Abstract: A case database which stores requirement specifications in the past, and product specifications; a proposal base selection unit which selects a proposed base that becomes the gist of a newly proposed requirement specification; a requirement specification draft preparation unit which compares a requirement specification included in the proposal base and the requirement specification included in the requirement specification original plan, and when the requirement specification included in the proposal base does not satisfy the requirement of a customer, corrects the requirement specification included in the proposal base to the requirement specification included in the requirement specification original plan or a requirement specification similar to the requirement specification included in the requirement specification original plan among the requirement specifications stored in the case database; and a product specification draft preparation unit which prepares a product specification in accordance with the

Abstract: A similar design case example search apparatus includes a design case example storage unit that manages such information as specification values of design case examples of past products and costs and period for manufacturing the products; a recommended weight storage unit that stores recommended weight for every requirement specification categories; a requirement specification receiving unit that receives requirement specification values; a requirement specification satisfaction degree calculation unit that calculates a requirement specification satisfaction degree which is the degree that the specification values of each design case example stored in the design case example storage unit satisfy the requirement specification values; a recommended degree calculation unit that calculates a recommended value of a searched design case example based on the recommended weight stored in the recommended weight storage unit; and a search result display unit that displays searched products with similarity and recommend

Abstract: A container stock management technique in a hospital and a culture center is provided. A stock management device (1) manages both transfer (outgoing transfer) of cells sampled at the hospital to the culture center, and transfer (incoming transfer) of the cells cultured from the sampled cells at the culture center, to that hospital, with one working code. The ID of containers used individually for the outgoing transfer and the incoming transfer are made to correspond to an identical working code. The optimum transfer route including the procurement of containers is determined by examining the container stock in each of the hospital and the culture center.

Abstract: A design change support system constructed to store profile data containing information of products and members, alternative relevant data containing the relation between a old member and a new member and data of the inventory, consumption and delivery of each member, to read out a delivery lead time of each member contained in the profile data, to, when a product test due date is entered, order necessary members and calculate a consumption schedule of alternative members on the basis of the product test due date, and to contrive one or more schemes of the test configuration containing the member constitution of a product capable of being tested on a day near the product test due date and the test start date by using the delivery and stock status data and alternative relevant data of each member.

Abstract: In a design aiding method, a design aiding apparatus having the method, or a design aiding system possessing a plurality of such design aiding apparatuses for use in a field of computer software to facilitate a design process, there is determined, for a product having many variations of attributes and values thereof, an appropriate design procedure according to a state of design in a process of determining the attribute values of the product satisfying a request of a client. At occurrence of, for example, conflict during the design, the design procedure is guided for the user to obtain a design plan conforming to the request.

Abstract: A method and device of performing plating of an item having a row of fine parts, e.g. a flatpack IC are disclosed. The method comprises immersing said item in a bath of molten solder, removing said item from said bath while maintaining said item in an attitude such that said row of fine parts is sloped with respect to the surface of said molten solder, and causing flux to exert a fluxing action on said molten solder which adheres to said fine parts, thereby decreasing the surface tension of the solder adhering to said fine parts and preventing bridges of solder from forming between said fine parts.

Abstract: A margarine containing fish oil with well-balanced nutritive qualities and no fishy odor, containing as at least a part of the liquid oil a refined fish oil produced by subjecting a mixture of a polyhydric alcohol, a monoglyceride and a fish oil to a preliminary molecular distillation to remove volatile components and deodorize the fish oil, subjecting the deodorized fish oil to further molecular distillation and recovering vaporized components as the refined fish oil.
