Abstract: A method for improving accuracy of estimating natural frequency of a distribution system. The estimation is performed in order to identify a rectifier load that generates harmonics due to commutation oscillation. It includes the steps of measuring a charging current flowing into a power factor improving capacitor to obtain first data, removing fundamental frequency from the first data to obtain second data, determining, from the second data, a first time at which the amplitude of commutating oscillation components takes a maximum value, picking up third data in the interval beginning from the first time and ending at a second time later than the first time by T/N, where T is the period of the fundamental frequency, and N is the number of rectifier phases, performing frequency analysis on the third data to form fourth data by expanding the third data into a Fourier series, and determining a local peak frequency, that is, the natural frequency in the fourth data.

In particular, the process can be suitably applied to a liquid distillate from a low-boiling material separation column in a step in which 1,2-dichloroethane used as a raw material for production of vinyl chloride is purified by using a fractionation column.

Abstract: The present invention provides a production control system of enhanced efficiency which is adapted to a mixed production line wherein products having different specifications are mass produced by assembling different parts on a common assembly line. This system is used in a factory wherein different products are required for steps of production. As a result, a production control plan can be scheduled in consideration of part transport times between production factories. To this end, the production control system corrects for the required number, transport time, and final production plan schedule. The final production plane schedule is adapted to establish a production ratio that is an integral number in each of feed cycles in a revolution of the assembly line. To this end, unreserved areas are provided in the feed cycles.

Abstract: An indication card has a plurality of apertures representing information code relating to parts to be assembled. The information code is determined by means of photodetectors of a reader and a processing unit. When the indication card is conveyed with 5 degrees of its inclination angle, no indication signal corresponding to the information code is produced. In order to detect the inclined indication card, there are provided a main and an auxiliary reading position detection photodetectors in the reader. The outputs of both detection photodetectors are used to determine the reading position of the indication card. The indication signal causes a corresponding one of lamps to be turned on which are provided regarding to the parts to be assembled.
