  • Publication number: 20240152838
    Abstract: To provide a non-destructive inspection judgment data management device with which the workability of a judge is improved and a burden on a client of a judgment task is reduced, the device includes: a first database registration module which registers image data of a weld point in a first database; a second database registration module which registers judge information on a judge undertaking a judgment task of judging whether a weld defect is present at the weld point based on the image data, in a second database; and an access control module which allows, based on contract information indicating a contract for the judgment task has been established with the judge selected as a contractor of the judgment task among the judges registered in the second database, the contractor to access the image data related to the judgment task in the image data registered in the first database via Internet.

  • Publication number: 20240141603
    Abstract: A seismic reinforcement device for a bridge includes a first member having a projecting portion and a second member having a depressed portion. The device has a horizontal force sharing function in which the projecting and the depressed portions are freely fitted to and engaged with one another to constitute a shear key and resist a horizontal force by causing the first member to be coupled to and supported by any one of the substructure and the superstructure and causing the second member to be coupled to and supported by the other of the substructure and the superstructure. In addition, the device has a level difference preventive function that suppresses dropping of the superstructure and reduces a level difference of the substructure and the superstructure by interposing a spacer having a predetermined thickness between the first and second members or between the substructure or the superstructure and the device.

  • Patent number: 7052653
    Abstract: Disclosed is a microsize driving device in which falling of track proteins from an arrangement of motor protein molecules arranged on a linear track groove provided on a substrate is suppressed and utilization of kinetic energy of track proteins as a driving energy is made possible by controlling the moving direction to a single direction. Namely, provided is a microsize driving device which comprises a substrate, an arrangement of motor protein molecules such as, for example, kinesin molecules deposited on the bottom of a linear track groove provided thereon and track proteins such as, for example, microtubules disposed thereon and is characterized in that the said linear track groove has side surfaces shaped in such a structure as to permit a linear movement of the track proteins moving in a certain specific direction but to inhibit the track proteins moving in the reverse direction thereto causing reversion for the movement in the above mentioned specific direction.
