  • Publication number: 20240068732
    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a controller wherein the controller detects opening and closing of a door during a normal temperature control in which a compartment temperature of a first storage compartment is maintained at a normal set temperature, to supply cold air to the first storage compartment for a first time period, in a case where the controller detects, via a temperature detection unit within the first time period, a temperature rise range equal to or more than a temperature rise range set in advance, cause the compartment temperature to shift to a first set temperature lower than the normal set temperature for a second time period and, thereafter, cause the compartment temperature to shift to a second set temperature higher than the normal set temperature for a third time period and then cause the compartment temperature to shift to the first set temperature for a fourth time period.

  • Patent number: 10480160
    Abstract: A main controller controlling an operation of a work vehicle includes a determination unit and an abnormal condition determination unit. The determination unit determines whether or not an attachment has a sensor based on information on an attachment. When the determination unit determines that the attachment has the sensor and when the abnormal condition determination unit cannot receive a signal from the sensor, the abnormal condition determination unit determines that an abnormal condition has occurred.

  • Patent number: 10323381
    Abstract: A work implement has a boom, an arm, and a bucket pivotable around a bucket axis which is a pivot axis with respect to the arm and a tilt axis orthogonal to the bucket axis. The hydraulic cylinder has the bucket pivot around the tilt axis. The regulation valve regulates an amount of supply of a hydraulic oil to be supplied to the hydraulic cylinder based on a command signal. The position sensor measures a stroke length of the hydraulic cylinder. The control unit resets the stroke length measured by the position sensor. The control unit determines proximity to a stroke end of the hydraulic cylinder, generates a command signal for increasing a degree of opening of the regulation valve in the proximity of the stroke end, and resets the stroke length measured by the position sensor while the regulation valve is open in response to the command signal.
