  • Publication number: 20220291696
    Abstract: In order to provide a transport system that facilitates input of information related to movements of articles, the transport system includes a transport robot, a control apparatus, and a terminal. The transport robot transports an article. The control apparatus controls the transport robot. The terminal inputs information related to the transport of the article. The control apparatus identifies a transport destination of the article, based on the information related to the transport of the article obtained from the terminal. The control apparatus performs control to transport the article to the identified transport destination. The terminal may transmit first position information and second position information to the control apparatus, and the control apparatus may control the transport robot such that the article existing in a place corresponding to the first position information is transported to a place corresponding to the second position information.

  • Patent number: 7894191
    Abstract: The present invention aims to appropriately cool an operation unit and to suppress power consumption and noise according to the configuration and the operation state in a computer system of an enclosure. A plurality of system cooling fans for cooling the operation unit of the computer system installed in the enclosure and an enclosure management module for controlling the rotation of each system cooling fan are arranged, where the enclosure management module stores in advance the supply cooling amount which is to be supplied to the operation unit by each system cooling fan, acquires information related to a temperature of the operation unit and calculates a necessary cooling amount which is to be required in the operation unit based on the information, and determines the rotation number of each system cooling fan based on the supply cooling amount and the necessary cooling amount.

  • Publication number: 20090217060
    Abstract: To improve the efficiency of power supply units, and save the power of a device. A power supply control device for controlling on/off of a plurality of power supply units which supply power to a device, includes: a necessary power amount obtaining device which obtains a necessary power amount that shows a value of a power amount required by the device; a power supply unit specifying device which extracts combinations of a single or a plurality of power supply units capable of supplying the necessary power amount based on power amount-efficiency tables, calculates an efficiency of the power amount supplied to the device from the power supply units of the respective combinations, and specifies a combination of the power supply units whose calculated efficiencies satisfy a preset condition; and a power supply controller which controls the power supply units in specified combination to supply the power to the device.
