  • Patent number: 10384915
    Abstract: A slewing apparatus includes a control section that performs at least a slewing angular velocity pattern determination process. In the slewing angular velocity pattern determination process, the slewing angular velocity pattern is determined such that in a first interval and a second interval of a control time T that is shorter than a cycle determined by a pendulum length of a suspended load that is in a pendulum motion, a difference between a maximum angular velocity and a minimum angular velocity increases as the control time T decreases.

  • Publication number: 20120140114
    Abstract: A housing structure comprises a housing and a built-in member. The housing includes a first cover having a first inner surface and a second cover having a second inner surface. The first cover abuts the second cover and defines a gap through which the first inner surface is configured to communicate with the second inner surface. The built-in member is formed in the housing and includes an opposing surface and a reflecting component. The opposing surface is disposed opposite to the first inner surface and the second inner surface, and the reflecting component includes an inclined surface that faces the gap. The inclined face is disposed at an angle relative to the opposing surface.
