  • Publication number: 20240152151
    Abstract: A mobile charging apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a battery for charging a work machine; a movement unit that causes the mobile charging apparatus to autonomously move; and a controller that executes a program to perform control such that the movement unit moves the mobile charging apparatus to a predetermined position to wait for the work machine.

  • Publication number: 20240111286
    Abstract: An autonomous control system and method for a vessel are provided. The autonomous control system includes a route setting unit, setting a route to a destination; a disturbance data acquisition unit, acquiring disturbance data from sources other than the vessel; an autonomous control unit, performing a control of the vessel based on the route set by the route setting unit and corrects the control of the vessel based on the disturbance data acquired by the disturbance data acquisition unit.

  • Publication number: 20240111287
    Abstract: An automatic berthing system and method for a vessel are provided. The automatic berthing system comprises a controller, controlling the vessel; an input part, receiving an input to perform the automatic berthing mode; at least one peripheral sensor, detecting position information and speed information of another vessel other than the vessel to determine whether a wake caused by the another vessel has influence on the vessel. The controller performs an automatic berthing control when the input to perform the automatic berthing mode is received until the vessel reaches a berthing position, and the controller stops the automatic berthing control when the another vessel is located within a predetermined distance from the vessel based on the position information.

  • Patent number: 8445807
    Abstract: A wire material having a copper-zinc alloy layer, which is formed by action of thermal diffusion, and a zinc layer on its circumference surface is subjected to processes, including from a step of drawing the wire material to a step of reducing the diameter of the product, to reliably crash the copper-zinc alloy layer into particles. The particles are embedded in the circumference surface of a core to integrate the diffusion alloy layer and zinc layer with the core and prevent the diffusion alloy layer and zinc layer from falling off from the core. In addition, in order to cover cracks formed in the copper-zinc alloy layer during wire drawing with a zinc thin film, wire drawing is performed at temperatures appropriate for maintaining good malleability and ductility of zinc.
