  • Patent number: 12099926
    Abstract: A water treatment plant which performs water treatment using a water treatment device includes an imaging device, a processing device, and a control device. The imaging device images a water treatment environment of the water treatment device and outputs image data obtained by imaging. The processing device causes an arithmetic device which performs an arithmetic operation using one or more calculation models generated by machine learning to execute the arithmetic operation employing the image data output from the imaging device as input data of the one or more calculation models. The control device controls the water treatment device on the basis of output information output from the arithmetic device by executing the arithmetic operation.

  • Patent number: 8196300
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of an electric contact and manufacturing equipment of the electric contact. A contact and a metal base are superimposed and support by a jig, and a rotational tool, which rotates at a predetermined speed and advances/retracts to/from the jig, is pressed into a surface, which is not contacted with the contact, of the metal base while being rotated, so that the contact and the metal base are joined by solid state diffusion welding by using frictional heat generated by friction between the rotational tool and the metal base, and then the rotational tool is retracted from the metal base.

  • Patent number: 5748061
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay has low heat transmission from the electromagnetic block to the contacts and a conductive circuit would have low electrical resistance. In the relay, a movable contact terminal is caulked to a yoke with a flat protruding segment between them to act as a spacer to reduce the heat transmission. The relay may also have a movable contact terminal and a movable hinged spring fixed to the yoke of the electromagnetic block. The hinged spring may then be directly electrically connected to the movable contact terminal which is fixed to the yoke to lower the electrical resistance.

  • Patent number: 4734550
    Abstract: A laser processing method comprises the steps of generating a pulsed laser beam having a substantially circular shape; modifying the beam to a substantially rectangular shape; and scribing the surface of a workpiece with the rectangular beam to form grooves therein. The scribing step may include scanning the surface with the beam in a predetermined pattern, and aligning two parallel sides of the rectangular beam in parallel with the direction of the scanning. The beam may be made square, or may have unequal sides with the longer sides preferably arranged in parallel with the scanning direction.
