  • Publication number: 20220057773
    Abstract: There is provided a server that includes: an inspection item/main part correspondence table in which inspection items of the work machine and main parts of the work machine are associated; an inspection item list acquisition unit acquiring an inspection item list of the inspection target machine based on information about the inspection target machine received from the terminal; and a main part list acquisition unit acquiring a main part list in which the service parts are enumerated, being associated with the inspection items of the inspection target machine, based on the inspection item/main part correspondence table. The main part list acquisition unit transmits the acquired main part list to the terminal via the communication circuit as the selection information about the service parts.

  • Patent number: 11044319
    Abstract: An equipment analysis support apparatus includes an equipment constraint information storage unit that stores equipment constraint information which is a correspondence relationship between each process constituting work performed using a plurality of pieces of equipment and a constraint to be imposed on the equipment in each process; a work process information acquisition unit that acquires work process information which is information on a process of the work currently in progress; a configuration information generation unit that, when it is determined that a current work state is changed, specifies a constraint to be imposed on the equipment in the changed work state and generates a configuration of analysis processing of the equipment satisfying the specified constraint based on the acquired work process information and the equipment constraint information; and a processing execution unit that performs processing necessary for analysis of the equipment based on the generated configuration.

  • Patent number: 4921325
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector for connecting optical fiber ribbons to each other, each of ribbons including a plurality of optical fibers spaced in line, and a method of attaching the same. The connector comprises an alignment member for placing the optical fibers in the grooves formed therein, a deformable metal member disposed on the optical fibers in the grooves of the alignment member, and a ferrule incorporated at the front end pportion with both the alignment member and the deformable metal member and adapted at the rear end portion to retain the unexposed portion of the optical fiber ribbon. Accordingly, the optical fibers are fixedly held between the alignment member and the deformable metal member while the ribbon is fixedly held by the rear end portion of the ferrule. The front ends of the optical fibers are cut at the front end of the ferrule.
