  • Publication number: 20240195600
    Abstract: An inference unit (1033) predicts as a prediction parameter value, a future parameter value of a time synchronization parameter used for time synchronization calculation which is calculation for synchronizing times of two devices. When a measured parameter value which is a measured value corresponding to the prediction parameter value is generated with elapse of time, a cumulative distribution table generation unit (1034) calculates as a prediction error, a difference between the measured parameter value and the prediction value. A cumulative probability calculation unit (1036) calculates an abnormality degree indicating possibility that an abnormality is included in the measured parameter value, using the prediction error.

  • Publication number: 20240146055
    Abstract: Because power receiving and distributing equipment is configured with a plurality of devices combined together, it is sometimes difficult to perform inspection operation for the inspection items separated into those set for each individual device. Therefore, in the power receiving and distributing equipment, even if an attempt is made to associate each device with an inspection result, an inspection result of a plurality of devices that are grouped cannot be associated with each device. According to the present disclosure, an inspection result of the power receiving and distributing equipment can be associated with an inspection item of each device.

  • Publication number: 20240098005
    Abstract: A master station (111) and a slave station (121) each communicate an individually set, fixed number of communication frames in a cyclic period. The communication frame contains, as communication information, a sequence number and a period number. The master base station (113) and the slave base station (123) determine, upon communication of each communication frame in a wireless manner, if there is a missing communication frame on a basis of the communication information of a this-time communication frame and the communication information of a last-time communication frame. When there is a missing communication frame, a history management server (300) records communication history information of the last-time communication frame and of the this-time communication frame, as preceding/succeeding history information.

    Abstract: A communication control system (500) includes a plurality of control devices (100) that communicate via a 5G network and a plurality of controlled devices (200) respectively controlled by the plurality of control devices (100). A control device (100) acquires, from emergency stop group information, emergency stop group numbers of emergency stop groups to which the control devices (100) belong. Then, the control device (100) calculates the total number of emergency stop groups, and creates slice information for connecting to the same number of UPFs as the total number of emergency stop groups. The control device (100) registers itself with the 5G network, acquires UPF destination information, which is destination information to UPFs (410), and stores, in a destination conversion table, information in which each emergency stop group number is associated with a destination UPF without duplication of a destination UPF (410) between the emergency stop groups.

  • Patent number: 7697560
    Abstract: A base station assigns a most appropriate carrier from wide frequency bands in response to a re-request for channel establishment received from a mobile station, even if a same slot as a slot last assigned is assigned. Furthermore, a frequency management table is managed in which carriers that form a radio channel and are grouped by a specific number thereof so as to be distributed over wide frequency bands. Priorities used to search groups are individually provided for base stations that form a system. This allows neighboring base stations to distribute carriers over the wide frequency bands.
