A technique enables control parameter adjustment with a more accurate estimated inertia ratio for multiple servomotors. An adjustment support apparatus (9) supports adjustment of inertia ratios as control parameters for servo drivers (5, 6) that drive multiple servomotors. The adjustment support apparatus (9) includes an inertia ratio obtainer (91) that obtains inertia ratios estimated by inertia ratio estimators (52, 62) included in the servo drivers (5, 6) and an inertia ratio setting control unit (92) that synchronizes inertia ratio settings and updates between the servo drivers (5, 6).

A model management system, a model management method, and a model management program that efficiently manage models applied to a substrate manufacturing process is provided. The model management system separately manages the models applied to the substrate manufacturing process in three or more layers, and includes a first management unit configured to manage a model at a predetermined layer, and one or more second management units configured to manage one or more models at a layer one level lower than the predetermined layer. The first management unit includes a calculating unit configured to, when one or more model parameters of the one or more models managed by the one or more second management units are updated, calculate a new model parameter based on each of the updated one or more model parameters, and a control unit configured to perform control so that the new model parameter is set in a plurality of models respectively managed by a plurality of management units at a lowest layer, belonging to the first management unit.

A method that includes obtaining a sensor reading from a sensor installed inside an underground vault and determining whether the sensor reading is indicative of an alarm state. When the sensor reading is indicative of the alarm state, the method obtains at least one new reading and determines whether the sensor reading includes sensor drift based at least in part on the at least one new reading. The alarm state is established when the sensor reading is determined not to include sensor drift. The sensor drift is removed when the sensor reading is determined to include sensor drift.

Pellet grills and associated methods of operation are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes a main body defining a cooking chamber. The example pellet grill further includes a burn pot located within the main body. The burn pot includes an upper end, a lower end located opposite the upper end, and a sidewall extending between the upper end and the lower end. The sidewall has an opening. The example pellet grill further includes an ignitor extending into the burn pot through the opening of the sidewall. The example pellet grill further includes an ignitor carrier removably coupled to the ignitor. The ignitor carrier extends away from the burn pot and is accessible from outside the main body.

Pellet grills and associated methods of operation are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes a burn pot including an upper end having a first opening, a lower end located opposite the upper end and having a second opening, and a sidewall extending between the upper and lower ends. The example pellet grill further includes a fuel grate positioned within the burn pot between the upper and lower ends. The fuel grate is configured to support pellet fuel within the burn pot. The fuel grate includes a plurality of ash openings dimensioned to enable ash produced from combustion of the pellet fuel to pass downwardly through the fuel grate toward the second opening.

Pellet grills and associated methods of operation are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes a main body defining a cooking chamber. The main body includes a first end, a second end located opposite the first end, and an outer wall extending between the first and second ends. The main body has a lateral extent defined by the first and second ends. The example pellet grill further includes a hopper mounted to a rear portion of the outer wall of the main body. The hopper includes a fuel intake opening extending from a first location within the lateral extent of the main body to a second location outside of the lateral extent of the main body.

An abnormality determination device includes an input unit to which a device-condition signal output from an operating device is input, a first memory configured to store a determination algorithm for determining a predetermined abnormality of the operating device, an abnormality determination unit configured to determine the predetermined abnormality of the operating device in accordance with the device-condition signal and the determination algorithm, an output unit configured to output a determination result regarding the predetermined abnormality made by the abnormality determination unit to a user, an operation unit configured to receive an input of true-or-false information of whether the determination result is correct from the user, and an update unit configured to update the determination algorithm in accordance with the true-or-false information.

A method, system, and computer program product, include recording high-frequency wave data of local arid adjacent fault curves of a power grid to compare the high-frequency wave data with historical fault data to detect an actual fault region in the power grid, the power grid having a plurality of sensors distributed in the power grid, each sensor being upstream of one adjacent sensor and downstream of an other adjacent sensor.

Pellet grills and associated methods of operation are disclosed. An example pellet grill includes a main body defining a cooking chamber. The main body includes a first opening extending through a bottom portion of an outer wall of the main body. The main body further including a grease channel formed along the bottom portion of the outer wall and extending to the first opening. The example pellet grill further includes a burn pot located within the main body. The burn pot includes a lower end having a second opening aligned with the first opening. The second opening is configured to enable pellet fuel ash to pass downwardly from the burn pot onto an ash slide positioned below the second opening. The example pellet grill further includes a waste collection drawer located below the main body. The waste collection drawer is movable relative to the main body between a closed position and an open position. The waste collection drawer includes a grease bin positioned below the first opening and configured to receive grease from the grease channel when the waste collection drawer is in the closed position. The waste collection drawer further includes an ash compartment positioned below the ash slide and configured to receive pellet fuel ash from the burn pot, via the ash slide, when the waste collection drawer is in the closed position.
