Abstract: A work machine includes a vehicle body, a blade supported so as to be rotatable about a pitch axis with respect to the vehicle body, a pitch actuator connected to the blade, a first sensor, and a controller. The pitch actuator causes the blade to perform a pitch motion about the pitch axis in a forward tilt direction and a backward tilt direction. The first sensor detects a first parameter relating to a penetration force of a blade tip of the blade in a downward direction. The controller determines whether the penetration force is insufficient based on the first parameter, and controls the pitch actuator to cause the blade to perform the pitch motion in the forward tilt direction upon determining that the penetration force is insufficient.

Abstract: An information management method collects log information of one or more home electrical apparatuses corresponding to service providers. Display screen data is generated which indicates a status of the log information. The display screen data includes groups of information which each contain information on an apparatus, a service provider corresponding to the apparatus, and log information output from the apparatus. Provision of the log information of each group is individually selectable. The display screen data is provided via a network to a display terminal that performs access to a server device. Information is received from the display terminal, which indicates that selection on whether or not provision of the log information is performed. Provision of the log information is not performed on the selected group when a determination is made that refusal of provision of the log information on the selected group is performed.

Abstract: In the object detection device, the plurality of object detection units output a score indicating a probability that a predetermined object exists, for each partial region set with respect to image data inputted. The weight computation unit computes a weight for each of the plurality of object detection units by using weight computation parameters and based on the image data. The weights are used when the scores outputted by the plurality of object detection units are merged. The weight redistribution unit changes the weight for a predetermined object detection unit, among the weights computed by the weight computation unit, to 0 and output the weights. The merging unit merges the scores outputted by the plurality of object detection units for each of the partial regions, by using the weights computed by the weight computation unit and including the weight changed by the weight redistribution unit.

Abstract: A work machine includes a vehicle body, a lift frame rotatably supported around a lift axis with respect to the vehicle body, a blade rotatably supported around a pitch axis with respect to the lift frame, a lift actuator connected to the lift frame and the vehicle body, a pitch actuator connected to the blade and the lift frame, a sensor that detects a height of the blade from a reference height determined based on the vehicle body, and a controller that controls the pitch actuator to change a pitch angle of the blade according to the height of the blade. The lift actuator causes the lift frame to perform a lift motion up and down around the lift axis. The pitch actuator causes the blade to perform a pitching motion around the pitch axis.

Abstract: A bulldozer includes: a travel manipulation lever that receives a manipulation of an operator and outputs a travel command to allow a travel device to travel or to stop the travel device; a fuel adjustment dial that sets a rotation speed of an engine; a seating sensor that outputs a seating signal indicating a sensed result of whether or not the operator is seated in an operator seat; a monitor that performs notification to the operator; and a controller. When the travel command to allow the travel device to travel is issued from the travel manipulation lever, a set value of the rotation speed of the engine is lower than or equal to a predetermined value, and the operator is not seated in the operator seat, the controller causes the monitor to perform the notification.

Abstract: When an inclination angle is greater than or equal to a first threshold, a controller determines a displacement of a hydraulic pump from a command vehicle speed based on second pump data and determines a displacement of a hydraulic motor from the command vehicle speed based on second motor data. The second pump data defines the displacement of the hydraulic pump that is smaller than that of first pump data with respect to the command vehicle speed. The second motor data defines the displacement of the hydraulic motor that is smaller than that of first motor data with respect to the command vehicle speed.
