  • Publication number: 20240117592
    Abstract: A posture recovery apparatus capable of automatically recovering a posture of a work machine is realized. The setting unit (11) sets a safe posture range based on a posture of the work machine before operation. The acquisition unit (12) acquires posture information on the work machine in operation. In a case where, by reference to the posture information, it has been detected that the posture of the work machine in operation has deviated from the safe posture range for a first period, the recovery unit (13) causes the work machine to carry out a recovery operation.

  • Publication number: 20230331082
    Abstract: A four-wheel-drive vehicle includes: an engine as a driving source; a right front wheel and a left front wheel as main driving wheels and a right rear wheel and a left rear wheel as sub-driving wheels that are driven by a driving force of the engine; a driving force transmission device that transmits part of the driving force of the engine to the right rear wheel and the left rear wheel; and a control device that controls the driving force transmission device. The control device is configured to, when the four-wheel-drive vehicle moves straight forward, adjust the driving force transmitted to the right rear wheel and the left rear wheel by the driving force transmission device so as to maintain a state where the magnitude of a front-rear force generated in the right front wheel and the left front wheel is greater than zero.

  • Publication number: 20220231550
    Abstract: In a motor for a vehicle, a protrusion portion is formed to protrude from a stator body of a stator. Therefore, an amount of a magnetic field emitted to a side of an occupant of a vehicle is suppressed. In addition, a reduction value of the magnetic field emitted to the side of the occupant of the vehicle is decided based on an amount of protrusion of the protrusion portion and a length of the protrusion portion in a circumferential direction of a rotation of a rotor.

  • Publication number: 20220197980
    Abstract: When the application (P) is activated (enabled, validated) by the second activation key (K2) issued by the first electronic apparatus (10), the control circuit (21) of the second electronic apparatus (20) stores the application identifier (PI), i.e., information for specifying the application (P) in the backup area (the second storage area (282)). Even if the application (P) is accidentally deleted from the second electronic apparatus (20), the application (P) can be recovered by identifying the application based on the information in the backup area.
