Patent number: 9461962Abstract: A network address management unit (210) allocates, to the first edge node, a first network address (500) on which a physical configuration of a first edge node (100a) is reflected. The network address management unit, when a second edge node (100b) is coupled to the first edge node, allocates, to the first edge node, a second network address (510) on which the physical configuration of the first edge node is reflected with respect to the second edge node. When the first edge node receives a packet that designates the first or second network address as a destination network address, the first edge node, based on the destination network address designated by the received packet, determines whether the received packet is transferred to the second edge node and discriminates a transfer destination path in the first edge node.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Katsuto Sato, Junji Yamamoto

Patent number: 9399856Abstract: A hydraulic working machine has an assist electric motor connected to an engine and a hydraulic pump. The emissions of air pollutants in the exhaust gas from the engine are minimized regardless of fluctuations in the load torque of the hydraulic pump. A specific revolution speed suitable for reducing the emissions of air pollutants is stored, and an engine is controlled using the specific revolution speed as a target revolution speed. The absorption torque of a hydraulic pump is subjected to high-pass filtering whereby a high-frequency component devoid of a trend component is obtained. Target assist torque is computed from the high-frequency component, and the assist electric motor is subjected to power running/generation control accordingly. A specific output torque range suitable for reducing the emissions of air pollutants is stored, and the target assist torque is corrected so that the trend component does not exceed the specific output torque range.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2012Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: HITACHI CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuo Fujishima, Yusuke Kajita, Mitsuo Sonoda, Masatoshi Hoshino, Akira Nakayama, Junji Yamamoto, He Bao, Seiji Ishida, Shiro Yamaoka, Takashi Okada
