  • Publication number: 20230192187
    Abstract: A bulldozer has a left planetary gear mechanism, a left steering clutch, and a first clutch gear. The left planetary gear mechanism is disposed between an input shaft and a left output shaft. The left steering clutch switches between transmitting and blocking a rotational force from the input shaft to the left output shaft by the left planetary gear mechanism. The first clutch gear is attached to the left steering clutch. The left steering clutch can is configured to be engaged or disengaged with a left sun gear. The first clutch gear is fixed in an unrotatable manner.

  • Publication number: 20220242483
    Abstract: A bulldozer includes a control unit for controlling left and right steering clutches and left and right steering brakes, thereby executing a turning control of the vehicle. The control unit switches between a clutch control and a brake control on the basis of a differential between an actual turning radius and a target turning radius.

  • Patent number: 10825106
    Abstract: A document management system includes first and second terminals and a server, wherein processing tasks of the first terminal is offloaded to the server and results of the processing tasks are delivered to the second terminal. The first terminal transmits document preparation data and a destination address corresponding to a user. The server receives the document preparation data and the destination address, generates a document code indicating a classification of document contents and the document, stores the document, and controls transmissions of the document code and a storage address of the document to the destination address. The second terminal receives the document code and storage address, downloads the document based on the information indicating the storage address of the document, and stores the downloaded document in a storage device of the second terminal at a location determined based on the classification of document contents included in the document code.

  • Patent number: 10358687
    Abstract: A hot stamp molded body that can be produced highly efficiently without causing sticking of plating to a mold, when an electrogalvanized steel sheet with a light plating weight is hot-stamped using a rapidly heating method such as Joule heating and induction heating, and can secure favorable paint adhesiveness without a posttreatment such as shotblasting after hot stamping, as well as a method for producing the same.

  • Patent number: 4023206
    Abstract: A humidity sensor is formed by a pair of electrodes fitted on the surface of a flexible insulator film such as a polyester film, the pair of electrodes being arranged adjacent to one another with a suitable gap therebetween. Within the gap between the adjacent electrodes, a rough surface portion is formed on the insulator and/or the electrodes so that condensed dewdrops on the gap are automatically dispersed, and accordingly the sensitivity of the humidity sensor is improved.A video tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus is also disclosed which employs the humidity sensor described above. In this case, the humidity sensor is mounted on the tape guide drum of the video tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus for detecting the humidity thereon.
