A glass product machining apparatus comprises a grindstone rotatable around an axis by means of a motor, moving table movable under the grindstone in the cross direction of the grindstone, frame for supporting the grindstone for up-and-down motion, lift, guides, supporting arms, pressure cylinder supported on the frame, and dressing machine for dressing or truing the grindstone. The pressure cylinder serves to apply a fixed elastic load to the grindstone as the grindstone shifts its position upward. A glass panel is located on the moving table. The panel moves together with the table. When the panel passes under the grindstone, an outer peripheral surface of the grindstone is brought into contact with the surface of the panel with a fixed force of pressure by the pressure cylinder. The grindstone relatively moves along the curved surface of the panel as it grinds the panel surface.

An adjacent vehicle approach prohibition region is set before and after a to-be-converged moving target (MT) on a main line with reference to the to-be-converged MT. The to-be-converged MT corresponds to a converging MT assigned to a converging vehicle which is about to enter and converge onto the main line from a branch line. When a preceding non-MT-controlled vehicle or a following non-MT-controlled vehicle, which is a to-be-converged vehicle running on the main line onto which the converging vehicle is to converge, and which preceding or following vehicle is not subjected to a control by a MT method, has entered the adjacent vehicle approach prohibition region, the to-be-converged MT is accelerated/decelerated, whereby the entering to-be-converged vehicle is excluded from the adjacent vehicle approach prohibition region.

Running vehicle control method for automatically controlling a plurality of vehicles running on a road

A system and method for controlling a group of vehicles running on a road under vehicle-to-vehicle control where a joining group of vehicles (10) approaching from a branch road (7) is controlled by a system employing a moving target control method applied to only the head vehicle (1) in the joining group (10). Vehicle joining is achieved when a head moving target (21) in a continuous null (not-allocated) group (40) of moving targets on the main road that has an overall length larger than that of the joining vehicle group approaching from the branch road (7) and the head moving target of the null group (40) is synchronized with the head vehicle of the joining group (10).

A speed variable moving sidewalk for conveying passengers includes an endless circulating path having inverting sections, a high-speed section and speed variable sections, and a large number of treadboards moving along the circulating path. Each treadboard can move independently as being guided by guide rails and has hooks on its underside which engage shafts of a driving chain for inverting section. The treadboard further has hooks on its underside which engage shafts of a rack chain in order to be driven in the high-speed section and a roller for transversely sliding relative to the neighboring treadboard. A handrail mechanism for the speed variable moving sidewalk includes: with the total length of the moving sidewalk being divided into plural portions, a multiple-number of independent moving handrail portions for allowing passengers to hold thereon, being arranged for the respective portions of the sidewalk while all of the moving handrail portions are arranged without overlapping with one another.
