Abstract: A performance prediction method, performance prediction system and program for predicting a performance of a monitoring target system including processing devices. A plurality of types of measurement values are acquired from the monitoring target system at regular intervals. A value at a future time of a reference index which is a portion of the measurement values is predicted, and the probability, based on a probability model, that a target event will be generated is calculated, the target event being an event in which a specific measurement value, which is different from the reference index at the future time, lies within the specific range, with the value of the reference index regarded as a prerequisite. An operation results value of the monitoring target system is included in the measurement values and an operation plan value of the monitoring target system is included in the reference index, which is time-series predicted.

Abstract: A reversing operation detecting device for a work vehicle, in which a forward and reverse travel operating lever is favorable in operability and which stably detects the reversing operation of the operating lever to be capable of issuing a vehicle reversing alarm. A non-contact type sensor detects the reversing operation of the forward and reverse travel-operating lever. A detected link is provided to perform opposite swinging motions in forward and reverse directions, respectively, following the swinging of the operating lever in forward and reverse directions, and the reverse swinging motion of the detected link intersects the non-contact type sensor for detection of reverse operation.

Abstract: A thermal recording system for recording an image on a thermo-sensitive recording medium using a laser beam under a preheated condition of the thermo-sensitive recording medium. In the thermal recording system, a preheating device preheats the thermo-sensitive recording medium which has leuco dyes, a developer and light-absorbing dyes all provided on a support, and which develops color in a continuous tone at a density corresponding to the energy of the applied heat, to a predetermined temperature less than a color-developing temperature. A heating-beam generating device allows a laser beam to scan the thermo-sensitive recording medium so as to heat the thermo-sensitive recording medium to a predetermined color-developing temperature. Thus, the heating-beam generating device can control the laser beam in a sufficient control range, thereby making it possible to record an image on the thermo-sensitive recording medium with high accuracy.

Abstract: A locking lever is enabled to lock a drive control system of a working implement in an undrivable state, even if it does not reach a locking stroke end. The locking lever is extended into a state to obstruct the passage into the passageway to a driver's seat thereby to switch a control selector lever of the working implement drive control system into a controllable position through a mechanical linkage. When the driver gets off from the driver's seat, the locking lever is returned from the passage obstructing position to a retracted position thereby to switch the control selector lever to an uncontrollable position through a the mechanical linkage. These operations are switched midway of the rocking stroke of the locking lever by bringing the control selector lever to the stroke end so that the locking lever is made idle to the stroke end of the retracted position while retaining the control selector lever in the switched state.

Abstract: A thermal recording system for recording an image or the like on a thermo-sensitive recording medium using a laser beam under a preheated condition of the thermo-sensitive recording medium. In the thermal recording system, a preheating means preheats the thermo-sensitive recording medium which has leuco dyes, a developer and light-absorbing dyes all provided on a support and which develops color in continuous tone at a density corresponding to the energy of applied heat, to a predetermined temperature less than a color-developing temperature. A heating-beam generating means allows the thermo-sensitive recording medium to be scanned with a laser beam emitted therefrom so as to heat the thermo-sensitive recording medium to a predetermined color-developing temperature. Thus, the heating-beam generating means can control the laser beam in a sufficient control range, thereby making it possible to record an image or the like on the thermo-sensitive recording medium with high accuracy.

Abstract: An image-wise exposure apparatus comprises a light source for producing recording light, to which a photosensitive material is to be exposed, and a spatial modulation device provided with a plurality of picture elements located in the form of a two-dimensional array. The spatial modulation device raster-scans the picture elements and thereby carries out spatial modulation of the recording light. A picture element shifting device changes the optical relationship between the spatial modulation device and the photosensitive material. A controller sets all of the picture elements of the spatial modulation device to a totally closed condition for a single frame period and drives the picture element shifting device while all of the picture elements of the spatial modulation device are being in the totally closed condition. Effects of a picture element shifting operation are thereby obtained sufficiently, and image-wise exposure is carried out quickly.
