Abstract: A transport vehicle system includes transport vehicles and a controller to allocate a transport instruction to the transport vehicles. The controller is configured or programmed to allocate a first transport instruction when the first transport instruction with a first priority occurs in a state in which a number of vacant transport vehicles is a first number, and to not allocate a second transport instruction to vacant transport vehicles when the second transport instruction with a second priority lower than the first priority occurs in a state in which the number of vacant transport vehicles is the first number.

Abstract: A travelling vehicle system includes travelling vehicles and a controller. The controller includes a storage that stores a last permitted travelling vehicle, to which a passage permission is transmitted lastly and the passage permission for which is not canceled, for each direction in a branching section or a merging section included in a blocking area, stores a last canceled travelling vehicle, the passage permission for which is canceled lastly, for each direction in the blocking area, and stores the travelling vehicle, to which the passage permission in a same direction in the blocking area is transmitted lastly, as a forward travelling vehicle of a travelling vehicle waiting for the permission to pass through the blocking area at the time of transmission of the passage permission to the passage-permission waiting travelling vehicle, and a determiner that determines whether to give passage permission to the travelling vehicle waiting for the permission.

Abstract: A transport system includes a controller that controls a vehicle, wherein the controller assigns a first transport instruction instead of a transport instruction, to cause the vehicle to pick up an article at a pickup port and travel to a specified location on a downstream side of the pickup port in a traveling direction of the vehicle at which a route can be secured on the track when a route for the vehicle from a pickup port to an unloading port designated by the transport instruction cannot be secured, and the controller assigns a second transport instruction to cause the vehicle to travel from the specified location to the unloading port and unload the article at the unloading port when a route from the specified location to the unloading port can be secured at a point in time at which the vehicle approaches or reaches the specified location.

Abstract: A transport system includes a transport vehicle that transports an article, and a transport controller that controls the transport vehicle based on a host transport instruction received from a host controller.

Abstract: A laminated glass includes an interlayer between an exterior glass plate and an interior glass plate; an information acquisition area; and a test area A specified in JIS R3212. The information acquisition area is positioned above the test area A. At least a part of a periphery of the information acquisition area is surrounded by a shielding layer formed of a colored ceramic layer. One of the exterior and interior glass plates is thicker at an upper end than at a lower end. Denoting a degree of thickness difference of the information acquisition area by ? and a degree of thickness difference of the test area A by ?, a ratio ?/? is greater than or equal to 1.01, where ? or ? is the ratio of thicknesses of the exterior and interior glass plates at the center of gravity of the corresponding area.

Abstract: In a traveling vehicle system, a traveling vehicle transmits a passage permission request to a controller when reaching a request point upstream of a merging portion of a track, passes through the merging portion when receiving passage permission of the merging portion, and stops at a stopping point when the passage permission is not received. The controller includes a storage unit that stores requested traveling vehicles and priority information concerning the priority of each requested traveling vehicle, and a passage-permission determination unit that, while a plurality of requested traveling vehicles having routes entering the merging portion different from one another are stored in the storage unit, when any of the requested traveling vehicles reached a determination point, determines whether to transmit the passage permission to the relevant requested traveling vehicle that has reached the determination point based on the priority information.

Abstract: A method includes accepting specifying of target software as a target of authentication of a license, determining whether a monitoring target process associated with the target software is activated based on information managing a plurality of activated processes, the monitoring target process being a process that executes installation of the target software, determining whether a specific display area corresponding to the monitoring target process is selected based on a selection state of each of a plurality of display areas each corresponding to each of the plurality of activated processes when it is determined that the monitoring target process is activated, acquiring entered information entered by an entry device when it is determined that the specific display area corresponding to the monitoring target process is selected, and carrying out matching between the entered information and license information that is acquired from a memory and is associated with the target software.

Abstract: A glass plate has a thickness of from 1.5 to 3 mm, and it has a peripheral region having a predetermined width along the edge line of the plate and having its principal stress difference of compressive properties, an intermediate region having a predetermined width adjacent to an inner periphery of the peripheral region and having its principal stress difference of tensile properties and a central region occupying an inner peripheral side of the intermediate region wherein the central region has an averaged surface compression stress of from 15 to 35 MPa, and the peripheral region has a width of from 5 to 20 mm; the maximum value of the principal stress difference averaged in a thickness direction of the plate along its center line is from 20 to 40 MPa, and the minimum value of the principal stress difference averaged in a thickness direction along the center line is from 8 to 25 MPa.
