Publication number: 20220341683Abstract: A heat exchanger (100) includes a flow path layer (10) in which a first flow path (11) extending in a first direction and a second flow path (12) extending in a second direction are disposed in the same layer. In each of the first flow path and the second flow path, a flow path cross-sectional area is reduced and expanded along an extending direction of the flow path. The first flow path and the second flow path intersect each other in the same layer in first portions (23, 33) of which the flow path cross-sectional area is reduced, due to displacement of the first portions (23, 33) in a third direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2020Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Kota FUJIWARA, Kazuya UMEYAMA

Patent number: 8547469Abstract: An electronic camera of the present invention includes: an imaging unit capturing a subject to generate an original image; a derivative image generating unit reducing resolution or color of the original image to generate a derivative image for transfer; a recording unit recording the original image and the derivative image thereon such that the original image and the derivative image get associated with each other; and a transfer unit transferring the derivative image recorded on the recording unit to an external transfer destination. In this configuration, the recording unit finds the derivative image (original image) by referring to the association with the original image (or derivative image), thereby collectively managing the original image and the derivative image. This makes it possible to prevent a user from being confused at image management due to the original image and the derivative image being the same image.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Nikon CorporationInventors: Satoshi Ejima, Kazuya Umeyama, Takumi Kawahara, Toshihisa Kuroiwa, Toshiaki Kobayashi, Hirotake Nozaki, Tomoaki Kawamura
