  • Publication number: 20240153390
    Abstract: A flight management system for a plurality of aerial vehicles includes a management apparatus and an operation terminal. The management apparatus includes processing circuitry to manage operation authorizations to operate the plurality of aerial vehicles. The operation terminal includes an operation interface and processing circuitry. The operation interface is operable by an operator. The processing circuit is connected to the operation interface. Based on an authorization grant request signal obtained based on a flight state of each aerial vehicle of the plurality of aerial vehicles, the processing circuit of the management apparatus transmits an authorization grant command to grant the operation terminal an operation authorization, among the operation authorizations, that is to operate a particular aerial vehicle among the plurality of aerial vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20060254601
    Abstract: A producing sequence is constituted by a plurality of tasks. To manage production, a task difficulty level of a task within the producing sequence is evaluated. INPUT, PROCESS and OUTPUT skill categories are determined by categorizing a skill required for human resource in charge of the task according to cognitive science. The INPUT skill category is related to cognition of outer field information or acquisition of cognitive information. The PROCESS skill category is related to thinking or decision. The OUTPUT skill category is related to behavior or action. The task is evaluated with the INPUT, PROCESS and OUTPUT skill categories, to obtain respectively difficulty ranks. The task difficulty level is determined by processing the difficulty ranks in combination according to overall processing. Also, a risk diagnosis is provided, in which an error influence level of a predictable error of a task within a producing sequence is assessed.

  • Patent number: 7114933
    Abstract: A potter's wheel for working clay and other pottery material on a turntable driven by a DC brushless motor. In order that driving speed is not affected by the load due to user's access to the work of clay, the speed of the motor detected by a speed detector is fed back to a speed control signal generator and a motor driving control signal is generated as a function of the difference between the detected motor speed and a directed speed inputted through a speed setter in response to the operation to a manipulation member. Then, a motor control generates such a motor driving signal as to make the motor driving control signal zero, with the motor driving signal being fed to the motor, thereby controlling the rotational speed of the turntable to be a directed value regardless of the load applied to the turntable via the work.
