  • Patent number: 9074679
    Abstract: An oil path (9) as a lubricating oil collecting and guiding device is provided with a long gutter-shaped main unit (9A), a press-in pin part (21) pushed into a press-in hole (22) formed on an open side end face (4a) of a transmission case (4), and an insertion pin part (24) inserted into an insertion hole (25) formed on a bottom part side of the transmission case (4). By this, the operation of installation on the bottom part side of the transmission case (4) during installation of the oil path (9) on the transmission case (4) includes only inserting the insertion pin part (24) into the insertion hole (25) of the transmission case (25), the operator therefore no longer needs to insert a hand deeply inside the transmission case (4) for the operation, and the operability of installation of the oil path (9) on the transmission case is improved.

  • Patent number: 8905192
    Abstract: A lubricating-oil collection guide tool includes an oil-collection container; an oil funnel guiding lubricating oil into an oil passage at an axis end of a rotation axis; and an oil-passage member communicating the oil funnel and the oil-collection container. The oil-passage member includes a first passage member extending from the oil-collection container, and a second passage member extending from the oil funnel. While an insertion hole is formed in a lateral wall portion on one end side of the second passage member, one end portion of the first passage member is a cylindrical end portion. The cylindrical end portion is inserted into the insertion hole to move in and out in the axis line direction. The cylindrical end portion moves in a long axis direction relative to the insertion hole, and turns as a center of an axis line of the cylindrical end portion.

  • Patent number: 8271985
    Abstract: A scheduling apparatus includes a state information acquisition unit that acquires, from a decoding unit, state information that serves as an indicator for computing a processing time actually required for a decoding unit to perform a decoding process on first processing target data, and a schedule generating unit that determines a second scheduled processing time for which the decoding unit is able to perform the decoding process on second processing target data, based on the processing time computed based on the state information. The schedule generating unit further generates a second schedule for the decoding unit to perform the decoding process on the second processing target data, by allocating the second scheduled processing time to the decoding unit.

  • Patent number: 8245197
    Abstract: A program monitoring method includes the steps of describing an operating point code (2P) indicating an operating point value (3P) in one or more locations of a module (1M), counting the operating point value (3P) indicated by the operating point code (2P) by a counter if an execution position becomes the location of the operating point code (2P) while the module (1M) is being executed, and deciding that the module (1M) has not been executed normally if a difference between the numerical value counted by the counter and a score value (3S) is not a predetermined numerical value.
