Abstract: A method monitors an air-conditioner having a semi-conductor gas sensor, the method including: determining that a refrigerant leakage has occurred on condition that the detection value is equal to or greater than a first threshold when the fan is in operation; starting operation of the fan as a provisional operation if the detection value is equal to or greater than a second threshold when the fan is not in operation; stopping the provisional operation of the fan; determining that a refrigerant leakage has occurred on condition that the detection value is equal to or greater than a third threshold after stopping the provisional operation of the fan; and taking a predetermined action for outputting alarm information and/or limiting supply of refrigerant to the heat exchanger when a refrigerant leakage is determined to have occurred.

Abstract: A lifting load attitude controlling system includes a lifting load pivoting clutch (20) provided between a gyro frame (1) and a gimbal frame (6) for connecting and disconnecting therebetween. Also, a resetting rotating clutch is provided between a resetting rotation driving portion constituted of a resetting oblique rotation driving motor (19) for rotating a gimbal (8) upon returning the gimbal (8) at an initial position and a worm gear, and the gimbal (8) for connecting and disconnecting therebetween. Upon obliquely rotating the gimbal for returning to the initial position, the resetting rotating clutch is placed in the engaged or connected state and the lifting load pivoting clutch is placed in the disengaged or disconnected state. When the resetting rotation driving motor (19) is driven at this condition, a gyro moment is generated upon obliquely driving the gimbal toward the gyro frame (1) (lifting jig 4) via a variable constant torque motor (19) between the gyro frame (1) and a gimbal frame (6).
