  • Patent number: 11970378
    Abstract: Systems for inspecting a warehouse are disclosed. A system includes a laser scanner attachable to an industrial truck and adapted to scan in a plane substantially perpendicular to the industrial truck's main direction of travel to scan an environment of a warehouse on at least one side of the industrial truck and to generate scan data. The system includes a computing unit adapted to receive the scan data and data on the absolute position and/or relative position change of the industrial truck, or data from which one or more of these variables can be derived. The computing unit is further adapted to construct three-dimensional data of the environment on the basis of the scan data and data on the absolute position and/or relative position change of the industrial truck.

  • Patent number: 11965498
    Abstract: A method for operating a pressure control system having a multistage compressor includes outputting, by the multistage compressor in order to fill a pressure medium store or pressure medium chambers of the pressure control system, a pressure medium compressed multiple times. Outputting the pressure medium compressed multiple times includes providing, by a first compression stage, a precompressed pressure medium and further compressing, by a second compression stage, the precompressed pressure medium to form a compressed pressure medium and then outputting the compressed pressure medium. Alternatively, outputting the pressure medium compressed multiple times includes providing a compression pressure medium, which is obtained from additional compression of an already compressed charge pressure medium from the pressure medium reservoir or the pressure medium chambers of the pressure control system, wherein the compression pressure medium is output without additional compression by the second compression stage.

  • Patent number: 11964668
    Abstract: A travel control method for a vehicle for executing autonomous travel control includes, prior to executing the autonomous travel control, presenting a driver with travel control information as to whether or not to accept execution of the autonomous travel control and detecting, in response to a presentation of the travel control information, an acceptance input made by the driver indicating that the driver accepts the execution of the autonomous travel control. The travel control method also includes: setting an input form of a present acceptance input by the driver to an input form different from an input form of a previous acceptance input.

  • Patent number: 11967889
    Abstract: A bootstrap circuit unit of a DC-DC converter applies, to a drive unit, a voltage that is higher than that at a first connection point between switching elements in a first conversion operation, and applies, to the drive unit, a voltage that is higher than that at a second connection point between switching elements in a second conversion operation. A charge-pump circuit unit steps up an input voltage and applies the resulting voltage to the drive unit. The drive unit sets the voltage of a first drive signal and a second drive signal according to a voltage applied by the bootstrap circuit unit or a voltage applied by the charge-pump circuit unit. The charge-pump circuit unit determines the operation timing at which the charge-pump circuit unit is to apply the output voltage, based on the first and second voltage, and the first and second power supply unit charging signals.

  • Patent number: 11963897
    Abstract: An articulated Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO) with an upper boot member and a lower boot member hinged to one another is made more flexible and effective by having a dorsi-flexion control member attached thereto. The dorsi-flexion control member has a main body with upper portion which is attachable to a predetermined position on the upper boot member, and a lower portion which is attachable to a lower boot member. The main body is fabricated from a material having a predetermined set of elasticity characteristics, which will limit dorsi-flexion movement in a predetermined manner, depending on the material used and the specific configuration. In this manner, the elasticity characteristics of the control member can provide both dynamic and static dorsi-flexion control.

  • Patent number: 11967839
    Abstract: An electromagnetic connector is disclosed that is configured to form a first magnetic circuit portion comprising multiple coils disposed about a first core member. The electromagnetic connector is configured to mate with a second electromagnetic connector that is configured to form a second magnetic circuit portion comprising a coil disposed about a second core member. When the electromagnetic connector is mated with the second electromagnetic connector, the first core member and the second core member are configured to couple the multiple coils of the electromagnetic connector to the coil of the second electromagnetic connector with a magnetic circuit formed from the first magnetic circuit portion and the second magnetic circuit portion. The magnetic circuit is configured to induce a signal in a first coil of the multiple coils and the coil of the second electromagnetic connector when a second coil of the multiple coils is energized.
