  • Publication number: 20240184288
    Abstract: There is provided an information processing device to realize a rich motion expression of an autonomous mobile object by easier attitude control. The information processing device includes: a motion control unit that controls a motion of an autonomous mobile object, wherein the autonomous mobile object includes a wheel that can be stored inside a main body and that can be protruded to an outside of the main body, and the motion control unit keeps a standing state by making the wheel protruded to the outside of the main body and performs driving control of the wheel and attitude control of the autonomous mobile object in movement of the autonomous mobile object, and makes the autonomous mobile object remain still in a seated state during a stop thereof by storing the wheel inside the main body is provided.

  • Patent number: 4274482
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a heat exchanger-type laminated evaporator, in which a plurality of liquid passage pipe units are arranged in side-by-side relation to form flat liquid passage pipes which communicate at their ends, with enlarged portions forming reservoirs, each of which communicates through a perforation in the wall thereof with an adjacent liquid reservoir, thereby forming an inlet manifold and an outlet manifold and intermediate manifolds. Adjacent manifolds are separated from each other by a common imperforate wall and the imperforate walls at one end are staggered relative to those at the other end, so that refrigerant introduced into the inlet manifold flows through a set of the flat liquid passage in one direction and then through an adjacent set of flat liquid passage pipes in the other direction, and so on, until the outlet manifold is reached.
