Abstract:
An electrically-driven working apparatus in one aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: a battery; an abnormality detection unit; a power supply path; a first disconnection unit; a second disconnection unit; and a control unit. The control unit activates the first disconnection unit to disconnect the power supply path if either of an overload or an over discharge of the battery is detected by the abnormality detection unit, and subsequently determines whether discharge from the battery has stopped after activating the first disconnection unit, and activates the second disconnection unit to disconnect the power supply path if discharge from the battery has not stopped.
Abstract:
A display control method in one aspect of the present disclosure includes: displaying a position image; acquiring a relevant signal; and rotating the position image. Displaying a position image includes displaying a position image in a specified direction with respect to a background image of a screen of a portable terminal device. Rotating the position image includes rotating the position image with respect to the background image so that an image direction matches a device direction.
Abstract:
A battery device having a chargeable and dischargeable battery; a detection unit that detects a state of the battery; and a control unit. The control unit calculates a value of a maximum charging current that can be supplied to the battery during charging of the battery on the basis of the state of the battery detected by the detection unit, and notifies a result of such calculation to a charging device.
Abstract:
A random number generating device includes a processing request part, a receiving part, a counting part, and a random number generation part. The processing request part makes a request for a predetermined processing to a processing requested object. The receiving part receives a response from the processing requested object in response to the request. The counting part performs a counting operation to increase or decrease a count value with a predetermined cycle, the counting operation being started at least prior to receipt of the response. The random number generation part acquires at least one count value of the counting part at least one predetermined acquisition timing after the receipt of the response is started, and generates a random number by using the at least one count value that is acquired.

Abstract:
A battery pack of an electric power tool comprises ten lithium-ion cells. The ten lithium-ion cells are connected in series. Each lithium-ion cell has a diameter equal to or less than 18 millimeters, a length equal to or less than 65 millimeters, and an internal resistance equal to or less than 30 milliohms. Because the battery pack has a high voltage in operation and is therefore able to supply large current, the battery pack is preferably configured incapable of being used in a conventional electric power tool that cannot operate under such a large current.
Abstract:
A measurement system according to one aspect of the present invention includes a battery pack and at least one type of connected device to which the pack is connected. The pack includes a first detection device detecting a predetermined physical quantity in the pack and having a predetermined measurement range. The connected device includes a second detection device detecting a physical quantity the same as the predetermined physical quantity and having a measurement range different from the range of the first detection device. One of the pack and the connected device includes a receiving device and a measurement processing device that performs a predetermined measurement process by using one of: a detection-value-related information received by the receiving device; and a detection result by one device of the first detection device and the second detection device, the one device being provided in one of the pack and the connected device.
Abstract:
A laser marker according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a laser emitter; an information reception circuit; a measuring circuit; and a disabling circuit. The measuring circuit starts to measure an elapsed time in response to the information reception circuit receiving an enabled time. The disabling circuit disables the laser marker for operating in response to a length of the elapsed time reaching or having reached a length of the enabled time.
Abstract:
A laser marking system in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a laser marker, a beam receiving device, and a notifier. The laser marker includes a laser beam emitter. The beam receiving device includes a beam receiver and a transmitter. The beam receiver receives a laser beam emitted by the laser beam emitter. The transmitter transmits a first positional signal. The first positional signal indicates a receiving position of the laser beam in the beam receiver. The notifier notifies of the receiving position of the laser beam based on the first positional signal.
Abstract:
A motor-driven appliance system in one aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a motor-driven appliance having a motor, at least one control circuit, and a communication device. The control circuit is configured to execute a process related to control of the motor-driven appliance. The communication device is configured to communicate with an external device. The control circuit is further configured to switch, when at least one predetermined sleep condition is satisfied, from an active mode in which the control circuit performs a normal operation to a sleep mode in which the control circuit stops part of the normal operation to thereby suppress power consumption; and to switch to the active mode when the communication device receives an external wakeup signal transmitted from the external device while the control circuit is in the sleep mode.
