  • Patent number: 11935012
    Abstract: A construct information management system and method for enabling handling of different types of data is provided. A construct information management system 1 for managing information related to a construct includes: a data collection unit 11 configured to collect different types of source data related to different types of constructs from prescribed data sources 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B and retain the collected source data; and a data management unit 12 configured to map the collected source data onto a prescribed spatiotemporal model, acquire prescribed data associated with input data on the basis of at least mapping information on the prescribed spatiotemporal model, and process and output the acquired prescribed data.

  • Patent number: 11932770
    Abstract: A method for producing a resin sintered body 1 by applying an ink 3 to thermoplastic resin powder 2 and sintering the powder, the method including the step of immersing an intermediate resin sintered body 1m, which has an unevenly colored region on the surface thereof and the whole of which has been already sintered, in a surface treatment liquid containing sulfuric acid and chromic anhydride, in which the concentration of chromic anhydride is 300 g/L or more, for 5 minutes or longer. When producing a resin sintered body by sintering thermoplastic resin powder, the surface of the resin sintered body can be evenly and sufficiently colored to an extent required without an unevenly colored region on the surface thereof, and also the surface of the resin sintered body can have a good appearance and smoothness.

  • Publication number: 20220069354
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a highly practical electrolyte solution which has high oxidation resistance and enables dissolution-precipitation of magnesium to proceed repeatedly and stably. The present invention relates to an electrolyte solution for a magnesium battery comprising a mixture of a compound represented by the general formula [1], a Lewis acid or a compound represented by the general formula [4], and a solvent; an electrochemical device containing the electrolyte solution; and a compound represented by the general formula [1].

  • Patent number: 9202649
    Abstract: An operation device includes three contact circuits each including fixed terminals and a slider as a movable contact for selectively changing a state between the fixed terminals to an ON/OFF state, a determination unit to which the contact circuits are connected, and an operation signal generation unit that outputs a signal indicating that an operation unit is in a state of ON operation. In response to an ON operation, the slider moves from an initial position where all contact circuits are in an OFF state to an end position where all contact circuits are turned on. Assuming that one of the contact circuits is a reference contact circuit and the others are output contact circuits, the reference contact circuit is provided such that a distance from the initial position to a position where the reference contact circuit is turned on is smaller than that for the output contact circuits.

  • Patent number: 6466437
    Abstract: An interface cable allows the number of components and manufacturing costs to be reduced. The interface cable has a housing defining an inner volume which has an opening. A first connector is removably connectable to one of a computer and a portable terminal. The first connector protrudes through the opening in the housing. An interface circuit is coupled to the first connector in which the interface circuit is located within the housing. A cable is coupled to the interface circuit. A second connector is removably connectable to the other of the computer and the portable terminal.
