  • Patent number: 11965315
    Abstract: The invention of the present application intends to provide a work machine that can ensure high operability by preventing abrupt actuation of an actuator and a shock to a machine body by use of a bleed-off function at the time of starting of the actuator and that can improve the energy-saving performance by reducing a bleed-off flow rate after the starting of the actuator. For this purpose, a controller opens a bleed-off valve at a timing at which an operation device is being operated and before a flow rate of a hydraulic pump starts increasing, and closes the bleed-off valve at a timing at which the operation device is being operated and after the flow rate of the hydraulic pump has started increasing.

  • Patent number: 11940769
    Abstract: A method for editing a machining program includes obtaining tool information specifying a tool mountable on a machine tool. A program editing window and at least one assistance window are displayed. The program editing window shows a program code of the machining program to control the machine tool. Each of the assistance window selectively shows the tool information and a control method. The tool is to be controlled according to the control method. In the program code, an insertion position at which a new code is to be inserted into the program code is specified. Selected information is selected from the tool information when the tool information is shown in the at least one assistance window. A command corresponding to the selected information is inserted into the program code at the insertion position.

  • Patent number: 11929173
    Abstract: The server is a learning apparatus including a data acquisition unit and a learning unit. The data acquisition unit acquires profile data and a selected assistance level as learning data. The profile data indicates a profile related to a trainee before executing rehabilitation regarding rehabilitation executed using a walking training apparatus as a rehabilitation support system. The selected assistance level is an assistance level selected at the time of executing the rehabilitation. The learning unit learns to determine a recommended assistance level recommended to be selected when the trainee uses the rehabilitation support system based on the learning data. Further, the learning unit generates a trained model that receives the profile data and outputs the recommended assistance level based on the learning.
