  • Patent number: 11772556
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes work equipment having a work tool and a support member supporting the work tool. A display control system controls a display device provided outside the work vehicle. The display control system includes a captured image acquisition unit, a supplementary image acquisition unit, a display image generation unit, and a display control unit. The captured image acquisition unit acquires a captured image captured by an imaging device mounted on the work vehicle. The supplementary image acquisition unit acquires a supplementary image representing information related to the work vehicle. The display image generation unit generates a display image in which the supplementary image is disposed in an area where a side surface of the support member can be shown in the captured image. The display control unit outputs a display signal in order to display the display image on the display device.

  • Publication number: 20230267895
    Abstract: A captured image acquisition unit acquires a captured image showing work equipment from a camera provided at a work machine. A blade edge shadow generation unit generates a blade edge shadow obtained by projecting a blade edge of the work equipment on a projection surface toward a vertical direction. A display image generation unit generates a display image obtained by superimposing the captured image, the blade edge shadow, and a reference range graphic obtained by projecting the reachable range of the blade edge on the projection surface toward the vertical direction. A display control unit outputs a display signal for displaying the display image.

  • Patent number: 6289154
    Abstract: A grating-type optical component having a high isolation ability at a light-blocking band and a small clad layer mode combination loss at a signal transmission band, and its manufacturing method are provided. A selected area on a core of an optical fiber is irradiated by ultraviolet beams emitted from an excimer laser source through a phase mask in order to produce high index of refraction areas and low index of refraction areas arranged alternately and periodically along the longitudinal axis of the optical fiber. This ultraviolet irradiation is terminated before the index of refraction, which is increasing due to the ultraviolet irradiation, reaches a target value. Then, the phase mask is removed, and the selected area of the core is again irradiated by ultraviolet beams, thereby completing the grating-type optical fiber.

  • Patent number: 5689905
    Abstract: A working machine of a hydraulic shovel which enables easy attaching and detaching of a chisel and affords smooth breaker work even in the vicinity of a wall, while enhancing chisel penetration and correspondingly improving the efficiency of the work. To this end, a bucket hinge pin (6d) is provided on one end of each of a pair of bucket brackets (6b) at a position offset from the axis of a breaker-incorporating arm (4b) toward the bucket cylinder (7), and, while the bucket (6) is in the tilted position, the chisel (10) is attached so as to extend through a space between the bucket hinge pin (6d) and the bucket link pin (8b) which is provided on the other ends of the bucket brackets (6b).
