  • Patent number: 7353193
    Abstract: A fuel delivery system of a machine capable of efficiently feeding fuel, where a time of feeding fuel to a construction machine is estimated based on operation information of the construction machine. Based on position information of the construction machine acquired by position information acquiring means and estimated time of feeding fuel, a delivery schedule, which has a short moving distance and capable of delivering and feeding fuel efficiently in a short period of time, is formed. The delivery schedule is notified to a controller of the construction machine. The delivery schedule is reconstructed by a set input of a change in the delivery schedule from the controller. A specified form for requesting expense of feeding fuel is automatically formed from a fuel feeding amount after fuel has been delivered and fed by the formed delivery schedule and confirming to feed fuel.

  • Patent number: 7340420
    Abstract: A system provides assistance in the delivery of industrial wastes from industrial waste-generating sites to one or more industrial waste treatment sites based on exchanged information on industrial wastes containing metal oxide. The system includes a server, terminals at the industrial waste-generating sites, and terminals at the industrial waste treatment sites. Each terminal at the industrial waste-generating site transmits the information on industrial wastes to the server. The server stores the transmitted formation into an information storage unit. The server receives the search conditions from one of the industrial waste treatment sites who require industrial wastes, search the information storage unit, and transmits the search result to the terminal at the corresponding industrial waste treatment site. The terminal at the industrial waste treatment site displays the search result.
