Abstract:
An information storage unit stores pieces of information that are classified on the basis of their relationships. An information providing unit provides a client terminal with information stored in the information storage unit via a communication network in response to an access request from the client terminal. An access frequency acquiring unit acquires access frequencies, for respective classification items of the pieces of information, of accesses to the pieces of information. An information generating unit generates prescribed information so that pieces of information of plural classification items will be displayed in the client terminal in such a form as to be based on histories of the access frequencies.
Abstract:
A circuit board storage bag and a storage rack are disclosed. The stock in process, of the printed circuit boards between processes, is reduced while at the same time saving the space otherwise required for the stock, and the inward and outward delivery of the printed circuit boards are facilitated. A plurality of printed circuit board storage bags (1) each for accommodating a circuit board (90) each comprise a front surface portion (11) and a rear surface portion (12) opposed to the obverse and reverse surfaces, respectively, of the circuit board (90) accommodated in the circuit board storage bag (1) in closed state and connecting portions (13 to 15) for connecting the front surface portion (11) and the rear surface portion (12). The front surface portion (11) and the rear surface portion (12) connected to each other are adapted to bend at the connecting portions (13 to 15) thereby to open and close the circuit board storage bag (1) for use in transporting the circuit board (90) between processes. In each process, the circuit boards (90) are stored in a storage rack having an inclined mounting surface (51) for mounting the storage bags (1) and a bag stopper (52) at the lower end of the mounting surface (51). The bags (1) are stored in vertical position on one side at the lower end of the mounting surface (51).
Abstract:
A work-flow support having: a processing wait task storage unit that temporarily stores a task execution request and a rule interpretation execution unit executes a task corresponding to the execution request stored in the rule interpretation execution unit under the execution of another task according to rules. The rule interpretation execution unit and the task history storage unit manage history information about each task which has initiated its execution. The rule interpretation execution unit allows a task connection information storage unit to store therein connection information for connecting history information about the task corresponding to the execution request and another task to be executed to one another. When the history information about a task corresponding to a new execution request stored in the processing wait task storage unit is already stored in the task history storage unit, the rule interpretation execution unit notifies the corresponding history information to a request source of the new execution request and reflects the history information about the task corresponding to the new execution request and the history information about the already-stored task on connection information as history information about the same task.
Abstract:
A drum type washing apparatus and a method of processing the wash using the drum type washing apparatus wherein they have a characterizing feature which consists in that the peripheral wall of a rotary drum made of a perforated plate is configured in the form of a wall having a single corrugated portion or a plurality of corrugated portions which do not intersect the direction of centrifugal force generated by rotation of the rotary drum at right angles. Further, they have other characterizing features which consist in that the apparatus is provided with a liquid injecting nozzle and/or a gas blowing nozzle and/or a hot air blowing nozzle for allowing liquid and/or gas and/or hot air to be injected and/or blown into the interior of the rotary drum whereby a period of time required for performing steps of washing, dewatering and drying the wash in the rotary drum can be shortened. Moreover, they have another characterizing feature which consists in that the rotary drum is rotated and air is blown into the interior of the rotary drum while a door is kept opened so that the wash can be discharged from the rotary drum at a high efficiency under the influence of force generated by flowing of the air.
Abstract:
The output shaft of a nut runner for tightening a fastener such as a bolt is first rotated with a first torque at a first speed. When the tightening torque of the output shaft reaches a preset switching torque, the first torque first speed rotation of the output shaft is interrupted, and thereafter the output shaft is rotated with a second torque at a second speed. When the tightening torque then reaches a preset snug torque, the second torque second speed rotation of the output shaft is interrupted, and thereafter the output shaft is rotated with a third torque at a third speed. When the tightening torque reaches a preset final torque, the third torque third speed rotation of the output shaft is stopped, thus completing the tightening of the fastener.

The bags are stored in vertical position on one side at the lower end of the mounting surface.
Abstract:
A workflow management device which cooperates with an electronic bulletin board is disclosed. The workflow management device includes a request target designation unit which accepts a designation of a request target of an activity in a workflow and having a function to accept a designation of an electronic bulletin board as a request target of the activity, and a bulletin board posting unit which posts, when the request target designation unit designates an electronic bulletin board as a request target of an activity, to the electronic bulletin board, an activity request message containing a link to data of the activity in the workflow.
Abstract:
A graphical access counter for encouraging users to repeatedly access a homepage is provided. In a flower-counter-number display area of the access counter, a flower counter value incremented by each access and reset at a predetermined period is displayed. In a flower-counter-image display area, a plant image growing in accordance with the flower counter value is displayed. In a cumulative-counter display area, a cumulative counter value incremented by each access is displayed. In a comment display area, a message from a sever is displayed. The flower counter value and the cumulative counter value are incremented only by one a day even if the corresponding homepage is accessed a plurality of times within the same day.
Abstract:
The invention provides a workflow support system and a method of the same that enables to refer to and to trace the history and progress state of the control information, as to a workflow transferring into a different system and an atypical task. The data base contains a task control information for executing a workflow, and the conversion unit converts a task information into a task sheet being an electronic document, which is stored in the document data base or the open document server. The task control information contains a relation between the tasks and a pointer indicating a storage location of a task sheet corresponding to the task, and the pointer is contained also in the task sheet. The task sheets are linked by this pointer. Tracing this pointer makes it possible to refer to the task sheets of the tasks involved, to grasp the progress state, and further to trace the task sheets involved.
Abstract:
A work holding device is intended for use in combination with a processing machine, such as an assembling apparatus, an industrial robot or a machine tool. The work holding device comprises a base plate (8), a slide base (9) supported for vertical movement on the base plate (8), a swivel head (10) supported for turning on the slide base (9), and a rotary table (11) supported on the swivel head for rotation about an axis perpendicular to the axis of turning of the swivel head. The slide base (9), the swivel head (10) and the rotary table (11) are controlled properly to set a work (12) held on the rotary table (11) in an optional position relative to the associated processing machine. The work holding device and the processing machine are controlled for synchronous operation by a single controller according to a control program.
