    Abstract: Reduced workload on a user can be achieved when a sensing-related teaching program is to be generated. A method for generating a teaching program that defines sensing operation includes a setting step for setting a sensing position at a surface of a workpiece, and a generating step for generating a teaching program of the sensing operation based on the sensing position set in the setting step. The sensing position is set within a range in which a maximum permissible amount for an error of the workpiece and a permissible range preliminarily defined with respect to a direction of the error are included in the surface.

    Abstract: A microchannel heat exchanger is a heat exchanger for cooling hydrogen gas with a cooling medium, and includes a cooling side layer formed with a plurality of medium flow paths for flowing the cooling medium, and a high temperature side layer formed with a plurality of hydrogen flow paths for flowing the hydrogen gas and a first introduction port for flowing the hydrogen gas into the plurality of hydrogen flow paths. The first introduction port has a circular shape or an elliptical shape. An inflow end of each of the plurality of hydrogen flow paths is connected to a peripheral surface of the first introduction port. The hydrogen flow path extends from the first introduction port to the first lead out port without branching.

    Abstract: A method for producing pig iron may use a blast furnace with a tuyere. Such a method may include: charging a first layer containing an iron ore material and a second layer containing coke alternately in the blast furnace; and reducing and melting the iron ore material in the charged first layer while injecting an auxiliary reductant into the blast furnace by hot air blown from the tuyere. An aggregate containing a reduced iron molded product obtained through compression molding of reduced iron may be blended into the first layer. The iron ore material may contain iron ore pellets as a principal material. An average basicity of the reduced iron molded product may be less than or equal to 0.5, and an average basicity of the iron ore pellets may be greater than or equal to 0.9.
