Abstract: A selection support device that supports selection of a work machine to be used for work from among a plurality of work machines, the selection support device including: a history information acquisition unit configured to acquire history information on a use history of each work machine; a specifying unit configured to specify a degree of use of each work machine based on the history information; and a selection unit configured to preferentially select a work machine with a small degree of use as a work machine to be used for work.

Abstract: The storage unit stores history information in which area information regarding a past work area and time information regarding a work time in the past work area are associated with each other. The acquisition unit acquires area information regarding a current work area. The identification unit identifies a degree of association between the area information acquired by the acquisition unit and the history information stored in the storage unit. The output unit outputs information included in the history information with priority according to the degree of association identified by the identification unit.

Abstract: The acquisition unit acquires area information regarding a current work area. The prediction unit predicts a work time in the current work area on the basis of the area information acquired by the acquisition unit and history information in which area information regarding a past work area and time information regarding a work time in the past work area are associated with each other.

Abstract: A seat device for a vehicle includes a seat apparatus rotationally mounted on the floor of the vehicle to permit the seat apparatus to move between a first position in which the seat apparatus is adjacent the floor of the vehicle and a turned over position in which the seat apparatus is upright relative to the floor of the vehicle. The seat apparatus includes a seat back and a seat cushion, with the seat back being pivotally mounted with respect to the seat cushion to permit the seat back to be pivoted between a sitting position and a forwardly folded position on top of the seat cushion. A lock device locks the seat apparatus to the floor of the vehicle and prevents the seat from being moved to the turned over position. A mechanism is also provided for releasing the lock device to permit the seat apparatus to be moved to the turned over position only when the seat back is in the forwardly folded position.

Abstract: A seat slide device for a vehicle includes a lower rail fixed on the floor of the vehicle, and an upper rail slidably supported on the lower rail through intermediately located members such as rollers and balls. The upper rail has a horizontal portion possessing an outer face adapted to be connected with a seat cushion frame and an inner face contacting the intermediately located members. The horizontal portion of the upper rail possesses a stepped portion dividing the horizontal portion of the upper rail into a connection portion adapted to be connected to the seat cushion frame and a contact portion which contacts the intermediate members. By dividing the horizontal portion of the upper rails into the connection portion and the contact portion, possible adverse affects associated with distortion resulting from welding the upper rail to the cushion frame is significantly reduced and preferably avoided.

Abstract: A seat frame for supporting a pad formed in a predetermined shape and engaging with a skin for covering the pad includes a first roll formed frame having a closed rectangular cross sectional shape and wholly formed so as to extend along a front edge and both side edges of the pad and a second roll formed frame having a closed rectangular cross sectional shape and wholly formed so as to extend along a rear edge of the pad. Both end portions of the first roll formed frame and both end portions of the second roll formed frame are connected to each other. Accordingly, the strength of the seat frame is improved without increasing the weight of the seat frame.
