PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form an efficient vehicle deadheading plan reduced in the use of public transportation system. SOLUTION: This vehicle deadheading plan forming device 10 forms a temporary deadheading plan for assigning forwarding clerks to deadhead vehicles. After the temporary deadheading plan is formed, a plurality of forwarding clerk plans is combined thereto, whereby it is judged whether another forwarding clerk can share one deadhead vehicle or not. When the sharing of the vehicle is possible, the plan is changed to a deadheading plan with sharing. When the final branch office of deadheading is close to the starting branch office by replacing the plurality of forward clerk plans, the use of public transportation system is reduced by replacing the plurality of forwarding clerk plans.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem of a vehicle rental system that transportation arrangement among a plurality of locations is complicated. SOLUTION: A sensor 8 retains a status of a vehicle inputted through a terminal 6 located at each service office as rental information 22. The sensor 8 retains a location and the operation condition of the sensor 8 notified by a transportation staff via a cellphone 10 as transportation staff information 24. The sensor 8 assigns each vehicle according to reservation made at the service office. In this case, when assigning a vehicle at the own service office is not possible, the sensor 8 assigns a vehicle at the other service office based on the rental information 22. The sensor 8 also assigns the transportation staff based on the transportation staff information 24 and transmits a transportation request to the cellphone 10. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a robot which plays a real musical instrument following direction. SOLUTION: A robot 100 in one embodiment increases and decreases the speed of playing a keyboard musical instrument 140 in accordance with the tempo of direction. To realize the above, the robot 100 is provided with: a music data storage section 108 stored with music data describing time series changes of a musical scale; an operation storage section 110 which makes the musical scale correspond to robotic operation required to generate the musical scale from the keyboard instrument and stores them; and an information processing section 106 which specifies a tempo from the state of the direction and performs various controls. The information processing section 106 successively specifies the robotic operations corresponding to the musical scale stored in the musical data storage section 108 at the specified tempo and causes the specified robotic operations to be performed.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable stable and high-speed switching control by eliminating shock at the time of switching by calculating the target compensated value of the kinetic state quantity of a controlled system based on a driving command value just before switching and the prescribed inverse operation rules of a control compensating means. SOLUTION: When switching a speed control mode to a torque control mode, a switching setting means 80 finds an offset compensated value ΔOFS as the difference between the output value of a speed control compensating means 19 and the output value of a torque control compensating means just before switching. Next, an indirect torque command value τd is applied and the torque control compensating means 18 outputs a motor command value so that the torque control value can be coincident with a current torque value τ. At such a time, the compensated value ΔOFS is inputted to an adding means 36 by a switching time offset generating means 35, added to the motor command value of the torque control compensating means 18 and inputted to a switching means 20. Thus, concerning the motor command value to which the compensated value ΔOFS is added, the command value does not suddenly change before and after switching. Thus, switching can be made smooth.

CONSTITUTION:When the abnormal signals are successively inputted, the abnormality occurring frequency is displayed at an abnormality contents display part 12 and at the same time the codes of abnormal signals are successively stored in a RAM 38. A number instructing device 16 is operated after deciding whether a switch 18 for retrieval of the abnormality is turned on or not. Thus an abnormal number is instructed and the contents of abnormality corresponding to the instructed number are read out of the RAM 38. Then the code corresponding to the abnormality is displayed at the part 12. Then the type of abnormality can be known with collation carried out through a table, etc.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To take a measurement in a short time with small-sized constitution by finding unbalance from an angle of rotation calculated from the reference rotational position of a body to be tested which is held in constant rotation and the amplitude of a signal having the same period as the rotation period of the body to be tested which is passed through a filter. CONSTITUTION:A crank shaft W as the body to be tested is placed on rollers 1a and 1b, and 2a and 2b to rotate an AC servo motor 12 with a start signal from the keyboard 56a of a terminal 56 and also detect the rotating speed by a proximity switch 6, and the shaft W is rotated at a constant speed by a motor rotation controller 50. Therefore, vibrations generated owing to the dynamic unbalance of the shaft W are detected by vibration sensors 14F and 14R. Their detection signals are supplied to a measurement controller 54 through BPFs 52F and 52R and amplifying circuits 53F and 53R. The controller 54 is controlled by a CPU 101, which calculates the extent of the unbalance and the angle where the unbalance is present to display them on a cathode-ray tube 56b.
