  • Patent number: 11360457
    Abstract: A program for causing a processor of a computer to execute: a step of receiving an input of first information indicating a name of a component of a finished product to be manufactured at a manufacturing site; a step of receiving an input of second information indicating a name of a manufacturing process for the component; a step of receiving an input of image information captured by photographing or filming a state of the manufacturing process; a step of associating the image information with the first information and the second information; and a step of presenting the image information together with the first information and the second information to a user.

  • Patent number: 6971169
    Abstract: This invention concerns a heat-resistant assembly having a heat-resistant block conformed to the contours of boiler tubes and the surface of their connecting rib. The heat-resistant assembly has an arm which protrudes from the surface of the rib toward the heat-resistant block and which has a catch on the end. The block has an indentation in which the catch on the arm engages. The block can be hung on or removed from the tube assembly by means of the arms and indentations. The heat-resistant assembly is further distinguished by the fact that a space is created between the end of the arm and the indentation of the block. A fusible substance, which will melt when the temperature of the arm exceeds a given value, is placed in the space. The heat-resistant assembly is further distinguished by the fact that an indentation is formed in the block in which a heat-resistant sleeve is adhered to engage the arm. This arrangement makes it possible to manufacture the heat-resistant block using press molding.

  • Patent number: 6591790
    Abstract: A support fitting for the heat-resistant block to protect boiler tubes, which protrudes upward at a right angle from the surface of the rib between two boiler tubes, and which is welded on the rib and has a catch to engage with the heat-resistant block on the end. The support fitting is provided with a welding surface to be welded on the rib and shaped narrower by chamfering, and a single globule of a deoxidizing conductive material used as flux is attached to the narrowed welding surface, and is a vertical piece or rod which extends a fixed distance perpendicular from the rib. The support fitting includes a first upper surface being kept horizontal to support a ferrule, which can tightly engage with the ferrule for arc stud welding, thereby the ferrule can shield the welding surface, and a second upper surface which engages with the heat-resistant block.

  • Publication number: 20030033990
    Abstract: The objective of this invention is to provide a support fitting for a heat-resistant block to protect boiler tubes which can be easily and reliably stud-welded without losing any of its function as a support fitting. The support fitting according to this invention is used to attach to the heat-resistant block to protect boiler tubes. It protrudes upward at a right angle from the surface of the rib between two boiler tubes, and it is welded on the rib. The support fitting has a catch to engage with the heat-resistant block on its end. The support fitting according to this invention is distinguished by the fact that the welding surface of the support fitting to the rib is shaped narrower, and by the fact that a single globule of a deoxidizing conductive material used as flux is attached to the narrowed welding surface.

  • Patent number: 6012401
    Abstract: A heat-resistant assembly to shield boiler tubes which does not entail a thick heat-resistant block. This structure would be interposed between the boiler tubes and the combustion gases. Such a structure would be distinguished by the fact that it comprises heat-resistant block 16, itself composed of curved portion 16a, whose inner surface at one point comes in contact with the aforesaid boiler tube 11, and connecting portions 16b, and the aforesaid boiler tube assembly 12. The interlocking attachment structure which interlockingly secures these two components together in such a way that the block can be mounted or removed comprises recess 17, 58 or 68 and tongue 18, 59 or 69.
