    摘要: An opening degree sensor produces a sensor output corresponding to a valve opening degree of a valve, and includes a memory into which the sensor output corresponding to the valve opening degree is written. When performing a first half process, flow rates of more than one valve device are measured, a flow rate error is calculated based on an average flow rate obtained by averaging the measured flow rates, and the sensor output corresponding to the valve opening degree into which the flow rate error is incorporated is obtained. When performing a second half process, the sensor output corresponding to the valve opening degree obtained in the first half process is written into the memory of the valve device whose flow rate is not measured.

    摘要: In an unfolded state, a sheet defines a panel at a medial region, and tab portions disposed peripherally to the panel. A method comprises (A) sandwiching, between a first tab portion and a second tab portion, (i) a first commissural portion of a first leaflet, and (ii) a second commissural portion of a second leaflet; (B) attaching the first tab portion and the second tab portion to the sheet by stitching a first stitching through the tab portions and the commissural portions; (C) subsequently, covering the first stitching by: (i) forming the first tab portion into a first tab having an outer layer and an inner layer, and (ii) forming the second tab portion into a second tab having an outer layer and an inner layer; and (D) subsequently, stitching a second stitching through the outer and inner layers, and the commissural portions. Other embodiments are also described.
