Abstract: A dehumidifying element includes a plurality of sheets that have moisture adsorption and desorption properties and that are stacked on top of each another. At least some of the sheets each have an irregular shape. The sheets each contain a hygroscopic agent having properties of a re-moistening-type glue that exhibits adherence when adsorbing moisture and that solidifies when being dried. The sheets are bonded to each other by the hygroscopic agent.

Abstract: A heat exchange element includes a countercurrent portion including a plurality of partition plates each having a planar shape and a plurality of spacer plates each having a corrugated shape in cross section. The partition plates and spacer plates are alternately stacked such that corrugation directions of the spacer plates are aligned. A side surface of the countercurrent portion is formed by end portions defined by bending portions in each of which the partition plate and the spacer plate are overlaid. Since the heat exchange element according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is configured as described above, the heat insulation between flow paths of the heat exchange element and the outside air is improved, and heat exchange between fluid in the flow paths of the heat exchange element and the outside air is reduced. Consequently, the heat exchange element achieves improved heat exchange efficiency.

Abstract: A radar apparatus is provided. The radar apparatus includes a transmission and reception unit configured to transmit a close distance pulse signal, a medium distance pulse signal, and a far distance pulse signal in an order of the close distance pulse signal, the far distance pulse signal, the medium distance pulse signal, and then the far distance pulse signal, and receive reflection waves of the transmitted pulse signals, the far distance pulse signal having a wider pulse width than the close distance pulse signal, the medium distance pulse signal having a pulse width wider than the close distance pulse signal and narrower than the far distance pulse signal, and a signal processor configured to generate a radar image by using a first detection result and a second detection result.

Abstract: A radar apparatus for performing pre-distortion is provided, which has a configuration instantly transmittable of a transmission signal without distortion even in a case where a power is turned off. A radar apparatus (pulse compression radar) calculates a correction coefficient based on a transmission signal before distortion occurs therein and a transmission signal (feedback signal) outputted by a power amplifier. The radar apparatus corrects the transmission signal outputted by an ideal transmission signal memory while taking into consideration distortion that is caused in the amplification by the power amplifier, by using the correction coefficient. The radar apparatus includes a non-volatile memory configured to store the calculated correction coefficient as backup.

Abstract: Disclosed is a humidification device capable of satisfying both necessary and sufficient humidification abilities and energy conserving. A humidification filter unit is immersed into water and rotates to facilitate the absorption of water. When the time from stopping of the humidification operation to the restarting thereof is long and the amount of water absorption is insufficient, the humidification filter unit rotates continuously for a predetermined time when the humidification operation restarts, and then rotates intermittently. Meanwhile, when the time from stopping of the humidification operation to the restarting thereof is short and the amount water absorption is sufficient, the humidification filter unit rotates intermittently during the humidification operation. The rotating stop time of the humidification filter unit for each intermittent rotation is set depending on the air blowing quantity of a blower fan.
