9results about "Manual control with multiple controlling members" patented technology

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.

The present disclosure relates to an agricultural work vehicle and a method of controlling the same. The agricultural work vehicle according to the present disclosure is provided with forward and reverse switches on the outside thereof to enable the driving of the work vehicle to be manipulated from the outside of the work vehicle. According to the present disclosure, there is the effect of facilitating the work of coupling an implement to the agricultural work vehicle while ensuring stability.

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.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for enabling a smartphone into a remote controller for a radio-controlled instrument. The apparatus comprises a fixing support assembly, a steering assembly, and a throttle assembly. The fixing support assembly is configured for rigidly clamping a smartphone. The steering assembly is set over the fixing support assembly and configured for maneuvering a first capacitive tip over screen surface of the smartphone for providing steering control over the radio-controlled instrument. The throttle assembly is set over the fixing support assembly and configured for maneuvering a second capacitive tip over the screen surface for providing throttle control over the instrument. The steering assembly and the throttle assembly are configured to transmit capacitive effect of fingers of the user to the screen of the smartphone in order to remotely control the radio-controller instrument.

Managing controller connection, including: determining whether at least one controller is connected to a game system, and performing and repeating the following until transitioned into a one-handed operation or two-handed operation of a user: (a) if more than one controller connection is detected, transitioning into the two-handed operation; (b) if no controller connection is detected, requesting the user to connect the at least one controller; (c) if connection of only a first controller is detected, requesting the user to connect a second controller; (d) if connection of the second controller is not detected, transitioning into the one-handed operation, wherein the transition into the one-handed operation is made after determining and deciding to continue with only the first controller.

A piloting device for piloting an aircraft includes a first and a second control stick movably mounted on a support, a detection system for detecting the positions of the first and second control sticks, an elastic mechanism configured to apply a restoring force to the second control stick, first and second actuation systems configured to apply respective first and second position adjustment forces to the respective first and second control sticks, and a control module configured to control the second adjustment force so that the positions of the first and second control sticks are identical. The control module is configured to control the first adjustment force based on the second adjustment force and the restoring force.

A portable tool having an elongate frame with a front-to-rear lengthwise axis. The portable tool is configured to be held in a starting orientation, wherein the lengthwise axis of the frame extends substantially horizontally, with a user's hands separately engaging the portable tool at a first region and a second region forwardly of the first region. The portable tool has: a) a gripping assembly at the second region; and b) an engaging structure at the first region and including a handle with a gripping length that extends along a gripping line. The handle is connected to the frame and configured so that with the portable tool in the starting orientation and the handle in a first position: i) the handle gripping line makes an angle of no more than 15° with a horizontal reference plane containing the lengthwise axis of the elongate frame; and ii) a space is formed between the gripping length and the elongate frame to accommodate fingers on the user's one hand with the user's one hand grasping the gripping length.
