  • Publication number: 20120156025
    Abstract: A centrifugal fan is provided. The centrifugal fan is configured such that an impeller having a plurality of blades along a circumferential direction and disposed between a disk-shaped main plate and an annular shroud is accommodated in a casing, and that an air suctioned from a suction opening is discharged outward in a radial direction of the impeller. One ends of the blades are supported by the main plate, and the other ends of the blades are supported by the annular shroud. The annular shroud includes a curved surface formed from an outer circumferential edge toward a center thereof, and a cylindrical part connected to the curved surface at a center side. An upper end of the cylindrical part of the annular shroud passes through an opening of the casing and protrudes from the casing, and the upper end of the cylindrical part has a bell mouth shape.

  • Publication number: 20120134795
    Abstract: A centrifugal fan is provided. The centrifugal fan is configured such that an impeller having a plural blades disposed between a disk-shaped main plate and an annular shroud along a circumferential direction is accommodated in a casing, and that an air suctioned from a suction opening is discharged outward in a radial direction of the impeller by a centrifugal force due to a rotation of the impeller, and thereby discharging the air from the casing. The casing includes an upper plate, a lower plate, and a plural supporting struts interposed between the upper plate and the lower plate, and lateral sides of the casing have only the supporting struts to form a discharge opening.

  • Publication number: 20110177795
    Abstract: A portable communication terminal transmits a request signal that requests voice data representing an email message, to a server apparatus when the portable communication terminal receives the email that has been sent to the portable communication terminal, and the portable communication terminal transmits the voice data received from the server apparatus, to an in-vehicle equipment. A server apparatus converts an email message that has been sent to a portable communication terminal, into voice data in response to a request signal received from the portable communication terminal, and the server apparatus returns the voice data to the portable communication terminal. The in-vehicle equipment detects a position of a portable communication terminal in a cabin, and the in-vehicle equipment outputs a voice message converted only from voice data representing an email message received by the portable communication terminal located in a specific position in the cabin, inside the cabin of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7617030
    Abstract: A seat sensor is arranged for each of a plurality of seats. A pulse-signal supplying unit supplies a pulse signal with a different timing to the seat sensor. An operator identifying unit detects, when a first operator sit on any one of the seats operates an operating unit, the pulse signal supplied to the seat sensor by the pulse-signal supplying unit through the first operator and the operating unit, and identifies the first operator based on a timing of a detected pulse signal. An operation control unit performs a control depending on an operation performed on the operating unit by a detected first operator.
