  • Publication number: 20230046498
    Abstract: A non directional pneumatic tire is provided for an agricultural irrigation system. The tire includes first and second side walls and a radially outer wall defining an internal inflation chamber. A non directional tread pattern is defined on the tire and includes a plurality of longitudinal protrusions positioned substantially parallel to a rotational axis of the tire. The longitudinal protrusions are arranged in first and second rows extending from the first and second side walls toward and across the equatorial plane of the tire. The longitudinal protrusions of the first and second rows circumferentially alternate with each other and there is a circumferential spacing between adjacent longitudinal protrusions at the equatorial plane so that no portion of one longitudinal protrusion circumferentially coincides with or overlaps another.

  • Publication number: 20220390934
    Abstract: A SCADA web HMI system generates an integrated component by grouping components including a first component and provides a first animation effect to the integrated component. The first animation effect is applied to the integrated component as a whole but not individually applied to components constituting the integrated component. The system provides a second animation effect to the first component. The second animation effect is applied to the first component but not applied to the components constituting the integrated component except for the first component. The system associates the first animation effect with the value of a first PLC signal and changes the appearance of the integrated component according to the value of the first PLC signal. The system associates the second animation effect with the value of a second PLC signal and changes the appearance of the first component according to the value of the second PLC signal.

  • Patent number: 11454123
    Abstract: After a free-form surface is machined on an elongated material 1 with a projection 3 and a blade root 4 held, the holding of the projection 3 is released to release strain generated during machining. Upon release of the holding, the entire elongated material 1 deforms, and the projection 3 moves from a holding position A to a strain-released position B. A re-holding position C obtained by correcting the position B by the deformation amount of the elongated material 1 due to the weight of the elongated material 1 is determined, and the projection 3 is held again at the re-holding position C for further machining the free-form surface on the elongated material 1.

  • Publication number: 20220057780
    Abstract: An SCADA web HMI system includes a web browser for displaying an HMI screen. An integrated part identifier generation unit generates a new integrated part identifier when attribute identifiers of first part data and second part data are identical. A part data change unit changes part identifiers of the first part data and the second part data to the integrated part identifier. An integrated item name generation unit generates an integrated item name in which a screen identifier of the HMI screen, the integrated part identifier, and the identical attribute identifier are combined. The web browser changes, when a PLC signal received from a programmable logic controller corresponds to the integrated item name, a display state of the first part based on first display information and changes a display state of the second part based on second display information, according to the value of the received PLC signal.

  • Patent number: 11231692
    Abstract: An HMI renders on an HMI screen a process line which includes: a movable looper group part obtained by grouping at least one movable roll part and a plurality of line parts connected to the movable roll part; and a plurality of fixed roll parts connected to the movable looper group part. The HMI continuously obtains a process line length from an output signal of a monitoring target device. The HMI calculates a looper movement amount by dividing a difference between a process line total length and the process line length by the number of parts in the plurality of line parts which are shared by the movable looper group part with the plurality of fixed roll parts. The HMI changes a relative position between the plurality of fixed roll parts and the movable looper group part on the HMI screen according to the looper movement amount.

  • Publication number: 20210373546
    Abstract: A SCADA Web HMI system includes a drawing generation device (1) and an HMI terminal device (32). A drawing editor (11) generates SVG data (21) and part runtime attribute data (22). The HMI terminal device (32) includes a Web browser (321) that reads SVG data (21) and displays an HMI screen, and an HMI Web runtime (322) that reads the part runtime attribute data (22) as setting parameters and operates on the Web browser (321). When receiving signal data corresponding to unique signal names from a monitoring target device (7), the HMI Web runtime (322) changes display of parts corresponding to the unique signal names on the HMI screen.

  • Publication number: 20210208562
    Abstract: A hybrid rendering HMI terminal device (32) is provided with a web browser (321) and an HMI Web Runtime (322). The web browser (321) displays an HMI screen on which a first part and a second part that represent the state of a monitoring target device (7) are arranged. When signal data from the monitoring target device (7) is analog numerical data, a WebGL rendering processing unit (322i) renders the first part associated with the signal data by WebGL rendering. When signal data from the monitoring target device (7) is data other than analog numerical data, an SVG rendering processing unit (322h) renders the second part associated with the signal data by SVG rendering.
