Abstract: Provided is an authenticating device that reduces entry mistakes when entering a password due to touch mistakes in a state in which security is maintained. An image forming apparatus includes a touch panel, an authentication-processing unit, and a touch-mistake-detection unit. The touch panel displays a software keyboard on which plural input keys that indicate characters, numbers and symbols are arranged, and receives touch operations of input keys that correspond to touch positions on a display screen that displays the software keyboard. The authentication-processing unit executes user authentication by comparing an entered password that is entered by the touch panel and a set password. When the comparison result indicates there is no match, the touch-mistake-detection unit detects a touch mistake in the entered password. When a touch mistake is detected, the authentication-processing unit authenticates the entered password as the set password being entered.

Abstract: A working vehicle that uses the output of an internal combustion engine (30) as a working power and a traveling power includes an accelerator pedal (1) that increases a rotation speed of the engine (30) when depressed and a transmission (40) that shifts a rotation of the engine (30) and applies the shifted rotation to the traveling power. A speed ratio control device of the transmission (40) calculates a first target vehicle speed (Wne) according to the rotation speed of the engine (30), calculates a second target vehicle speed (Wu) according to a depression amount of the accelerator pedal (1), and controls the speed ratio of the transmission (40) on the basis of the smaller of these target vehicle speeds. As a result, a vehicle speed according to the depression amount of the traveling accelerator pedal (1) is obtained even when the internal combustion engine (30) rotates at high speed.
