Abstract: This hydrogen re-liquefaction system re-liquefies boil-off gas produced in a liquid hydrogen tank into liquid hydrogen and returns the liquid hydrogen to the liquid hydrogen tank, and includes: a delivery passage through which hydrogen to be delivered from the liquid hydrogen tank to a supply destination flows; a re-liquefaction passage through which the boil-off gas flows; and a re-liquefaction device that cools the boil-off gas flowing through the re-liquefaction passage and condenses the boil-off gas. The re-liquefaction device is a magnetic refrigerator that includes: a condenser provided in the re-liquefaction passage; and a heat dissipator provided in the delivery passage, cools the boil-off gas via the condenser by demagnetization, and releases heat generated during magnetization to the hydrogen via the heat dissipator.

Abstract: A stirring device includes the following. A rotating holder is capable of performing a rotating operation in a state where the rotating holder holds a cartridge that accommodates a liquid agent in which a solute is precipitated in a solvent by the liquid agent being left still. A drive motor causes the rotating holder to perform the rotating operation. A posture controller corrects a stop position of the rotating holder to position the cartridge in a first posture in a case where an operation of the drive motor is stopped in a state where the cartridge is in a second posture that is different from the first posture. The first posture is a state in which the cartridge is in a normal stop posture.

Abstract: An electronic wind instrument is provided with a processor (CPU 5) and plural touch sensors (a detecting unit 12s and detecting units 13s) disposed along a first direction. A first output variable da/dt is obtained, representing a variation per unit time of an output value from a first sensor (detecting unit 12s) in the plural touch sensors disposed on the side close to first end (tip side) in the first direction. A second output variable dS/dt is obtained, representing a variation per unit time of a sum of output values from second sensors (detecting units 13s) disposed between a second end (heel side) and the first sensor in the first direction. The processor judges based on the first output variable da/dt and the second output variable dS/dt whether a tonging process should be performed.

Abstract: Based on acceleration-sensor values from a three-dimensional acceleration sensor 23, CPU 21 of a performance apparatus 11 determines a timing at which a musical tone is generated. Further, based on the acceleration-sensor values of the acceleration sensor 23 given at a predetermined timing, for example, at a time when a player starts swinging of the performance apparatus 11, a roll angle of the performance apparatus 11 rotating about an axis in its longitudinal direction is calculated. A timbre of musical tones to be generated is determined based on the calculated roll angle.

Abstract: A performance apparatus 11 is provided with a first acceleration sensor 22 at its head portion and a second acceleration sensor 23 at its base portion. CPU 21 determines operation of the performance apparatus 11 during a period from the first timing to the second timing, based on a first acceleration-sensor value and a second acceleration-sensor value, and determines operation mode corresponding to the operation of the performance apparatus. Referring to a tone-color table stored in RAM 26, CPU 21 determines a tone color of musical tones to be generated, based on the determined operation mode.
