  • Patent number: 12098519
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240259825
    Abstract: Provided is a radio communication device capable of reducing interference, caused by non-SR transmission, with a basic service set (BSS) performing spatial reuse (SR) transmission. An SR transmission resource control unit (107) of the radio communication device (SR initiator) (100) determines transmission resources for an SR signal to be transmitted by means of SR to a second BSS other than a first BSS to which the radio communication device (100) belongs on the basis of radio quality information transmitted from other radio communication devices (SR responders) in the first BSS. A radio transmission/reception unit (101) transmits the SR signal by using the determined transmission resources.

  • Patent number: 11967976
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230307942
    Abstract: A bidirectional chopper selectively performs a charging operation and a discharging operation, the charging operation being an operation in which a part of DC power generated by a converter is stored in a power storage device, the discharging operation being an operation in which DC power of the power storage device is supplied to an inverter. A control circuit controls the bidirectional chopper to perform the discharging operation when a power failure of a power system occurs. The control circuit controls the bidirectional chopper based on a system frequency detected by a frequency detector when the power system is normal. The control circuit controls the bidirectional chopper to perform the charging operation in response to an increase in the system frequency, and to perform the discharging operation in response to a decrease in the system frequency.
