Abstract: An air-condition system includes an air-conditioner having a main blower, a main duct and a heat exchanger, a suction port disposed near a seat, and a sub duct of which one end is connected to the suction port. The air-conditioner suctions air into the main duct through the sub duct, and blows the air into the passenger compartment again. According to the air-condition system, the conditioned air blown out into the passenger compartment is suctioned from the suction port disposed near the seat. Therefore, the conditioned air is recovered and a flow of conditioned air backward from the suction port is restricted, so that comfortable zone air-conditioning can be done. It is unnecessary to provide a heat exchanger used only for zone air-conditioning and thereby simplicity of the system configurations and cost reduction can be brought.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are oral preparations and their production process. The oral preparations are each composed of a complex and a coating composition applied on the complex. The complex has been obtained by dispersing or dissolving a drug having an unpleasant taste and a gastric high-molecular compound in a low melting-point substance heated to and molten at its melting point or higher and granulating the resulting mixture. The coating composition is composed of an insoluble high-molecular compound and a disintegrator at a weight ratio of from 80:20 to 99:1. In the form of microparticles or the like that contain the drug having the unpleasant taste, each oral preparation according to the present invention can maintain the masking of the unpleasant taste of the drug and the release profile of the drug even under acidic conditions.

Abstract: A positioning system (1) provided with an actuator (2) having a wave gear device (4) is driven and controlled by a semi-closed loop control for controlling the load position of a load device (5) based on the motor position of a motor shaft (31) of a motor (3). In a method for compensating for an angular transmission error by compensating for a motor shaft synchronous component ?Sync that occurs in synchrony with the motor position and is a relative rotation-synchronous component that includes an angular transmission error component of the wave gear device (4), the positioning system (1) is represented as a two-inertia model, and the motor shaft synchronous component ?Sync is represented as an oscillation source for producing a twisting action between the two inertia bodies in the two-inertia model.

Abstract: The non-linear elastic deformation component included in the angular transmission error of an actuator provided with a wave gear drive is a component of the angular transmission error occurring due to elastic deformation of a flexible externally-toothed gear when the direction of rotation of the motor shaft changes. This component can be analyzed by driving the motor in a sine-wave shape. A model of the non-linear elastic deformation component (non-linear model) obtained from the analysis results is used to store data or a function for compensating for this component in a motor-control device. Compensation for the non-linear elastic deformation component (?Hys) is added to a motor-shaft angle command (?*M) as a compensation input (N?*TE) for feed-forward compensation. As a result, the non-linear elastic deformation component (?Hys) can be effectively reduced, and the positioning precision of the actuator can be improved.

A heating heat-exchanger is substantially horizontally disposed within the ascending air passage and arranged adjacent to a recessed portion of the wall and at least partially overlapping in the vertical direction with a cooling heat-exchanger disposed between the blower chamber and the heating heat-exchanger. A bypass air passage bypassing the heating heat-exchanger is substantially linearly aligned with the vent outlet via the ascending air passage. A foot vent passage is disposed above the heating heat-exchanger and between the blower chamber and the ascending air passage.

Abstract: A centrifugal multiblade blower includes a first counter-flow prevention means that prevents part of air flowing through a scroll chamber from flowing through a first aperture defined between a multiblade fan and a suction-side case plate of a scroll casing back to a suction port, and a second counter-flow prevention means that prevents part of air flowing through the scroll chamber from flowing through a second aperture defined between the multiblade fan and a motor-side case plate of the scroll casing back to the upstream side of the scroll chamber. A length L1 of the scroll chamber measured in the motor-shaft axial direction is dimensioned to be longer than a length L2 of the multiblade fan measured in the motor-shaft axial direction. Additionally the scroll chamber is gradually enlarged toward a discharge port of the casing.
