Abstract: An integrated control device that assigns a same attribute to plural pieces of status information integrally monitored over at least two or more pieces of equipment, to derive integrated status information and integrate the plural pieces of status information. An integration processor derives the integrated status information such that a group of pieces of preset status information is referenced with respect to plural pieces of status information with a same attribute from among status information of monitoring target functions stored in monitoring data of equipment and provided for each of plural pieces of the equipment to be monitored or an operation applying an operator being set for each attribute to pieces of status information with the same attribute from among status information of monitoring target functions stored in monitoring data of equipment and provided for each of plural pieces of the equipment to be monitored is carried out.

Abstract: A transmission method including: a spreading code channel selection for selecting randomly a spreading code channel for CDMA spreading of transmission data, a time slot channel selection for selecting randomly a time slot channel for transmitting the CDMA-spread transmission data, a frequency channel selection for selecting randomly a frequency channel for transmitting the CMDA-spread transmission data, and a transmission for transmitting the transmission data CDMA-spread in the spreading code channel selected in the spreading code channel selection, using the time slot channel selected in the time slot channel selection, at a frequency corresponding to the frequency channel selected in the frequency channel selection.

Abstract: An apparatus for correcting the circumferential length of a metal ring has a drive roller 2 and a driven roller 3 positionable closely to each other for training a metal ring W therearound, and a correcting roller 4 disposed between the drive roller 2 and the driven roller 3. The apparatus also has a first displacement applying unit for displacing the drive roller 2 and the driven roller 3 away from each other when the metal ring W is trained around the drive roller 2, the driven roller 3, and the correcting roller 4.

Abstract: A drum slicing apparatus is capable of highly accurately and efficiently slicing a drum made of a thin metal sheet which is relatively highly flexible. The drum slicing apparatus has a support shaft rotatable about its own axis, a cylindrical drum holder supported on the support shaft for holding the drum by pressing engagement with an inner circumferential surface of the drum over an entire length thereof, and a slicing device having slicing edges for slicing the drum into the metal rings by engaging and cutting into the drum at predetermined cutting positions thereon while the drum is being rotated by the support shaft through the drum holder.

Abstract: In a molten metal plating apparatus all surfaces of a sinking roller and a supporting roller to be in contact with a molten metal are coated with iron silicide films. A bearing comprises a holder made of a heat resistant steel and lined with a carbon-carbon fiber complex material. A surface of the holder is coated with an Fe3Si film similar to the sinking roller. There is an Fe3Si film on a surface of a shaft portion, and the Fe3Si is in contact with and slides on the carbon-carbon fiber complex material.
