  • Publication number: 20240078128
    Abstract: A control device is mountable on a vehicle. The control device includes a memory, and a hardware processor coupled to the memory. The hardware processor is configured to implement a first hypervisor and a second hypervisor. The first hypervisor controls execution of a first virtual machine. The second hypervisor performs communication with the first hypervisor via a gateway and controls execution of a second virtual machine. The hardware processor is configured to dynamically limit at least one of a communication traffic of application communication or a communication traffic of evaluation and verification communication, based on the application communication executed between the first hypervisor and the second hypervisor, and the evaluation and verification communication executed between the first hypervisor and the second hypervisor during activation of the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine, and based on a communication capacity of the gateway.

  • Patent number: 9004844
    Abstract: A forklift truck includes a truck body, a fork, a mast, tilting and lifting mechanisms, tilt and lift levers, tilting and lifting operation detectors, an auxiliary switch, a tilt angle detector and a controller. The tilt and lift levers are adapted to operate the tilting and lifting mechanisms, respectively. The auxiliary switch is disposed on the lift lever at a position where the auxiliary switch and the lift lever are operable by the same operator's hand. The controller is adapted to control the tilting and lifting mechanisms based on signals from the tilting and lifting operation detectors and the auxiliary switch. When the auxiliary switch is in operative position and the lifting operation detector detects that the lift lever is in operative position, the controller controls the tilting mechanism so as to tilt the fork to have a predetermined tilt angle based on a signal from the tilt angle detector.

  • Patent number: 4423856
    Abstract: A controlled cooling apparatus for a wire rod coiled into loops immediately after hot rolling. The coiled wire rod is transported with the loops laid substantially flat with a space of a given pitch from one another on a cooling bed. Nozzles are provided to project a cooling fluid such as forced air from below the cooling bed at an angle of from 40.degree. to 140.degree. with respect to the plane of the cooling bed to cool the coiled wire during its transportation. The nozzles are open in a transverse direction of the cooling bed with a nozzle opening area ratio of from 0.8 to 1.2, to provide uniform distribution of the cooling fluid in the transverse direction, whereby uniform cooling can be accomplished to minimize the variation in the cooling rates at densely overlapped loop portions and at sparsely overlapped loop portions.
