A working vehicle includes a prime mover, a traveling device, a traveling clutch switchable between an engaged state to transmit, to the traveling device, power provided from the prime mover and a disengaged state to interrupt the power transmitting to the traveling device, an automatic switching controller to switch the traveling clutch from the disengaged state to the engaged state, and a status detector to detect at least either a status of the prime mover or a status of the traveling device. The automatic switching controller changes a switching speed of the traveling clutch switched from the disengaged state to the engaged state based on the status detected by the status detector.

Working vehicle

A working vehicle includes: a vehicle body; a linkage device configured to link a working device to the vehicle body; a prime mover provided on the vehicle body; a traveling device configured to cause the vehicle body to travel; a transmission device configured to transmit power from the prime mover to the traveling device and perform a speed change process to change a speed of the vehicle body; an increase-in-speed detection device configured to detect an increase in speed of the vehicle body; and a speed change restraint unit configured such that, during the speed change process performed by the transmission device, when the increase in speed detected by the increase-in-speed detection device has become equal to or greater than a threshold, the speed change restraint unit stops the speed change process performed by the transmission device.

A vehicle includes; a vehicle body on which the motor is mounted; an apparatus provided to the traveling vehicle body and also driven by drive power from the motor; an apparatus that performs work on a field; an apparatus that changes the speed of drive power input from the motor and transmits the drive power; a tool that includes speed change stages and is also capable of speed change operation of the speed change apparatus by human operation; a controller that, when the number of speed change stages is changed based on human operation of the speed change operation tool, outputs to the speed change apparatus a speed change command for each predefined number of stages and is also capable of outputting the speed change command for each defined speed change interval; and an operation mechanism that enables adjustment of the speed change interval.

Work vehicle

A working vehicle includes a traveling clutch to be switched between an engaging state and a disengaging state, a brake to brake the traveling device according to an operation of a brake operator, and a controller to perform a braking control to perform the braking, and an auto-switching controller to switch the traveling clutch from the engaging state to the disengaging state. The controller performs a first processing to switch the traveling clutch from the engaging state to the disengaging state when the brake operator is operated in a case where the auto-switching control is valid and a vehicle speed is less than a threshold, and a second processing to prevent the traveling clutch from being switched from the engaging state to the disengaging state even when the brake operator is operated in a case where the vehicle speed is equal to or higher than the threshold.

A working vehicle includes a PTO shaft to transmit power of a propulsion shaft, a PTO clutch including a first rotor to be rotated by the power of the propulsion shaft, a second rotor to transmit the power to the PTO shaft, a press to be moved by a pressure of operation fluid between an engaging side on which the first rotor is engaged with the second rotor and a disengaging side, and a PTO brake to brake the PTO shaft when the press is positioned on the disengaging side, a control valve to control the pressure of the operation fluid to be applied to the PTO clutch, a rate setter to set a reducing rate at which the pressure of the operation fluid is reduced, and a controller to control the control valve based on the reducing rate.

A working vehicle includes a first hydraulic clutch connected to the first traveling shaft, a second hydraulic clutch connected to the first traveling shaft separately from the first hydraulic clutch, a first gear mechanism to transmit, to a second traveling shaft, power from the first hydraulic clutch when the first hydraulic clutch is engaged and not to transmit, to the second traveling shaft, power from the first hydraulic clutch when the first hydraulic clutch is disengaged, and a second gear mechanism to transmit, to the second traveling shaft, power from the second hydraulic clutch when the second hydraulic clutch is engaged and not to transmit, to the second traveling shaft, power from the second hydraulic clutch when the second hydraulic clutch is disengaged.

Provided are a touch panel system with improved indicator detection accuracy and an electronic information device provided with the touch panel system. A touch panel systemincludes: a touch panelprovided with a plurality of electrodes SL, DL; and an indicator position detection unitfor detecting a position of the indicator that is in contact with or close to the detection surface P, based on an output signal that is outputted by at least part of the electrodes SL, DL and shows a capacitance formed by the electrode SL. The touch panel system is characterized in that the indicator position detection unitcorrects detection sensitivity for each predetermined position within the detection surface P so as to correspond to a pattern of the electrodes SL, DL, and detects the position of the indicator within the detection surface P.

Touch panel system

A receiver apparatushas a digital circuit portionthat converts a compressed digital signal outputted from a digital demodulating portioninto digital video and audio signals and a video/audio output circuitthat converts the digital video and audio signals outputted from the digital circuit portioninto analog video and audio signals. With this configuration, a video/audio processing IC for digital signal processing no longer needs to be mounted on the circuit board of a video display apparatus, and thus a receiver system can be realized with a video display apparatus having a simple configuration.

Receiver apparatus and receiver system

In a conventional content transmission system, there has been a problem that it takes a long time from when a user, who tries to start viewing and listening of content, issues a command to a receiver by using a remote controller or the like until when the user can actually view and listen to the content from content viewing and listening equipment (content starting time). To this end, a content transmission system according to the present invention has a transmitter and a receiver including a human sensor and has a configuration that the state of the receiver is changed corresponding to a detection result of the human sensor so as to reduce the content starting time and power consumption.

Content transmission system

A plane-shaped lighting device has a light-directing plate and a light source that is placed in contact with or in the proximity of the light-incident surface of the light-directing plate, and the light source is constituted of a plurality of LED lamps each of which has an LED chip for emitting light and a semispherical lens for directing the light from the LED chip into the light-directing plate. Here, the distance from the LED chip to the top of the semispherical lens is set to be 1.8 times as long as the radius of curvature of the semispherical lens. This arrangement allows the light emitted from the LED chip to be efficiently incident on the light-incident surface of the light-directing plate, thereby improving the light-incidence efficiency to the light-directing plate. Further, the application of this plane-shaped lighting device to display devices makes it possible to improve the efficiency of light utilization, and consequently to provide thinner display devices with high visibility.
