A media transport system, includes a transport path, a drive gear at one end of the transport path, a driven gear at an opposite end of the transport path, an endless loop transmission element engaged with the drive gear and the driven gear, a media clamp secured to the endless loop transmission element, and a one-way clutch coupled with the driven gear. The endless loop transmission element is to rotate in one direction to move the media clamp and transport media from the one end of the transport path toward the opposite end of the transport path, and the one-way clutch is to allow rotation of the driven gear in the one direction and resist rotation of the driven gear in an opposite direction.

An area is set as an interference area, in which a transport vehicle is located in a state in which a portion of the transport vehicle overlaps a door trajectory which is a movement trajectory of a fire protection door. A control portion that controls a subject vehicle, which is a transport vehicle to be controlled, prohibits the whole subject vehicle from entering the interference area if it is determined, based on another-vehicle information, which is information of a traveling state of another vehicle that is different from the subject vehicle, and information regarding the interference area, that the interference area is present between the another vehicle located forward of the subject vehicle and the subject vehicle, and that a stoppable area is not secured between a rear end position of the another vehicle and the fire protection door.

A device and method for activating a conveyor device. An actual value for a pose of a device movable by the conveyor device by a magnetic force action is received. Depending on the actual value for the pose, as a function of a setpoint value for a torque, as a function of a setpoint value for a force, and as a function of a model, a setpoint value for the activation of at least one actuator of the conveyor device is determined. The model is trained to determine setpoint values for the activation of the at least one actuator as a function of actual values for poses of the device and as a function of setpoint values for torques and setpoint values for forces, using which the device is to be moved.
