  • Patent number: 11748826
    Abstract: A construction site management device receives operation information indicating an operation content of a loading machine, and positional information sent from a haulage vehicle; stores a positional history, and stores an operation history. The operation history includes a content of work of the loading machine performed in a work area and information of time when the work has been performed. Haulage history indicates when the haulage vehicle has entered the work area, and loading history indicates the time when the loading machine has performed loading work for the haulage vehicle and a work area in which the loading machine has performed the loading work for the haulage vehicle. The loading history is created on the basis of the haulage history and the operation history; and work result data indicating from which work area to which work area a load has been hauled is output.

  • Patent number: 9734415
    Abstract: An object detection system including multiple detecting means identifies other-vehicle information data acquired by using the multiple detecting means, determines whether or not the other-vehicle information data acquired by using the multiple detecting means 105 and 107 are of the same vehicle to output the other-vehicle information data that can be applied to various control applications when the other-vehicle information data determined to be of the same vehicle are switched, selects either of the multiple other-vehicle information data determined to be of the same vehicle according to the other-vehicle information detecting accuracies of the detecting means 105 and 107, and switches the selected other-vehicle information data to another other-vehicle information in a transition period based on the relative speed and the relative position from the other vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9183178
    Abstract: Another detection device reduces the time needed for travel motion information about another vehicle obtained by an accurate detector device, and to continues supplement for the other vehicle in the event that detection is lost. All onboard controller is connected to a communication device as a first detector device for outputting the travel motion information about another vehicle, and a sensor as a second detector device. When the difference between first travel motion information from the first detection device and second travel motion information from the second detection device is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, and the period of continuous detection of the second travel motion information from the second detection device is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, the controller determines the first travel motion information and the second travel motion information to be travel motion information for the same vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9049049
    Abstract: A routing method and an in-vehicle gateway device having a plurality of interfaces for communication, automatic setting of routing function is enabled to perform, in consideration of characteristics of data which a connecting network handles. A network is classified to an information-system, a control-system and a safety-system, based on characteristics thereof, and which one of the systems includes a network connecting to the in-vehicle gateway device, is judged from equipments connecting to the network, or traffic of the network. Still more processing in data exchange among different classifications is set in advance.

  • Patent number: 8454767
    Abstract: A heat treatment method is capable of molding, by mobile quenching of induction quenching, an outer joint member of a tripod type constant velocity universal joint having excellent strength without forming hardened layers in larger radially-inner portions. Mobile quenching is performed in such a manner that a high-frequency induction heating coil is moved in an axial direction relative to an outer joint member, and thus hardened layers are formed on the roller guide surfaces. Magnetic field line cut-out bodies for cutting out generated magnetic field lines are arranged on the high-frequency induction heating coil. The larger radially-inner portions become an unquenched portion by cutting out the magnetic field lines with the magnetic field line cut-out bodies.

  • Patent number: 7559070
    Abstract: A moving image distribution system, wherein the user can view content moving images at no charge, and the provider of the content moving images can prevent a drain of the moving image contents and can protect the copy right thereof, as a copy right holder, without fail. The moving images are divided, along a time axis, into two master and slave nonreproducible moving image files. The slave moving image file (small file) is encrypted based on CM file data in which a predetermined CM element has been incorporated. In response to a reproduction request of a user terminal that possesses the master moving image file (main file) in advance, the slave moving image file is distributed with the CM moving images to the user terminal via a network line such as the Internet.
