Abstract: A wheel loader includes a vehicle body, a work implement, a link mechanism and a control section. The work implement has a boom a work tool. The link mechanism is configured and arranged to change a relative angle of the work tool with respect to the boom when the boom is rotated upward, such that an amount of variation of an angle of the work tool with respect to a horizontal direction is less than an amount of variation of an angle of the work tool with respect to the horizontal direction when the boom is rotated upward while the work tool is at a fixed relative angle with respect to the boom. The control section is configured to execute an auto tilt control that causes the work tool to rotate upward when the boom is rotated upward within an angular range below the horizontal direction during excavation.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods to create higher quality group III-nitride wafers that then generate improvements in the crystalline properties of ingots produced by ammonothermal growth from an initial defective seed. By obtaining future seeds from carefully chosen regions of an ingot produced on a bowed seed crystal, future ingot crystalline properties can be improved. Specifically, the future seeds are optimized if chosen from an area of relieved stress on a cracked ingot or from a carefully chosen N-polar compressed area. When the seeds are sliced out, miscut of 3-10° helps to improve structural quality of successive growth. Additionally a method is proposed to improve crystal quality by using the ammonothermal method to produce a series of ingots, each using a specifically oriented seed from the previous ingot. When employed, these methods enhance the quality of Group III nitride wafers and thus improve the efficiency of any subsequent device.

Abstract: A wheel loader (50) is designed so that when a specific first condition is met for vehicle speed, accelerator opening, engine speed, and HST pressure, the engine absorption torque curve of an HST pump (4) is switched to shift the matching point from the low-engine speed side to the high-engine speed side. On the other hand, if a second condition is met for vehicle speed and HST pressure, control is performed so that the absorption torque curve of the HST pump (4) is returned from the high-engine speed side to the low-engine speed side.

A powder including particles of an oxide of at least one rare earth element selected from Y, Sc or lanthanide elements and Zr oxide particles is prepared as a raw material powder, wherein in the particle size distribution of the rare earth element oxide particles, or in the particle size distribution of secondary particles in the case where the rare earth element oxide particles are agglomerated to form the secondary particles, the particle diameter D2.5 value at which the cumulative particle amount from the minimum particle size side is 2.5% based on the total particle amount is in the range from 180 nm to 2000 nm, inclusive. The raw material powder is press molded into a predetermined shape, followed by sintering.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a new testing method of group III-nitride wafers. By utilizing the ammonothermal method, GaN or other Group III-nitride wafers can be obtained by slicing the bulk GaN ingots. Since these wafers originate from the same ingot, these wafers have similar properties/qualities. Therefore, properties of wafers sliced from an ingot can be estimated from measurement data obtained from selected number of wafers sliced from the same ingot or an ingot before slicing. These estimated properties can be used for product certificate of untested wafers. This scheme can reduce a significant amount of time, labor and cost related to quality control.

Abstract: A storage section stores inching characteristic information. The inching characteristic information defines a relationship between an inching operation quantity and an inching characteristic value. The inching characteristic value is a value dependent on pilot pressure that is reduced through inching control. A computing section references the inching characteristic information to thereby compute, from the inching operation quantity detected by the inching operation quantity detector, a command value to the pilot pressure control valve. In the inching characteristic information, a rate of lowering the inching characteristic value when the inching operation quantity is within a first range is greater than a rate of lowering the inching characteristic value when the inching operation quantity is within a second range greater than the first range.

Abstract: In a work vehicle, a controller controls the displacement of a hydraulic motor by electronically controlling a motor displacement control part. When an inching operation member is being operated, the controller performs inching control for setting the minimum displacement of the hydraulic motor to a greater value in correspondence with a lower pilot pressure detected by a pilot pressure detector.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a high-pressure vessel of large size formed with a limited size of e.g. Ni—Cr based precipitation hardenable superalloy. Vessel may have multiple zones. For instance, the high-pressure vessel may be divided into at least three regions with flow-restricting devices and the crystallization region is set higher temperature than other regions. This structure helps to reliably seal both ends of the high-pressure vessel, at the same time, may help to greatly reduce unfavorable precipitation of group III nitride at the bottom of the vessel. Invention also discloses novel procedures to grow crystals with improved purity, transparency and structural quality. Alkali metal-containing mineralizers are charged with minimum exposure to oxygen and moisture until the high-pressure vessel is filled with ammonia. Several methods to reduce oxygen contamination during the process steps are presented.

Abstract: A work vehicle includes a pair of booms, a link mechanism and a control unit. The booms are attached to a front part of a vehicle body in an upwardly and downwardly rotatable state. The link mechanism couples a working unit to tips of the booms. The link mechanism is configured to keep the working unit in a posture generally parallel to the ground without rotating the working unit with respect to the ground while the booms are elevated from a position where the working unit is disposed on the ground when the working unit is a fork. The control unit is configured to execute a tilt angle adjusting control for the working unit in accordance with variation in an angle of the booms while the booms are elevated when a tilt angle of the working unit is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold.
