20090146997 | Apparatus for displaying wiring - The present invention provides an apparatus which displays a plan wiring diagram and three-dimensional layout diagram by associating them with each other so that they can be viewed easily. A apparatus for displaying wiring includes a first storage for storing an image of a plan wiring diagram which shows parts and wirings and a second storage for storing a three-dimensional layout of an apparatus which incorporates the parts and the wirings, and a third storage for storing intermediate images transitional between a starting image in the plan wiring diagram and an ending image of a shape of the corresponding wiring in the three-dimensional layout. A processor displays the plan wiring diagram on the display device by retrieving the plan wiring diagram from the first storage based on a user's selection, and retrieves the intermediate images of a wiring from the third storage when the wiring is selected from the plan wiring diagram and displays transitions to the shape shown in the three-dimensional layout. | 06-11-2009 |

Moreover, while the wiring is highlighted, in response to user's operation of selecting gray display, the wiring display system switches the elements other than the selected component and the wirings extending from the component on the wiring diagram displayed on the display to be displayed in weak gray. | 02-10-2011 |
20110196572 | GENERATION OF REFERENCE VALUE FOR VEHICLE FAILURE DIAGNOSIS - Data during normal driving is generated using travel data during the occurrence of a failure or the like, the travel data being accumulated into ordinary vehicles traveling in a city or other places on a daily basis. A failure diagnosis of a vehicle is performed by comparing a reference value with the time sequence electronic control unit (ECU) data of a plurality of driving parameters during the occurrence of a failure, the data being stored into a storage device in the ECU of the vehicle when a failure of the vehicle has occurred. The time sequence ECU data obtained from a large number of vehicles are sequentially accumulated and stored and the numerical vectors of the accumulated time sequence ECU data are generated. The numerical vectors are clustered and classified into a plurality of clusters according to the characteristics. In each of the plurality of clusters, a range of high occurrence rate values is obtained for the values of the respective driving parameters. The obtained range of high occurrence rate values is then stored as a range of the normal values of the driving parameters, and the range of the normal values is set as the reference value for a failure diagnosis. | 08-11-2011 |
20110313616 | VEHICLE FAILURE DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE - A vehicle failure is diagnosed based on data recorded in an electronic control unit (ECU) of a vehicle. Driving data pertaining to multiple parameters which are stored in the electronic control unit of the vehicle for when a vehicle failure occurs are compared with reference values representing data during normal driving in order to diagnose a failure. The device utilizes an approximate search between inspection data, that is, driving data which are stored in the electronic control unit of the vehicle to be diagnosed for failure, and reference value groups categorized by driving environment, wherein a normal value range is set for each of the aforementioned parameters categorized by driving environment, and selects the reference value group categorized by driving environment which approximates the inspection data. Furthermore, the device compares the inspection data with the normal value ranges of each parameter of the selected reference value group categorized by driving environment so as to identify parameters which deviate significantly from the normal value ranges and find the cause of the failure based on the parameters identified. | 12-22-2011 |
20120065833 | DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS FOR ASSISTING A TROUBLE REPRODUCTION AND A METHOD FOR PRESENTING DATA FOR REPRODUCING TROUBLE - A trouble diagnosis apparatus which supports reproduction of trouble according to a trouble code provided from an electronic control unit of the vehicle. The apparatus comprises means for extracting, for at least one of the trouble codes, characteristics unique to the trouble code with respect to respective driving parameters, means for extracting, from said driving data associated with a plurality of trouble codes, global characteristics associated with a plurality of said trouble codes with respect to each one of said driving parameters, and for said at least one of the trouble codes, means, based on similarity between the characteristics unique to the trouble code and said global characteristics, for setting the portion of the characteristics unique to the trouble code that have low similarity as the driving data for reproducing the trouble corresponding to the trouble code. | 03-15-2012 |
20120065874 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DIAGNOSING DRIVING OPERATION - An apparatus is provided for providing users diagnosis on driving operations in the same manner as diagnosing vehicle failures and for presenting evaluation with supporting data so that users may recognize their driving operations. The apparatus reads out driving data for a plurality of driving cycles from an electronic control unit on board the vehicle. The electronic control unit includes a memory for storing driving data representing fuel efficiency condition of the vehicle in accordance with driving operation by a user in each driving cycle of the vehicle. Charts are produced representing fuel efficiency condition for each driving operation by the user for each driving cycle, based on the read out driving data. The charts are output as comparison results for each one of the driving cycles. | 03-15-2012 |
20130232738 | Slide Fastener and Method for Manufacturing the Same - There is provided a slide fastener including a pair of fastener stringers in which a plurality of fastener elements, are attached to opposing one-side edges of a pair of fastener tapes each of which is formed by coating a woven and tape-shaped core material with a coating material to form respective fastener element rows, and a slider slidably attached to the fastener element rows to engage and disengage the fastener elements. The tape-shaped core material is formed with a plurality of holes penetrating in a front back direction thereof the holes disposed at positions outer than the fastener elements in a width direction and arranged along a longitudinal direction of the fastener tapes. An edge of the each of the holes is molten, and the coating material is formed so as to cove the plurality of holes. | 09-12-2013 |

20140308596 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR STOPPING SOLID-OXIDE FUEL CELL SYSTEM - A SOFC system houses a reformer and a fuel cell stack in a module case. Each cell forming the fuel cell stack is made of a porous material having a composition containing at least nickel metal, includes a cell support having a gas passage through which the fuel gas from the reformer flows from an lower end to an upper end on the inside thereof, and the excessive fuel gas is combusted at the upper end of the gas passage. Here, after the power generation stops, until the temperature of the upper end of the fuel cell stack falls below the minimum oxidation temperature of the nickel metal, the supply amount of the fuel gas to the fuel cell stack is controlled in terms of a heat flow rate within a range of 0.1 to 0.5 times that during the system rated power generation. | 10-16-2014 |
20140315111 | SOLID-OXIDE FUEL-CELL SYSTEM AND STARTUP-CONTROL METHOD FOR SAME - An object of the invention is to improve durability of a SOFC system and secure favorable power generation performance during the actual useful service period of the system. In the SOFC system, a fuel gas flow rate to a fuel cell stack is set at F1 at the time of start-up. At a time point when a temperature T of the fuel cell stack reaches a first temperature T1 or higher after the temperature is started to increase, when it is determined that the stack temperature T at the time of the previous system stop is lower than or equal to a predetermined value Tb, the fuel gas flow rate is decreased to F2a (which is less than F1), and when it is determined that the stack temperature T is higher than the predetermined value Tb, the fuel gas flow rate is decreased to F2b (which is less than F2a) to slow the temperature increase rate. Furthermore, when the stack temperature T reaches T2, the fuel gas flow rate is returned to F1 so as to increase the fuel gas flow rate and then the process proceeds to the next process. | 10-23-2014 |
