Abstract: A steering control system wherein a light receiving means rotating integrally with a light scanning means is mounted on a moving vehicle, and a light beam is scanned around the moving vehicle in the circumferential direction and the light beams reflected by at least three light reflecting means are sequentially detected by the light receiving means to detect the position of the moving vehicle on the basis of the reflected light beams so as to travel the vehicle along a predetermined traveling course. The reference direction of a photosensor used for the light beam scanning is maintained between predetermined adjoining two light reflecting means and the steering control is performed in dependance upon the positional information of the moving vehicle calculated on the basis of the detected azimuths of the reflected light beams if the number of reflected light beams detected during one revolution of the light beam is equal to the number of the disposed light reflecting means.

Abstract: A steering control system for a moving vehicle causes the vehicle to travel along a predetermined traveling course in a region in which a predetermined working operation, such as grass cutting or the like, is to be performed by the vehicle as it moves along the traveling course. An obstacle sensor is mounted on the vehicle, and when the sensor detects presence of an obstacle on the predetermined traveling course, the steering control system operates to cause the vehicle to leave the predetermined traveling course and to detour around the obstacle while maintaining a substantially constant distance between the obstacle and the moving vehicle.

Abstract: A moving type working robot comprises a vehicle provided with a means for setting a traveling course between a position of stopping its working operation and an accumulating/replenishing place on the basis of positional information of the position where the working was stopped and the position of the place where the material loaded on the vehicle is to be accumulated/replenished. The positional information is stored in storing means and a control means is provided for traveling the vehicle from said accumulating/replenishing place to said position at which the working had been stopped, or vice versa, along said traveling course when the amount of the material loaded on the vehicle has reached a predetermined value.

Abstract: An inscribed transmission device includes a substantially crescent-shaped space between an internal gear and an external gear circumscribingly in mesh with each other. The device comprises a rolling space holder having two sets of two rollers whose centers are situated on radial axes in the crescent-shaped space on both sides of a straight line connecting centers of the internal and external gears. The internal and external gears are provided with roller rolling portions on which the rollers roll. The two sets of rollers are supported by a block member or side plates. The rolling space holder smoothly moves to keep the crescent-shaped space, thereby preventing unintentional disengagement of the internal and external gears.

Abstract: Method for controlling information recording in an information recording apparatus which includes a rewritable information record medium containing a data record area having a plurality of data recording blocks and an alternative area in which data to be written into a defective block in the data record area is written, and writing and reading of data to and from the blocks and erasing of data may be carried out, wherein, data is written into the respective blocks in the data record area on the information record medium, and if a data record error is detected, data to be written into the defect block is written into a block of the alternative area. When data is subsequently rewritten, contents of all blocks in the data record area to be rewritten, including the block previously determined to be defective, are erased and the new data is rewritten, and the content of the alternative area is erased.
