  • Publication number: 20240125499
    Abstract: A normalization unit acquires a normalized reference value being a value obtained from normalization of a reference value according to a predetermined normalization rule, the reference value being a status value acquired from an air conditioner during a normal estimation period during which the air conditioner is estimated to operate normally, the status value indicating an operational status of the air conditioner. An acquiring unit acquires from the air conditioner, the status value as a diagnosis value during a diagnosis period during which it is not clear whether or not the air conditioner operates normally and which is after the normal estimation period. The normalization unit normalizes the diagnosis value according to the normalization rule.

  • Publication number: 20230146356
    Abstract: A transmission apparatus includes a controller that processes data that is transmitted in communication between the communication module and a reception device. The controller extracts data from transmission-scheduled data and produces a transmission-scheduled data list. When data communication between the transmission apparatus and the reception device is interrupted and is then recovered, and an interruption history of the communication is present in the reception device, the controller acquires from the reception device, an unreceived data list indicating data that is not received by the reception device before the communication is interrupted. The controller combines the acquired unreceived data list with the produced transmission-scheduled data list to update the transmission-scheduled data list.

  • Patent number: 11003122
    Abstract: A printer including a transport path; a transport mechanism that is disposed in the transport path and transports the medium in a transporting direction caused when printing is executed by a recording section; a discharge-side transport path that forms a part of a downstream side in the transporting direction from the recording section in the transport path and is movable to a position close to the transport mechanism and a position separated from the transport mechanism; and a control section that controls the recording section and the transport mechanism. In a state where a transport failure of the medium occurs in the transport path, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, the control section executes an additional transport process of discharging the medium to the discharge-side transport path by transporting the medium in the transporting direction by a predetermined amount by the transport mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10618324
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a plurality of belt rollers that rotate, a direction in which a rotation axis of each belt rollers extends being a width direction that intersects a transport direction of a medium; a transporting belt that, while wound across the plurality of belt rollers, rotate to transport the medium in the transport direction; a print head that performs printing on the medium transported by the transporting belt; and a control unit that rotates the transporting belt while in a state in which an unrotated state of the transporting belt has continued for a predetermined period. When a rotation position of the transporting belt after application of power and before rotating the transporting belt is referred to as an initial rotation position, in a case in which a rotation of the transporting belt is to be stopped, the control unit stops the transporting belt at a rotation position that is different from the initial rotation position.

  • Patent number: 9715240
    Abstract: A facility equipment operation device includes an affected section determiner and a mismatch detector. An affected section determiner computes an affected section that is affected by a controlled equipment that is facility equipment with a changed control parameter, by referencing data including an installation position of facility equipment in an objective space, and a capability related to an area affected by the facility equipment. The mismatch detector detects a mismatched state on the basis of whether or not an effect exerted by the controlled equipment on the affected section when the controlled equipment operates according to the changed control parameter, and an effect exerted on the affected section by a facility equipment currently operating, are in a predetermined relationship.
