A deposit discharge system comprises: a discharge tube having a suction port opened so as to face a water bottom face of a water storing place on which deposits are deposited, a straight tube part extending upward from the suction port, and a discharge port communicating with the straight tube part and opened on the downstream side of the water storing place for draining the deposits together with water stream; a crane device suspending a whole main tube part of the discharge tube positioned in the water storing place in a state of being submerged and having a vertical moving mechanism vertically moving the suction port; and an air valve provided in the discharge tube for controlling introduction and exhaust of air from the discharge tube by opening and closing operation, wherein the discharge tube is installed so as to pass, when the deposits are discharged, through a dam banking in the water storing place routing a position lower than a water level of the water storing place.

Deposit discharge system and method of discharging deposit

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for determining a state of braking operation of a vehicle. Wheel speed sensors are provided for detecting wheel speeds of a front wheel and a rear wheel. A wheel speed difference is calculated between the wheel speed of the front wheel and the wheel speed of the rear wheel detected by the wheel speed sensors. A braking operation detection device is provided for detecting an operation of a brake pedal. Based upon the calculated wheel speed difference and the operation of the brake pedal detected by the braking operation detection device, it is determined whether the brake pedal was rapidly depressed. In accordance with this result, and in response to the wheel speeds detected by the wheel speed sensors, the braking force applied to the front wheel can be adjusted in a predetermined relationship with the braking force applied to the rear wheel.
