Abstract:
Disclosed is a wireless communications device with strong realtime performance, giving rise to no latency in communications even if communications errors arise in the communication frame MAC header. MAC header information is used to determine whether or not the destination address of a received data frame is the address of a concerned wireless communications device (1). MAC header information allocated among a plurality of MAC headers is employed in selecting MAC header information without errors. If all MAC header information is in error, a majority determination processing unit (13) is used to effect a majority determination of the MAC header information and generate correct MAC header information. A received data extraction unit (14) removes the received frame header, etc., extracts the received data, and outputs same to an external device.
Abstract:
In order to stably control a nuclear reactor in a short time, so as not to enter an unstable region that is determined by the relationship between the reactor pressure, the reactor power and the subcooling of the core inlet coolant at start-up time, the nuclear reactor system comprises: an power control apparatus for generating a control rod operation signal for operating a control rod, based on the reactor water temperature change rate; a feed water control apparatus for generating a feed water flow rate signal and a discharge water flow rate signals based on the reactor water level signal; and a process computer for performing overall control of the power control apparatus and the feed water control apparatus, wherein the feed water control apparatus has the reactor water temperature change rate setting section for adjusting the reactor water temperature change rate set value based on the variation of the reactor water level signal.
Abstract:
In an apparatus for operating and monitoring a plant, a manipulating device provides the plant with manipulation signals for operating the plant. In response to information supplied from the plant and a manipulating signal of the manipulating device, a first display data producing device produces first display data needed for the operation of the plant changing every moment. On the basis of data supplied from the first display data producing device, a first display device displays information relating to the operation of the plant. In response to information supplied from the plant and a manipulating signal of the manipulating device, a second display data producing device produces data needed for monitoring the plant. On the basis of data supplied from the second display data producing device, a second display device displays information relating to the monitoring of the plant on a larger display screen than that of the first display device. Information displayed by the first display device and information displayed by the second display device complement each other and make it possible to accurately operate and monitor the plant.
Abstract:
A pointer remotely points a display screen of a large screen display device. The display screen is picked up by a monitor camera. An image processing unit extracts a feature of the pointer used for pointing based on the resulting image signal to identify the position of the pointing point and the pointer based on the feature. A computer generates information on an object to be displayed at a position pointed by the pointer. The generated information is displayed on a display device (CRT display device or large screen display device) assigned to the pointer. Even when a plurality of pointers are used, the information on the object to be displayed pointed by the pointer is properly displayed.
Abstract:
Each character string information obtained based on each information inputted by the CRT touch input device and the speech input device respectively is integrated by the input control unit and the memory. The input information analyzing unit analyses the integrated character string information. The output information generating unit generates presentation information corresponding to the demand information obtained by the analysis and outputs this presentation information to the display device. Since the input information from each input device is converted into character string information and it is integrated together and is then analyzed, input information is not restricted by each input device and each input device can be used in a free combination when information is inputted.

Abstract:
A nuclear reactor is supplied with feed water through a feed water pump system. A primary steam flow produced from the reactor is controlled by regulating a recirculated flow of feed water. The feed water pump system comprises two main pumps each of 55%-capacity and two auxiliary pumps each of 27.5%-capacity. Normally, the two main pumps are operated. Upon occurrence of abnormal condition of at least one main pump, the auxiliary pumps are started to supply feed water. At that time, the recirculated flow is controlled for a predetermined time to a reduced rate which is smaller as compared with that of the primary steam flow decreased rapidly due to the shutdown of the main pump. Subsequently, the recirculated flow is so controlled that the primary steam flow rate is slightly smaller as compared with the feed water flow which is determined by the available capacity of the pumps.
Abstract:
Command words with address signals are transmitted periodically from a control room to field solenoid valves which are each provided with a single actuation circuit. The solenoid valves that are to be actuated in the field each correspond to the address of the transmitted command words which energize the coil of the corresponding solenoid valve. The actuation circuit inserts an address signal for that particular circuit with regard to current information flowing in the energized coil and sends it back to the control room as an acknowledge word. The control room previously predicts acknowledge words which will be sent back by the actuation circuits when the actuation circuits properly respond to the transmitted command words and the control room registers the predicted acknowledge words as reference words. The acknowledge word sent back by the actuation circuit is compared with the reference word and if an inconsistency exists a fault in the actuation circuit is indicated. The command words includes a control signal N to continuously energize the solenoid valve and a test signal for momentarily energizing the solenoid valve for test. These signals are transmitted from the control room alternately at predetermined intervals and the indication of the compared result of the acknowledge word and the reference word is inhibited during a predetermined time period after the alternation of the address.
