Abstract: A working machine 1, such as a tele-handler, has a body 2 and a load handling apparatus 6, 7, coupled to the body. The load handling apparatus is moveable with respect to the body by an electrically driven actuator assembly 10. A controller (24 fig.2) receives a tilt signal and issues a control signal to an electrical drive element (25 fig.2) of the electrically driven actuator assembly based on the value of the tilt signal relative to a tilt threshold. The controller may reduce the speed of the of the drive element as the tilt threshold is approached and as the limit is reached may only allow movement in a direction that reduces the amount of tilt. The electrically driven actuator may also have a hydraulic actuator and pump (26 fig.2), the pump being driven by an electric motor (25 fig.2). The amount of fluid may be restricted by the amount of tilt which may have a different threshold depending on the orientation of the load handling apparatus.

Title: Generating a delta update
Inventor: Tapani Puhakka
IPC: G16Y30/00
Filed: 2019-11-08
Abstract: A method for constructing a delta update at a server wherein the server requests from each of a plurality of devices a portion of a software image to be used as a basis for the delta update 214-216, verifying the received portions 218 and then constructing a precursor software image based on the received portions 222. A delta update is then generated based on the constructed software image 224 which can be used to update the software of the devices 226. The devices may send a hash data structure such as a Merkle tree indicative of the received software image and the image stored at the device, the server comparing the hash data structures to identify mismatches between software images stored on the devices. The comparison can be made between three devices to identify the portion of the software image originating from a mismatched software image. If verification of a portion fails, the server may request the portion from a different device. An image size may be determined for the software image along with establishing a population number of the devices which can be used to calculate a number of target devices and a portion size to be requested.
