  • Patent number: 11850717
    Abstract: A fluid pressure hitting device comprises a piston inserted in a cylinder, a chisel, and a first, second, and third chambers. The chisel is fitted in the cylinder such that a part of the chisel projects from one axial end of the cylinder and is configured to further project from that axial end due to being hit by the piston as the piston slides toward the one axial end. The first through third chambers are partitioned by an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder and an outer peripheral surface of the piston. The first through third chambers are arranged in the axial direction in order fluid the one axial end to another axial end of the cylinder. A flow path is configured to supply fluid from a fluid supply portion when the piston hits the chisel, to the first chamber.

  • Publication number: 20230028732
    Abstract: A surface following control method for a robot is used for controlling the robot including a hand part, an arm part, and a controller. In this surface following control method for the robot, processes including a normal direction identification process and a work tool posture control process are performed. In the normal direction identification process, a normal direction of a virtual shape at a virtual position where the work tool attached to the hand part contacts the virtual shape which is a shape represented by the formula is identified. In the work tool control process, the work tool attached to the hand part is brought into contact with the target workpiece at a corresponding position which is a position corresponding to the virtual position on the surface of the target workpiece, in a posture along the normal direction identified in the normal direction identification process.

  • Publication number: 20220325672
    Abstract: A system for supplying hydrogen gas to an engine is disclosed. The system includes a main line configured to send hydrogen gas produced in a hydrogen gas producer by electrolysis to a supply line; a sub-line configured to send hydrogen gas from a hydrogen absorbing alloy cylinder to the main line, a governor configured to maintain an engine rotation speed within certain range; and a control device. The governor sends a signal corresponding to the engine rotation speed to the control device. A pressure regulating valve is disposed in the sub-line to be downstream with respect to the hydrogen absorbing alloy cylinder to regulate a supply amount of added hydrogen. An opening degree of the valve is adjusted based on a signal from the control device corresponding to the opening degree of the valve for supplying the added hydrogen with an amount according to a load state of the engine.

  • Patent number: 11163051
    Abstract: Transmission radars (1-nTX) (nTX=1, 2, . . . , NTX) generate mutually different modulation codes Code(nTX, h) by cyclically shifting the same code sequence by mutually different cyclic shift amounts ??(nTX), and generate mutually different transmission RF signals (4-nTX) using the mutually different modulation codes Code(nTX, h). As a result, the number of transmission radars 1-nTX can be made larger, and target detection accuracy can be made higher than in a case where orthogonal codes are used as mutually different modulation codes.
