Production system that sets determination value of variable relating to abnormality of product
A production system includes a cell control apparatus that is connected to a machine control apparatus and an inspection control apparatus. The cell control apparatus includes a storage part that stores data on a state of the manufacturing machine, data on an environment state, and data on an inspection result of a product. The cell control apparatus includes a correlation analysis part that selects a variable relating to an abnormality based on a correlation between the inspection result of the product, and the data on the state of the manufacturing machine and the data on the environment state when the abnormality occurs in the inspection result, and a determination value setting part that sets a determination value of the variable relating to the abnormality.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR MATCHING MEASURED PRESSURE AND/OR HUMIDITY VALUES
The invention relates to a control system for measuring pressure and/or humidity, comprising at least one apparatus for measuring pressure and/or humidity, comprising at least one sensor for measuring pressure and/or humidity, wherein the sensor comprises at least one capacitor comprising at least two electrodes that are arranged, in particular, in a horizontal direction along and on an, in particular, flexible support material relative to one another. At least one dielectric layer is arranged between the electrodes, wherein at least one at least partially liquid-permeable and/or liquid-adsorbing moisture layer is arranged at least in some places on a side, facing away from the support material, of at least one electrode and/or of the dielectric layer. The at least one electrode and/or the dielectric layer are thus then arranged between the support material and the moisture layer in a transverse direction, such that a capacitance is at least partially changed by the liquid at least partially hitting the dielectric layer, wherein a processing unit is designed and provided to measure and/or store measurement values of the sensor. This creates a capacitive moisture sensor. The invention is characterized in that the data measured by the sensor is transmitted by the processing unit to a central CPU, wherein this data is processed by the processing unit.
HVAC SYSTEM USING MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL WITH DISTRIBUTED LOW-LEVEL AIRSIDE OPTIMIZATION AND AIRSIDE POWER CONSUMPTION MODEL
A building HVAC system includes an airside system having a plurality of airside subsystems, a high-level controller, and a plurality of low-level airside controllers. Each airside subsystem includes airside HVAC equipment configured to provide heating or cooling to one or more building spaces. The high-level controller is configured to generate a plurality of airside subsystem energy targets, each airside subsystem energy target corresponding to one of the plurality of airside subsystems and generated based on a thermal capacitance of the one or more building spaces to which heating or cooling is provided by the corresponding airside subsystem. Each low-level airside controller corresponds to one of the airside subsystems and is configured to control the airside HVAC equipment of the corresponding airside subsystem in accordance with the airside subsystem energy target for the corresponding airside subsystem.
Machining tool equipped with device for monitoring and controlling atmosphere inside machining tool control panel
A control panel of a machining tool includes a measurement unit measuring a temperature and a humidity involved with an atmosphere inside the control panel, an adjustment unit adjusting the temperature and the humidity, and an atmosphere control unit controlling an atmosphere inside the control panel by controlling the adjustment unit. Since the atmosphere control unit receives electric power supplied from a system separated from a power supply supplying electric power to the machining tool, it is possible to protect various electronic devices inside the control panel by measuring and adjusting the atmosphere inside the control panel even when the machining tool power supply is not turned on.
INHALATION DEVICES WITH DOSAGE METERING AND COMPATIBLE WITH STANDARD CONNECTION SYSTEMS
An inhalation device for inhaling a vaporized substance that includes metering capabilities to inform a user when a particular amount of substance has been consumed is provided with a connector structure compatible with standard battery units, such as 510 or 710 thread connections, so that a user can obtain an economical dosage-controlled device by, e.g., simply swapping out the vaporization cartridge of a standard vape. The inhalation device includes a timer to control the amount of time of heater activation to permit dosage control during use of the inhalation device, or a timer can be used in combination with other dosage measuring techniques.
Motor control system, motor control apparatus, method for controlling motor, and state estimator
A motor control system includes a motor control apparatus, a motor, an environment state detector, and an operation state monitor. The motor control apparatus is configured to control feeding of driving power based on a control command. The motor is drivable by the driving power. The environment state detector is configured to detect environment state data of at least one of the motor control apparatus and the motor. The operation state monitor is configured to output, based on the environment state data, an operation margin of an operation state value of the at least one of the motor control apparatus and the motor relative to an operation rated value of the at least one of the motor control apparatus and the motor.
SECURE PLANT CULTIVATION CHAMBER AND FACILITY
A secure plant cultivation facility in which each growth cultivation chamber and drying chamber contained therein are assigned with a unique address or identifier so as to facilitate the production, packaging, storage and tracking of each batch or lot of controlled substance associated to a given client or person and/or strain of controlled substance.
Failure detection device for spindle head of machine tool including a plurality of sensors
A failure detection device includes a formaldehyde sensor that detects the generation of formaldehyde, a vibration sensor that detects vibration of a spindle head, and a machine controller that detects the occurrence of an abnormality of a spindle bearing. The machine controller determines the occurrence of the abnormality of the spindle bearing and a cause of the abnormality based on a change in the output value of the formaldehyde sensor over time and a change in the output value of the vibration sensor over time.
ENHANCED CARGO TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
A vehicle includes a body, a removable cab, a cargo movement subsystem, and a computing device. The removable cab is attachable to the body. The computing device includes a processor and a memory. The computing device is programmed to actuate at least one vehicle subsystem to move the vehicle to deliver cargo stored in the cab and the cargo movement subsystem move the cargo. The cargo movement subsystem is arranged to move the cargo from the cab to a position accessible from an exterior of the vehicle.
