  • Patent number: 11954509
    Abstract: In a case where an active system virtual server detects stopping of a heartbeat received from a standby system virtual server, the active system virtual server notifies a coordination apparatus of the detection of the stopping of a heartbeat. In addition, the active system virtual server reports whether or not a service is operating to the coordination apparatus. The coordination apparatus instructs the standby system virtual server to restart the system in a case where the stopping of a heartbeat and the operation of a service are received. The standby system virtual server restarts the service, restarts an operating system, or restarts the operating system in a case where the restart of the service is not successful, in response to an instruction for restarting the system.

  • Publication number: 20230095687
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses can accurately determine proper payload transfer from a working implement of a working machine. Such systems, methods, and apparatuses can identify occurrence of a payload discharge event for the working implement; determine whether a position of the working implement at a time of the identification of the occurrence of the payload discharge event is in a preset working area or a preset discharge area; omit the payload discharge event from registration for a tally of discharge material payload amount under a first case where the position of the working implement is determined to be in the working area; and register the payload discharge event for the tally under a second case where the position of the work implement is determined to be in the discharge area. The tally of the discharge material payload amount may be increased by a load amount associated with the load discharge event.
