  • Patent number: 10450041
    Abstract: An underwater mobile inspection apparatus capable of inspecting an inspection object on a seafloor while cruising includes a cruising body configured to submerge under-water and cruise along the inspection object so as to not come into contact with the inspection object, a first movable arm provided on the cruising-body, and an inspection tool unit provided on the first movable arm and including at least one of an image-capturing camera for use in visually inspecting the inspection object and a device configured to inspect a wall thickness of the inspection object by using an ultrasonic wave. A controller is configured to, when the cruising-body cruises along the inspection object so as to not come into contact with the inspection object, operate the first movable arm to move the inspection tool unit, such that a positional relationship of the inspection tool unit with the inspection object becomes a predetermined target positional relationship.

  • Publication number: 20190110230
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) transmits a packet data network (PDN) connectivity request message to a mobility management entity (MME), receives a PDN connectivity accept message, and establishes a PDN connection with a second local gateway (LGW) in accordance with the PDN connectivity accept message. Thus, it is possible to provide a communication system and the like for a purpose of implementing the optimal communication control for enabling the UE to continue communication by switching a previously established PDN connection to a new PDN connection using a more optimal gateway.

  • Publication number: 20190018402
    Abstract: An abnormality-monitoring method and a computer program for plant abnormality monitoring with which it is possible to reliably detect a change in the condition of a plant even when the condition changes due to maintenance, etc., and to appropriately update reference data as needed and constantly monitor abnormalities with high accuracy on the basis of the detected change in the condition. To achieve this purpose, the Mahalanobis distance of an aggregate of collected measurement data and reference data is calculated, the respective dispersion values of the reference data in a reference period and the measurement data in the most recent fixed period are calculated and compared per fixed interval for the calculated Mahalanobis distance, and the reference data is updated when the result of the comparison exceeds a criterion serving as a threshold value.
