  • Patent number: 11238387
    Abstract: A management system includes a storage unit that stores schedule information that indicates schedules of a plurality of tasks to be performed by the same flight vehicle. The schedule information includes types of the plurality of tasks, date/times of the plurality of tasks, and locations at which the plurality of tasks are to be performed. When the types, the date/times, and the locations that are included in the schedule information stored in the storage unit satisfy an integration condition, an integration unit integrates the schedules of the plurality of tasks. An output unit outputs integrated schedule information indicating the schedules of the integrated tasks.

  • Publication number: 20220001833
    Abstract: A webbing retractor includes: a take-up shaft on which a webbing that is applied to a vehicle occupant can be taken-up, and on which the webbing is taken-up due to the take-up shaft being rotated in a take-up direction, and that is rotated in a pull-out direction due to the webbing being pulled-out; a restricting member that, by being operated, restricts rotation of the take-up shaft in the pull-out direction; a sensing section that senses a pulled-out state of the webbing; and a control section that, in a case in which the sensed pulled-out state corresponds to a state in which the webbing is pulled-out to a predetermined position, operates the restricting member and restricts rotation of the take-up shaft.

  • Publication number: 20210394708
    Abstract: In a vehicle emergency, a spool of a webbing take-up device is rotated in a pull-out direction such that a main lock is displaced toward a rotation-radial direction outside of the spool and engages with a clutch gear configuring a first rotation body. Rotation of the spool in the pull-out direction is thus restricted. Also in a vehicle emergency, the first rotation body is rotated in a take-up direction of the spool such that the main lock engages with the first rotation body, and rotation force of the first rotation body is transmitted to the spool through the main lock and the spool is rotated in the take-up direction.

  • Patent number: 11167846
    Abstract: Piloting assistance from a remote location is provided to a pilot of a flight vehicle. A server selects captured images. The captured images include flight vehicle viewpoint images that were captured by an image capturing function of the flight vehicle, or pilot viewpoint images that were captured by an image capturing apparatus and show the flight of the flight vehicle. The server provides selected captured images to an assister terminal with priority. The server determines the display with priority based on information related to the flight of the flight vehicle. For example, the server determines the captured images that are to be displayed with priority based on a state during the flight of the flight vehicle. States include, for example, the altitude, speed, orientation, battery amount, and motor rotation speeds of the flight vehicle, as well as the distance between the flight vehicle and a work object.
