  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10508052
    Abstract: With a method of cutting a tube glass (G1) according to the present invention, the tube glass (G1) is irradiated with laser light (L) having a focal point (F) adjusted to an inside of the tube glass (G1), to thereby form an inner crack region (C1) including one or more cracks in a portion of the tube glass (G1) in a circumferential direction of the tube glass (G1) through multiphoton absorption that occurs in an irradiation region of the laser light (L). Then, in the tube glass (G1), there is generated a stress that urges the one or more cracks in the inner crack region (C1) to propagate in the circumferential direction of the tube glass (G1) to cause the one or more cracks to propagate throughout an entire circumference of the tube glass (G1), to thereby cut the tube glass (G1).

  • Publication number: 20180215648
    Abstract: A cutting method for a tube glass (G2) includes a crack forming step of forming a crack (C) in an inside of the tube glass (G2) through multiphoton absorption that occurs in an irradiation region of laser light (L) by irradiating in the inside of the tube glass (G2) with the laser light (L) having a focal point adjusted to the inside of the tube glass (G2). The crack forming step includes moving a position of the focal point of the laser light from an inner surface (G2b) side to an outer surface (G2a) side in the inside of the tube glass (G2), to thereby cause the crack (C) to propagate in the inside of the tube glass (G2).
