  • Patent number: 10494004
    Abstract: A degradation estimation system includes a processing unit simulating an operation mode of equipment on a corresponding railroad section at each set-up timing based on corresponding railroad section timetable information, and processing respective simulation results, and an estimation unit aggregating respective processing results of the processing unit. The processing unit simulates a travel transition of each training existing in the corresponding railroad section timetable information as a dynamic of each train based on corresponding railroad section timetable information and a running curve, simulates a state change of each track circuit based on the simulation result and railroad track information, and simulates an operational change of the equipment on each track circuit. The estimation unit aggregates the simulation result of the processing unit indicating the operational change of the equipment disposed on each track circuit, and estimates the degradation of the equipment from the aggregation result.

  • Patent number: 7703072
    Abstract: Reliability is evaluated in constructing a component based-on application and an application for realizing reliability required can be constructed efficiently. A run-time history such as an occurrence frequency of errors, a recovery time required at error occurrence, and a processing capacity at preventive maintenance is added per software component to a run-time history list having been recoded per execution environment such as an application ID, combined component IDs, and executed hardware ID. From these pieces of information, an interval of performing preventive maintenance recommended per software component during system construction is calculated. By comparing reliability per software component and reliability required for the system, advisability is determined and conformance is evaluated. An execution schedule for preventive maintenance and a processing capability are calculated about the entire component-based application created by combining the software components.

  • Patent number: 6708878
    Abstract: When a user accesses an IC card system, the user intentionally registers processing or actions necessary for an IC card to an IC card management system, or the system determines a predetermined state to register the processing to the IC card management system. The IC card management system beforehand delivers the actions to an IC card terminal. Thereafter, when the user inserts the IC card of which the necessary actions have been registered to the IC card management system to the IC card terminal, the IC card terminal executes the actions corresponding to the IC card.

  • Patent number: 5940817
    Abstract: To generate a problem solving plan and/or a system control plan respectively in association with the contents of the problem and/or the system operation conditions, there are disposed element knowledge for storing therein problem solving methods and system control guidelines and harmonizing knowledge for selecting and/or modifying the element knowledge. Depending on the contents of the problem and/or the system operation conditions, selections and modifications are executed on the problem solving methods and system control guidelines so as to produce an optimal problem solving method and/or an optimal system control guideline. Even when the solving method, the problem solving condition, and system executing situation vary depending on a given problem solving condition and a given system executing situation, an appropriate solving plan can be proposed.
