  • Publication number: 20140019042
    Abstract: To advance a dump truck quickly and smoothly to a position where target loading work will be performed relative to an excavating machine, the dump truck is placed in loading target position relative to the excavating machine. Geographic position is detected from GPS satellites of a GPS receiver of the dump truck. The position and direction of the geographic position is transmitted to the excavating machine as a target position image. The target position image and an approach route leading to the position are displayed on a dump truck display when the truck thereafter approaches the position. The dump truck thereafter approaches the position, and the truck is driven so that a current position image advances along the approach route to the target position image, whereby the dump truck is placed in the set loading image target position.

  • Patent number: 8612562
    Abstract: A network system in which a proxy web service process performed by a device on behalf of a network device can be continued while maintaining a reduced power consumption state of the network device, without requiring these devices to be installed on the same subnet. When in a sleep state, the network device redirects a web service request received from a PC to an external device. The external device sends a web service response to the web service request in which addresses of the external device are designated as a reference destination of data contained in the web service response, to the network device. The network device sends the web service response to the network terminal.

  • Publication number: 20090182811
    Abstract: A data sharing system which is capable of preventing duplicated data which does not match original data stored in an original node from being spread across the network. An original node stores original data. A first duplicating node acquires duplicated data of the original data from the original node, and sends the duplicated data to a second duplicating node. The original node receives a request for confirmation of the duplicated data received from the first duplicating node, from the second duplicating node, compares the duplicated data received by the second duplicating node and the original data with each other, in response to the request, and transmits a request for deletion of the duplicated data, to the second duplicating node, depending on a result of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 6965459
    Abstract: Remote data entry is performed in such a manner that a plurality of entry items and a plurality of data items are caused to collectively enter within one communication and the check sum is calculated simultaneously with the data entry so that abnormality of the data is easily detected even if the contents of the entry data are changed due to the abnormality occurring in a facsimile apparatus. Data is collectively stored in a receiving buffer and a great quantity of data is caused to remote enter if the capacity of the buffer permits. After all remote data entries have been completed, the check sums of all entry memory regions are performed so that the memory capacity of the program code of the check sum is saved.

  • Patent number: 6732458
    Abstract: An automatically operated shovel, which includes a power shovel and an automatic operation controller 50 for making the power shovel reproduce a series of taught operations ranging from digging to dumping, is characterized in that the automatic operation controller is provided with a positioning determinator for determining whether or not the power shovel has reached within a taught position range predetermined based on corresponding one of positioning accuracies set for individual taught positions of said power shovel, and, when the power shovel is determined to have reached within the predetermined taught position range, the automatic operation controller outputs a next taught position as a target position.

  • Patent number: 6563607
    Abstract: In case of reading an original of plural pages and collectively transmitting the successive short length pages as one page, the number of transmitted pages recorded on a transmission record list becomes different from the number of read pages, so that it is difficult for a user to judge, from such list, whether all the pages have been transmitted. In case the number of actually transmitted pages is different from the number of read or received pages stored in the second RAM, the user can select in advance, by a key depression on a keyboard, whether to record both the number of actually transmitted pages and the number of read or received pages stored in the second RAM or to record either one of the numbers, as the number of pages to be recorded on the transmission result list.
