  • Patent number: 11926031
    Abstract: An electric work machine includes a motor, a manipulator, a first switch, a second switch, and a control circuit. The manipulator is on-operated or off-operated by a user of the electric work machine. Each of the first switch and the second switch is turned on or off in response to the manipulator being on-operated or off-operated. The control circuit executes a motor control process in accordance with a computer program. The control circuit receives first switch information from the first switch, and receives second switch information from the second switch. The motor control process outputs a drive command for driving the motor in response to the first switch information and the second switch information indicating that the manipulator is on-operated.

  • Patent number: 8251128
    Abstract: Provided is a method of continuously producing a phosphorus-containing copper alloy wire by adding phosphorus or an element which is less soluble than phosphorus to molten copper. The method includes: adding an element less soluble into a heating furnace for maintaining molten copper sent from a melting furnace at a predetermined high temperature; transferring the molten copper sent from the heating furnace to a tundish; adding phosphorus to the molten copper after decreasing the temperature of the molten copper in the tundish; supplying the molten copper from the tundish to a belt wheel-type continuous casting apparatus; and rolling a cast copper material output from the belt wheel-type continuous casting apparatus, thereby continuously producing a phosphorus-containing copper alloy wire.
