  • Patent number: 12240581
    Abstract: A user interface apparatus for controlling a marine vessel. The apparatus includes concentric positioned mechanical stick, block and ring for setting a control parameter, electric motors, and electric visual elements. The apparatus also includes one or more processors configured to operate the user interface apparatus in a plurality of operation modes, each operation mode with a distinct configuration, retrieve distinct settings for the tactile feedback and/or the visual feedback, and control the tactile feedback given by the one or more electric motors and/or the visual feedback given by the one or more electric visual elements based on the retrieved distinct settings during setting a selected control parameter mapped to the mechanical stick, block or ring.

  • Patent number: 12235647
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of intelligent warehousing, and discloses a navigation method, a moving carrier, and a navigation system. The navigation method is applied to the moving carrier capable of traveling in a preset space including a roadway formed by at least two rows of shelving units opposite to each other. The navigation method includes: acquiring deviated position information of the moving carrier in a non-traveling direction relative to the shelving units in the roadway, and navigating the moving carrier according to the deviated position information. The moving carrier is prevented from hitting the shelving units, and, besides, can be reliably navigated in the roadway.

  • Patent number: 12227084
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a traveling motor, a traveling battery that drives at least one wheel, a low-voltage electric component, at least one processor, and a storage medium. The traveling battery includes battery modules each including battery cells and supplies electric power to the traveling motor. The low-voltage electric component operates at a voltage lower than an output voltage of the traveling battery. The storage medium stores a program to be executed by the processor. The program includes at least one command that causes the processor to perform a state-of-health (SOH) calculation process of calculating the SOH of the battery modules, and a selection process of selecting a low-voltage power feeder module from the battery modules based on the SOH calculated in the SOH calculation process. The low-voltage power feeder module corresponds to one of the battery modules to be used to supply electric power to the low-voltage electric component.

  • Patent number: 12187165
    Abstract: A seat control device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to, based on a selection by an occupant of a vehicle, select a video display area for displaying a video from among a plurality of video display areas provided at the vehicle, determine an adjustment amount corresponding to the determined video display area for a vehicle seat provided in the vehicle, and, via a modulation section, modulate a position and posture of the vehicle seat based on the determined adjustment amount of the vehicle seat.
