  • Patent number: 11994097
    Abstract: A hydraulic pump/motor includes: a cylinder block rotating about a rotation axis; a piston in a cylinder bore; and a valve plate facing a cylinder port. The valve plate includes: a high pressure port through which oil discharged from the cylinder port flows; a low pressure port through which the oil to be sucked into the cylinder port flows; a region disposed between the high and low pressure ports in a circumferential direction of the rotation axis and including a top dead center position facing the cylinder port of the cylinder bore in which the piston moved to a top dead center is disposed; and a residual pressure release port between the top dead center position and the low pressure port in the region. The residual pressure release port includes first and second ports disposed at positions different from each other in the radial direction of the rotation axis.

  • Patent number: 11843747
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first device, a second device, and one or more controllers that function as a first processing unit capable of controlling the first device, and a second processing unit capable of controlling the second device. The first processing unit receives information from the first device about a status of the first device and transmits a message to the second processing unit. The second processing unit receives the message from the first processing unit and controls the second device. In startup processes, the first and second processing units perform processes to start a communication with each other such that the first processing unit stores predetermined information in a predetermined storage area based on the information about the status of the first device received from the first device, and the second processing unit controls the second device based on the predetermined information acquired from the storage area.

  • Patent number: 11838477
    Abstract: A communication I/F of an image generating unit writes settings for an image data to a transitory storage unit by serial communication before the image data is transmitted from the image generating unit to the transitory storage unit. The communication I/F stores partial information of an address used for previous writing in a cache unit, and omits the writing of the partial information of the address used for further writing if the partial information of the address matches the partial information of the stored address.
