  • Patent number: 9821618
    Abstract: A suspension system for a traveling vehicle body is disclosed. The system includes a suspension reference position varying mechanism (18) for varying a reference position of a suspension stroke of the suspension mechanism (100), and a controller (35) configured to calculate an intermediate value from a maximal value corresponding to the maximal position of the suspension stroke and a minimal value corresponding to the minimal position of the suspension stroke, and to control the suspension reference position varying mechanism such that, when the calculated intermediate values deviates from a set target range, the intermediate value is displaced toward the target range. The controller (35) increases a control execution frequency for the suspension reference position varying mechanism (18) when the traveling speed of the vehicle body is low, and reduces the control execution frequency for the suspension reference position varying mechanism (18) when the traveling speed of the vehicle body is high.

  • Patent number: 8774283
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus and method for reducing an unnecessary waiting time in a depacketizing process and enabling processing to be easily performed at high speeds applicable to, for example, an encoding apparatus. An analysis unit compares input image data with image data of one previous picture read out from a storage unit. On the basis of the analysis result, a concealment header generation unit generates a concealment header that is referred to by a receiving apparatus at the time of an error concealment process. On the basis of the concealment header, a loss analysis unit performs error concealment for the occurrence of a transmission error by suitably using encoded data stored in a storage unit.

  • Patent number: 8762001
    Abstract: A tractor is provided for suppressing pitching in which a front part of a traveling vehicle body is lifted upward, while a suspension mechanism functions when work is carried out with a ground implement. When a raise control signal for raising the plow is detected in draft control for elevating/lowering the plow based on a draw load value detected by a draw load sensor, mode switching means suppresses or limits the suspension function, via control of the suspension control means to suppress an event in which the front part of the traveling vehicle body is lifted upward. When the raise control signal is not detected, the mode switching means causes the suspension mechanism to function via control of the suspension control means.

  • Patent number: 8608605
    Abstract: A transmission apparatus for a tractor is operable to transmit a forward drive force in a wide speed changing range to the traveling device and which is operable also to transmit a reverse drive force to the traveling device. A planetary transmission section is configured to output the forward drive force in whichever case a hydrostatic stepless speed changing section is speed-changed to a forward rotation speed change state or a reverse rotation speed change state. A low speed transmission clutch couples a low speed side speed changing gear to a counter shaft to be rotatable therewith. A high speed transmission clutch couples a high speed side speed changing gear to the counter shaft to be rotatable therewith. A reverse transmission clutch couples a reverse transmission gear to an output shaft to be rotatable therewith.

  • Patent number: 8375706
    Abstract: A technique is provided which is capable of completing SOx poisoning recovery control on a NOx storage reduction catalyst in a shorter period of time. In the course of the SOx poisoning recovery control, the degree of decrease of a SOx release speed resulting from a decrease in an amount of SOx occlusion of the NOx catalyst (the degree of decrease of the SOx release speed (Ddw)) with respect to that at the time of start of the SOx poisoning recovery control is estimated. In accordance with the increasing degree of decrease of the SOx release speed (Ddw), a catalyst bed temperature (Tc) is caused to rise up to a higher side target temperature (Tct), and at the same time an exhaust gas air fuel ratio (A/F) is caused to lower up to a richer side target air fuel ratio (A/Ft), whereby the SOx release speed Vsox during the SOx poisoning recovery control is suppressed from lowering.
