  • Patent number: 9524288
    Abstract: An FT diagram aid device is provided with an import portion for obtaining a connection relationship of ruled lines and character strings from first data which is data of an FT diagram expressing a tree structure by the ruled lines and the character strings on a sheet of a spreadsheet program, acquiring an event included in the FT diagram and a connection relationship between events from an obtained connection relationship of the ruled lines and the character strings, and generating second data describing the tree structure of the FT diagram in a markup language based on the same and an editing portion for editing the second data to generate third data describing the tree structure of the edited FT diagram in the markup language.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8359894
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for cooling a hot-rolled steel strip after a finishing rolling in which a transportation speed varies, the method including: setting a transportation-speed changing schedule on the basis of a temperature of a steel strip before the finishing rolling and a condition of the finishing rolling; performing a first cooling in which the hot-rolled steel strip is cooled under a film boiling state in a first cooling section; performing a second cooling in which the hot-rolled steel strip is cooled with a water amount density of not less than 2m3/min/m2 in a second cooling section; and coiling the hot-rolled steel strip, in which a cooling condition is controlled in the first cooling so as to satisfy 0.8?(T2a??T2a)/?Tx?1.2.

  • Patent number: 7979165
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a mass flow controller comprising a calibrating valve disposed on the most upstream side of a path, a mass flow rate control valve mechanism, a tank provided at the path on the upstream side of the mass flow rate control valve mechanism, a mass-flow-rate-sensing means, a pressure-sensing means, a means for controlling the mass flow rate control valve mechanism, and a mass flow rate calibration control means, the method comprising the steps of (1) permitting a fluid at a set mass flow rate to flow through the path, (2) setting the mass flow rate control valve mechanism at a degree of opening that the mass flow rate of the fluid is equal to the set mass flow rate, (3) closing the calibrating valve, (4) measuring the pressure and mass flow rate of the fluid after a fluid flow from the tank is stabilized, (5) determining a variation ratio of the pressure and mass flow rate to reference pressure and mass flow rate measured by the same procedures in an initial state, and (6) performing cali
