  • Publication number: 20230332375
    Abstract: The invention of the present application intends to provide a work machine that can improve the work performance by keeping the work state of work equipment conforming to the intention of an operator in machine control for causing the work equipment to follow an excavation target surface. For this purpose, a controller determines the work state of the work equipment on the basis of an operation input amount inputted from an operation input device and the posture of the work equipment with respect to the target surface, computes a range of an action command value of actuators in which the work state determined is kept, and corrects, within the range, the action command value of the actuators to make the distance between the work equipment and the target surface small.

  • Publication number: 20230304260
    Abstract: The invention of the present application has as its object the provision of a work machine that is equipped with a function to prevent a work device thereof from going into an entry prohibited area and can satisfy both working precision and working efficiency of the work device. A controller is therefore configured to start work range limiting control to decelerate or stop an action of a machine main body or the work device when a distance between a monitor point set beforehand on the work device and the entry prohibited area decreases to a first distance, to end the work range limiting control when the distance between the monitor point and the entry prohibited area increases to a second distance greater than the first distance, and to change the second distance according to an operation amount of an operation device.

  • Patent number: 11731626
    Abstract: Provided is an in-vehicle system in which an own vehicle does not decelerate according to a preceding vehicle even if the preceding vehicle changes lanes to the right turn lane or the left turn lane and decelerates after own vehicle entering an intersection area. A CPU 107 (first control unit) controls the own vehicle to follow the preceding vehicle. An image processing circuit 106 (detection unit) detects a lane marking of the traveling lane. The CPU 107 (determination unit) determines whether an own vehicle 201 has entered the intersection area. When the detection of one of the right and left lane markings of the traveling lane is interrupted (S20: YES) after the own vehicle 201 has entered the intersection area (S15: YES), the CPU 107 (second control unit) releases ACC that causes the own vehicle 201 to follow the preceding vehicle 202.

  • Publication number: 20230125280
    Abstract: Novel tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds are disclosed herein that may be used as an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical composition, and in particular, for a pharmaceutical composition useful for preventing or treating a disease or condition responsive to modulation of the contractility of the skeletal sarcomere. This may be accomplished, for example, by modulation of the troponin complex of the fast skeletal muscle sarcomere through one or more of fast skeletal myosin, actin, tropomyosin, troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T, and fragments and isoforms thereof. The tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds can thus be used as an agent for preventing or treating 1) neuromuscular disorders, 2) disorders of voluntary muscle, 3) CNS disorders in which muscle weakness, atrophy, and fatigue are prominent symptoms, 4) muscle symptoms stemming from systemic disorders, and 5) dysfunctions of pelvic floor and urethral/anal sphincter muscle.
