  • Patent number: 8903599
    Abstract: A failure determination device capable of performing failure determination for a shutter device of a vehicle with accuracy in a short time period. In an engine room of a vehicle, a condenser for a refrigeration cycle for an aircon is provided and at a front grille of the vehicle, a grille shutter device is provided for introducing ambient air for cooling the condenser into the engine room by opening a grille shutter. According to the failure determination device of the shutter device, a pressure of the refrigerant discharged from the condenser is detected as a refrigerant pressure. A failure of the grille shutter device is determined based on the refrigerant pressure, which changes at a large rate according to the opening/closing of the grille shutter, enabling failure determination with accuracy in a short time period.

  • Patent number: 7067179
    Abstract: A novel compound represented by the general formula (I), and a nematic liquid crystal composition incorporating the same. A compound represented by the general formula (I) can be produced industrially extremely easily, as shown in the examples, displays superior compatibility with current general purpose host liquid crystals as a nematic phase, and also shows little crystal precipitation at low temperatures. Moreover, by addition of a small amount of such a compound to a host liquid crystal, the liquid crystal temperature range at low temperatures can be effectively widened without any significant worsening of the various characteristics of the liquid crystal material. Consequently, a compound of the present invention is an extremely useful liquid crystal material which is suitable for various liquid crystal display elements which require a broad operating temperature range.
