Abstract: A bidirectional chopper selectively performs: a charging operation to store DC power received from a DC bus in a power storage device; and a discharging operation to output DC power of the power storage device to the DC bus. An inverter converts the DC power received from the DC bus into AC power and supplies the AC power to a load, and converts regenerative power generated by the load into DC power and outputs the DC power to the DC bus. An SOC reference value is set for the power storage device, the SOC reference value being smaller than an upper limit value of a usable range of the SOC and larger than a lower limit value of the usable range. When an AC power supply is sound, a control device controls the bidirectional chopper such that the SOC of the power storage device reaches the SOC reference value.

Abstract: A camera captures an image of a region including at least a portion of an operating member and generates image data indicative of the image. A controller acquires the image data from the camera. The controller determines whether an operation of the operating member by an operator is an intentional operation or an unintentional operation based on the image. When the operation of the operating member by the operator is determined to be the intentional operation, the controller controls a work machine according to the operation of the operating member. When the operation of the operating member by the operator is determined to be the unintentional operation, the controller invalidates the operation of the operating member.

Abstract: To reduce data amount while ensuring tactile reproducibility of a two-dimensional tactile signal, and improve the efficiency of a system related to tactile reproduction. Coding is performed to compress information amount by orthogonally transforming a two-dimensional tactile signal based on a time signal. By orthogonally transforming a two-dimensional tactile signal based on a time signal, it is possible to compress information amount by removing frequency components that are difficult for humans to perceive, as in the case of an image signal, for example. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce data amount while ensuring tactile reproducibility of a two-dimensional tactile signal, and improve the efficiency of a system related to tactile reproduction.
