  • Publication number: 20240117984
    Abstract: Provided is an air conditioner including an indoor unit provided with a microphone element for receiving voice instructions, such that a voice instruction spoken by an operator is acquired with high quality and control based on the voice instruction spoken by the operator is likely to be ensured. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit, a transmission unit, and a reception unit. The indoor unit has a main body and a microphone element. The main body has formed therein a blow-out port through which air-conditioned air is blown out toward a space to be air-conditioned. The microphone element accepts a voice instruction captured from a voice capturing portion arranged at a position that deviates from a ventilation space through which the air blown out from the blow-out port flows, in such a manner as to face the space to be air-conditioned. The transmission unit transmits the voice instruction accepted by the microphone element to an outside as a signal.

  • Patent number: 11920553
    Abstract: A hydroelectric power generation system includes a water turbine disposed in a channel that carries a flow of a fluid, a generator driven by the water turbine, and a controller that performs a first control. The channel includes a first channel located on an inflow side of the water turbine. The controller controls, in the first control, a flow rate or a head of the water turbine so that any one of a pressure of the fluid in the first channel, a flow rate of the fluid in the first channel, and a liquid level of the fluid in a first reservoir from which the fluid flows out to the first channel approaches a first target value.

  • Publication number: 20240066149
    Abstract: The invention provides a nucleic acid molecule comprising a gene encoding a fusion protein of a ligand and a protein having physiological activity, to be used for expressing the fusion protein in cells, tissue or the body. The invention further provides a nucleic acid molecule comprising the fusion protein-encoding gene, which is in the form of a plasmid, in a form encapsulated in a recombinant virus virion, or a form encapsulated in liposomes or lipid nanoparticles. The invention further relates to the use of a medicine which is a nucleic acid molecule comprising the fusion protein-encoding gene.

  • Publication number: 20240012880
    Abstract: A data processing method includes a step of obtaining evaluated values of the time-series data by comparing the time-series data with reference data, a step of classifying the evaluated values into a plurality of levels, a step of displaying an evaluation result screen including a display area including a first graph showing an occurrence rate of each level of the evaluated values, the evaluation result screen including the display area with respect to each of the two or more processing units. A history screen displaying a history in which the evaluated values have been obtained and a trend screen including graphs showing temporal change in the evaluated values in addition to the evaluation result screen is hierarchically displayed. A mark is attached at a position corresponding to a processing result selected in the history screen in a graph in the trend screen.

  • Patent number: 11829451
    Abstract: A data processing method includes a step of obtaining scores of time-series data by comparing the time-series data with reference data in order to process time-series data acquired in a substrate processing apparatus having one or more processing units, a step of classifying the scores into a plurality of levels, and a step of displaying an evaluation result screen including a display area including a graph showing an occurrence rate of each level of the scores, the number of occurrences of each level, and a graph showing temporal change in the number of occurrences of a worst level of the scores when substrates have been processed through a predetermined method with respect to each of the two or more processing units. Accordingly, a data processing method through which a state of the substrate processing apparatus can be easily ascertained is provided.

  • Patent number: 4910577
    Abstract: In a lead frame having a number of square dimples arranged on the rear side of a bed portion in a lattice form of a pitch t, each side of the square dimples is disposed to form a predetermined angle relative to either of X--Y axes of the lattice extending in lateral and longitudinal directions of the bed portion. The square dimples may be provided at entire intersecting points between two sets of lines extending in parallel with the X and Y axes, or every other intersecting points of the same, so that an equal pitch of t or 2t is maintained between the dimples arranged in X and Y directions.
