Title: Method and System for Resolving Deadlocks in a System
Inventor: LEES-MILLER JOHN DAVID
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 2008-02-28
Abstract: A method resolves deadlocks in a system that synchronously controls movement of a plurality of objects such as autonomous guided vehicles (AGV) to and from a plurality of nodes or stations. The method allowing a first object to move to a destination node if the arrival time of the first object at the destination node is later than a departure time of a second object present at the destination node. Scheduled movement of the vehicles is to prevent any deadlocks and prevent any collisions. Preferably a remote waiting graph is constructed 1502 and a cycle detection is run 1504. If a cycle is detected, then for each pair of nodes in the cycle, the object that has been remote waiting the longest is chosen 1508. For each of the objects involved in the cycle, the earliest departure time and corresponding arrival time is determined 1510.Slots are booked for all objects in the cycle 1514 based on arrival and departure times. If any times collide then the booking tables are rolled back to their previous state step 1516.

Abstract: 577,003. Hydraulic controls. UNITED AIRCRAFT CORPORATION. June 8, 1940, No. 10053. Convention date, July 26, 1939. [Class 69 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXIII] In a closed hydraulic control system, temperature variations in the system are compensated for by arranging in the system a temperature compensating device 50 which is arranged to compensate for the difference in change of volume of the fluid and its container under variations of temperature. As applied to a system in which a fly-wheel speed governor 12 of the kind described in Specification 470;284, controls the pitch of a variable screw propeller of the kind described in Specifications 416,255 and 437,631, [both in Group XXXIII], the spring 28 of the governor is controlled by the action of the hydraulic fiuid on a piston 30 connected to an abutment 44 of the spring. The system is put under pressure by a piston 30 connected by a pipe 34 to a cylinder 36 fitted with a piston 38 adjustable by means of a screw 42 operable by a manual control 40 and a scale 48. The pipe 34 is connected by a pipe 56 to the temperature compensator 50 constructed of a cylinder 52 with a closed end 54 and fitted with a piston 58 connected by a rod 60 to an end plate 64 screwed to an extension 62 of the cylinder. The rod 60 and extension 62 are made of different materials selected so that their coefficients of thermal expansion cause the change of volume of fluid of the cylinder 52 to balance the change of volume due to the different expansion of the fluid between the pistons 30, 38 and the metal containing it.
