Abstract: An abnormality detection system includes a processor configured to execute a process. The process includes: storing log data in a storage in which at least a production device number is associated with the event date and time; referring to the log data stored in the storage and calculating a temporal relationship between a first device and a second device that subsequently performs a process after the first device from among a plurality of production devices; detecting elapse of a reference time that is obtained from both the latest log data from among the pieces of log data related to the first device stored in the storage and the temporal relationship calculated at the calculating and that new log data related to the second device is not newly stored in the storage; and displaying an alarm when detection is obtained at the detecting.

Abstract: A display method of a manufacturing status to visualize a manufacturing status of products each manufactured through processing performed by a plurality of apparatuses included in a manufacturing line includes identifying, for each product to be manufactured in a certain manufacturing unit, a starting time or an ending time or both of the processing performed on the product by a first apparatus and a starting time or an ending time or both of the processing performed on the product by a second apparatus based on log information of the first apparatus and log information of the second apparatus, the first and the second apparatuses being included in the manufacturing line, the second apparatus performing the processing after the processing performed by the first apparatus, using a processor.

Abstract: A visualization method of manufacturing status is implemented by a computer that visualizes manufacturing status of a product manufactured sequentially by a plurality of processes. The visualization method includes: placing a first symbol that indicates a start and an end of the manufacturing of the product in a first process of the processes on a first temporal axis of the first process with a width corresponding to a time taken from the start to the end of the manufacturing in the first process, and a second symbol that indicates a start and an end of the manufacturing of the product in a second process following the first process on a second temporal axis of the second process with a width corresponding to a time taken from the start to the end of the manufacturing in the second process, the first and the second temporal axes extending in a same direction.

Abstract: To provide a recoil starter which is provided with a ratchet member smoothly sliding on an inner peripheral surface of a drive pulley and capable of being manufactured at a low cost. A recoil starter is provided with a circular cross section ratchet member rotatably mounted on a shaft hole. The ratchet member is configured by: a rotary shaft portion inserted into the shaft hole; an arm portion bent at a substantially right angle and extending from the rotary shaft portion; and a distal end portion bent parallel to the rotary shaft portion and extending from the arm portion. The ratchet member rotates upon rotation of a rope reel in an engine start direction, engages with a drive pulley by the rotation, and transmits torque of the rope reel to the drive pulley.

Abstract: A managing unit manages an identifier for identifying an authenticated container that is authenticated as a legitimate container. An inquiring unit inquires, before transferring a substance between containers, the managing unit whether both of the containers are the authenticated containers. An approving unit approves a transaction of the substance, upon acquiring a response from the inquiring unit saying that both of the containers are the authenticated containers.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a portable bush cutter including: a pole; a working part that is provided at one end of the pole; an engine part that drives the working part and that is provided at the other end of the pole; a drive shaft that connects the working part and the engine part; a maneuvering handle that is provided on an intermediate portion of the pole along a length direction thereof; and a vibration isolating member that is interposed between the maneuvering handle and the pole.
