    Abstract: A condition monitoring system includes a vibration sensor for measuring a vibration waveform of a bearing in a wind turbine generation apparatus and a data processor for diagnosing abnormality of the bearing. In the data processor, an evaluation value computing unit time-sequentially computes an evaluation value that characterizes an effective value of vibration waveform data output from the vibration sensor within a certain time. A diagnosis unit diagnoses abnormality of the bearing based on transition of temporal change of the evaluation value. The evaluation value computing unit computes the minimum value of the effective values of vibration waveform data within a certain time, as the evaluation value.

  • Patent number: 11377358
    Abstract: A novel method for producing a porous carbon material which makes it possible to easily produce a porous carbon material having a desired shape. The method includes immersing a carbon-containing material having a desired shape and composed of a compound, alloy or non-equilibrium alloy containing carbon in a metal bath, the metal bath having a solidification point that is lower than a melting point of the carbon-containing material, the metal bath being controlled to a lower temperature than a minimum value of a liquidus temperature within a compositional fluctuation range extending from the carbon-containing material to carbon by decreasing the other non-carbon main components, to thereby selectively elute the other non-carbon main components into the metal bath while maintaining an external shape of the carbon-containing material to give a porous carbon material having microvoids.

  • Patent number: 11312360
    Abstract: If the destination has not been input, it is judged whether the present location is on the expressway (step S32). If the judgement result of the step S32 is positive, it is judged whether or not the actual SOC is less than or equal to the threshold TH2 (step S34). If the judgement result of the step S34 is positive, the restoring control is executed (step S36). Subsequent to the step S34 or S36, it is judged whether or not the vehicle is still on the expressway (step S38). If the judgement result of the step S38 is positive, it is judged whether or not the actual SOC is greater than or equal to the SOC_T2 (step S42). If the judgement result of the step S42 is positive, the maintaining control is executed (step S44).
