Abstract: An AE signal is acquired from an AE sensor disposed on a fixed part of the rotating machine, and the presence or absence of rubbing in the rotating machine is determined, based on the AE signal. As a result, if the rubbing is determined to be present, a rubbing suppression operating condition imposed on control of the rotating machine is decided to suppress the rubbing.

Abstract: A battery system comprises a plurality of battery modules, each of the battery modules includes an assembled battery configured to include a plurality of battery cells connected in series, a monitoring unit configured to monitor the assembled battery, and an external member configured to be electrically connected to the monitoring unit, and the monitoring unit of each of the battery modules has a generation unit configured to generate, based on an electric signal input from the external member, an identification information item on the corresponding one of the battery modules, the identification information items of the respective battery modules being different from one another.

Abstract: A method for evaluating a crack in a metal member comprises a first removal step (S10) and a second removal step (S20). In the first removal step (S10), a step for electrolyzing a metal member having an oxide scale formed on a surface thereof, a step for acquiring an image of the oxide scale as a first image, and a step for determining whether or not a scale crack has occurred are repeated until occurrence of a scale crack is determined. In the second removal step (S20), a step for electrolyzing the metal member having the scale crack, a second image acquisition step for acquiring an image of the oxide scale as a second image, and a second determination step for determining whether or not the scale crack has disappeared are repeated until disappearance of the oxide scale is determined.

Abstract: A reactor is disclosed. The reactor is comprised of a housing, a solenoid coil, a center columnar member, and a core. The center columnar member provides first surfaces contacting with sandwich portions of the housing, and the core is comprised of resin including magnetic powder. The coil and the center columnar member are fixed in the core. A surface roughness (Rz2) of a second surface which contacts to the core is larger than a surface roughness (Rz1) of the first surfaces. The center columnar member further provides a basis surface of which roughness (Rz3) is smaller than the Rz2 and larger than the Rz1.

Abstract: A second member is superposed on a first member. A first recognition mark is described on the surface of the first member. A second recognition mark is described on the surface of the second members. The first recognition mark is fragmented along the edge of the second member when the second member is superposed on the first member. The second recognition mark ends at the edge of the second member. The second recognition mark cooperates with the first recognition mark for establishment of a predetermined geometric pattern. The relative positions of the first and second recognition marks can be adjusted based on an irregular or unshaped geometric pattern. The second member can thus reliably be superposed on the surface of the first member at the correct position.

Abstract: A turbine rotor repair method capable of forming a repair part by applying a deposit welding to a rotor material, the deposit welding being a thin deposit welding with a high deposition rate, wherein the repair part is formed by stacking beads by the thin deposit welding, and the thin deposit welding with the high deposition rate is performed by a submerged arc welding using a conductive flux.

Abstract: A laser diode driver solves problems of APC (Auto Power Control) group, a LD monitor group, and an optical output waveform, which occur when reducing adjusting resistors constituted in a conventional laser diode drive.

Abstract: In an equalizing amplifier that equalizes an electric signal obtained from a light signal received via an optical transmission path, an AGC circuit generates first and second signals from the electric signal by referring to a threshold voltage. The first and second signals are complementary signals. An offset compensation circuit generates a first difference signal based on a difference between the first and second signals, compares the first difference signal with a first reference signal, and outputs, as the threshold voltage, a resultant error signal to the AGC circuit. The threshold voltage is varied so that it is located in the center of an amplitude of the electric signal whereby an offset of the AGC circuit can be compensated for.
