System and method for autonomous control of an override device

The present invention relates to systems and methods for autonomous control of overrunning devices. In an example, a system is described that includes a control lever for controlling operation of a device, a first actuator coupled to the control lever via a rod, and a resettable frangible link coupling a second actuator to the control lever via the rod. Based on a force applied to the rod by the first actuator, the resettable frangible link enables decoupling of the second actuator from the control lever.

Operation control method of dual integrated control apparatus for autonomous driving vehicle

In an operation control method of an integrated control apparatus for an autonomous driving vehicle, when a steering operation is performed on both of a first joystick lever and a second joystick lever to return to neutral positions after the steering operation, a lever which is always pivoted in an adduction direction is set to a function activation state, or a lever set to the function activation state during the steering operation is continuously maintained in the function activation state until the return to the neutral position is completed after the steering operation. In the present way, a user can more easily recognize the joystick lever in the function activation state.

Collective control system for a rotorcraft

The control system for attachment to a collective lever in a rotorcraft which comprises a body with an extended horn portion which is generally contoured to provide for a place to rest the palm and grip the collective lever at the end in the form of an open spherical grip as opposed to the more traditional cylindrical grip used to grasp the throttle and / or collective lever directly. The control system generally includes a plurality of controls which can be manipulated by any or all of the four fingers of the hand and the thumb without need to substantially move the palm. The collective lever can also be moved without having to remove the hand from the control system or the fingers or thumb from the controls.

Work machine

To improve operability.SOLUTION: In a miter saw 10, a fixing mechanism 50 includes a lever 64 and a bearing 68 that regulates rotation of a support column 42 to one side in a rotating direction at a right-angle position of a support column 42. By rotating the lever 64 about an axis AL1, the fixing mechanism 50 is switched between a fixed state and an unfixed state. Further, by performing a movement operation of moving the lever 64 toward a rear side along the axis AL1, a front-rear position of a lever unit 60 (the bearing 68) is switched from a first position to a second position, so that the restriction of rotation of the support column 42 toward the one side in the rotating direction by the bearing 68 is released. This eliminates the need for an operator to operate separate operating-portions when a head portion 32 is changed from the right-angle position to a position inclined to a right side with respect to a turntable 24. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operability when changing the position of the head portion 32 with respect to the turntable 24.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Rudder pedal device

PendingEP4594180A1Controlling membersGearing
Rudder pedal input control devices (100, 200, 300, 400A, 400B, 500, 600) are described that utilize a straight-line mechanism and rotary joints to achieve straight line motion in a compact volume. The devices include bar linkages (106, 108, 206, 208, 306, 308, 506, 606) that translate forward motion of a pedal (110, 112, 210, 212, 310, 312, 510, 610) into a rotary motion of a common shaft (102, 202, 302, 502, 602), such that forward motion of one pedal (110, 112, 210, 212, 310, 312, 510, 610) causes the other pedal (110, 112, 210, 212, 310, 312, 510, 610) to retract while allowing for yaw motion control of the aircraft.
