  • Publication number: 20230266481
    Abstract: A communication system includes a server device and a communication device worn by a player. The server device includes a route storage unit storing route information defining a set route and including height information associated with a position on the set route, a position acquisition unit that acquires an actual measurement position being a position actually measured from the communication device, and a position estimation unit that estimates an estimate position of the player on the set route based on the route information and the actual measurement position. The communication device includes a transmission unit that transmits the actual measurement position to the server device when a first distance between the estimate position and the actual measurement position is greater than or equal to an adjustment threshold value.

  • Patent number: 6971169
    Abstract: This invention concerns a heat-resistant assembly having a heat-resistant block conformed to the contours of boiler tubes and the surface of their connecting rib. The heat-resistant assembly has an arm which protrudes from the surface of the rib toward the heat-resistant block and which has a catch on the end. The block has an indentation in which the catch on the arm engages. The block can be hung on or removed from the tube assembly by means of the arms and indentations. The heat-resistant assembly is further distinguished by the fact that a space is created between the end of the arm and the indentation of the block. A fusible substance, which will melt when the temperature of the arm exceeds a given value, is placed in the space. The heat-resistant assembly is further distinguished by the fact that an indentation is formed in the block in which a heat-resistant sleeve is adhered to engage the arm. This arrangement makes it possible to manufacture the heat-resistant block using press molding.
