  • Publication number: 20170247238
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a hydraulic circuit for a forklift, and more particularly, to a hydraulic circuit for a forklift which is capable of preventing an engine from being stopped due to surge pressure that instantaneously occurs when a lift cylinder reaches an end stroke and thus cannot be operated any further when the lift cylinder is extended. According to the hydraulic circuit for a forklift according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, which is configured as described above, the accumulator is provided on the hydraulic line through which the working fluid is provided to the lift cylinder, and as a result, the accumulator may quickly absorb surge pressure when the surge pressure is produced in the lift cylinder or the hydraulic line.

  • Patent number: 7339613
    Abstract: A method of controlling a digital camera includes performing photographing of an object, determining whether the amount of exposure is appropriate and shakiness is present, and notifying a user of such information if the amount of exposure is not appropriate or shakiness is present. The determination step includes reading a focus value of the object, reading a lower limit value of a compressed file size set to correspond to the read focus value of the object at a compression rate and a resolution set by the user, and determining that the amount of exposure is not appropriate and shakiness is present if the size of a present compressed file of image data obtained from the photographing is smaller than the lower limit value of the compressed file size.

  • Patent number: 7268817
    Abstract: A method of automatically focusing a camera determines a position of a focus lens where an amount of a high frequency in an image signal is a maximum. The amount of a high frequency included in an image signal is measured at intervals of multiple focus motor steps. Three of the measured positions (x1, x2, x3) and their corresponding measured high frequency amounts (y1, y2, y3) are identified, where y2 is the largest of the measured high frequency amounts, and x1 and x3 are the nearest measured positions on either side of x2. A quadratic function f(x) is determined for the high frequency amount with respect to the focus lens position x. A position at which a derivative ? f ? ( x ) ? x of the quadratic function f(x) is zero, is determined to be the position corresponding to maximum high frequency amount. Thus, the driving time of the focus motor can be reduced.
