  • Patent number: 10654477
    Abstract: Provided is a feature such that the opportunity to cancel travel control can be reduced by seamlessly switching between travel modes in combination with a plurality of functions. A travel control device has: a first mode which causes a vehicle to travel according to the control target set on the basis of an object outside the vehicle; and a second mode which causes the vehicle to travel according to the control target set irrespective of an object outside the vehicle. If it is impossible to set the control target on the basis of the object outside the vehicle during traveling in the first mode, the travel mode is shifted to the second mode. If it is possible to set the control target on the basis of the object outside the vehicle during traveling in the second mode, the travel mode is shifted to the first mode.

  • Patent number: 10656265
    Abstract: A mining work machine includes an obstacle determination device connected to a periphery detection device. If measurement points detected by the periphery detection device in a current cycle are equal to or greater than predetermined size thresholds equivalent in size to the mining work machine, these measurement points are put into a single obstacle candidate group. Based on relative speeds of the obstacle candidate at the measurement points and a traveling speed of the mining work machine, it is determined whether the obstacle candidate is a stationary object or a moving object, and whether the stationary object has been also detected by the periphery detection device in a preceding cycle. If a position of detection of the stationary object detected for the first time is equal to or smaller than a non-obstacle determination distance threshold, the obstacle determination device outputs the obstacle candidate as a non-obstacle.

  • Patent number: 10657105
    Abstract: A computer system for sharing objects comprises multiple front-end nodes and a back-end node for providing a namespace shared by the front-end nodes. A first front-end node that is any one of the front-end nodes manages local-lock counts for each of objects managed by the first front-end node. The local-lock count is the number of locks taken by operations to the objects including the directory and sub-objects thereof. Every time receiving a request for processing a target object from a client, the front-end node requests the back-end node to lock a parent directory of the target object if the parent directory has not been locked by the back-end node. The front-end node sends a response of the received request to the client regardless of whether or not the parent directory has been unlocked by the back-end node. If the local-lock count of the parent directory is zero, the first front-end node requests the back-end node to unlock the parent directory.
