  • Publication number: 20250091806
    Abstract: A first acquisition processing unit acquires tag status information including information indicating whether a transport target is present at a position corresponding to a tag and information indicating whether an automatic traveling device is present at the position corresponding to the tag. A second acquisition processing unit acquires AGV status information indicating whether the automatic traveling device is transporting the transport target. A determination processing unit determines whether the automatic traveling device is capable of traveling through the position corresponding to the tag on the basis of the tag status information and the AGV status information. A generation processing unit generates a travel route of the automatic traveling device on the basis of a determination result of the determination processing unit.

  • Publication number: 20080274248
    Abstract: Hot water is pumped by a suction pump and introduced into a carbon dioxide (CO2) gas dissolver through solution flow rate adjusting means and then poured into a bath. The CO2 is introduced into the CO2 gas dissolver through gas flow rate adjusting means, and the quantity of bubbles in an artificial carbonated spring in a take-out pipe is measured. The solution and gas flow rate adjusting means are controlled via a control device using a relationship expression between a preliminarily set quantity of bubbles and carbon dioxide concentration to obtain a desired concentration of carbon dioxide gas in the carbonated spring. Since the carbon dioxide gas flow control means is provided between the carbon dioxide gas dissolver and a carbon dioxide gas supply source, a high concentration carbonated spring can always be manufactured, even if the pressure of supplied carbon dioxide gas changes or membrane permeation changes.

  • Patent number: 7365462
    Abstract: An alternator is composed of a frame, a rotor rotatably supported in the frame, a stator contained in the frame outside the rotor and other associated components. A front end of the alternator is directly mounted on a mounting surface of an engine having a fairly large size, and a front end of a rotor shaft is directly connected to an engine shaft. The frame includes inlet windows for introducing cooling air into the alternator and outlet windows for exhausting the cooling air after cooling a stator coil and other components in the alternator. The inlet and outlet windows are positioned so that cool air is always introduced into the alternator, preventing hot air once exhausted from the alternator from staying between an engine bracket and the inlet windows and being sucked again into the alternator. Further, the outlet windows are positioned at a radial outside of a front coil end of a stator winding, so that the front coil end is fully exposed to the cooling air.

  • Patent number: 7282825
    Abstract: A rectifier for an automotive alternator includes a heat sink that has a plurality of rectifying elements mounted thereto to dissipate heat generated by operation of the rectifying elements. The heat sink is configured to be connected with an electrical terminal through an engagement between a male threaded member, which has a male threaded portion and a head portion, and a female threaded member. The heat sink has a recessed portion to accommodate one of the head portion of the male threaded member and the female threaded member. The recessed portion is so shaped to keep the one of the head portion of the male threaded member and the female threaded member from rotating. The heat sink also has a through-bore that communicates with the recessed portion so as to allow the male threaded portion of the male threaded member to extend therethrough to engage with the female threaded member.

  • Publication number: 20070029885
    Abstract: A front frame for an alternator mounted on a motor bicycle has a cooling air outlet window formed at an outer peripheral side of a stator coil wound on a stator and a cooling air inlet window formed at a front side of the alternator, namely, at an engine block side along an axis direction separated from a cooling fan. An outlet section of a cooling air duct is placed at a position near the cooling air inlet window. This configuration of the cooling system enhances its cooling capability of forcedly blowing the cooling air to the inside of the alternator, and prevents adhesion and accumulation of mud and sand to the cooling air inlet window, splashed to the cooling air inlet window while the motor bicycle is driving on a mud road.
