  • Patent number: 10621965
    Abstract: The present invention provides an acoustic apparatus which can be attached to the musical instrument without adding processing to reproduce. After the acoustic apparatus is detached, the user can enjoy playing the musical instrument itself same as before the acoustic apparatus is attached. An acoustic apparatus 1 has a vibration generator 2, a support body 3, a locking portion 4 and a drive circuit 5. The acoustic apparatus 1 is locked to a neck holder 301 of a stand 300, and a diaphragm 201 of the vibration generator 2 is arranged to face a sound hole 109 of a guitar 100. The drive circuit 5 drives the vibration generator 2 according to the inputted sound signal to resonate a sound box 103. Thus, rich sound can be reproduced.

  • Publication number: 20160118617
    Abstract: An organic EL element (10) includes a first electrode (110), an organic layer (120), and a second electrode (130). The organic layer (120) is located between the first electrode (110) and the second electrode (130). The second electrode (130) includes Ga in the vicinity of an interface with the organic layer (120). The second electrode (130) includes, for example, a Ga-containing layer (132) and a conductive layer (134). In the Ga-containing layer (132), an element having a highest content rate is Ga. The Ga-containing layer (132) is, for example, a thin Ga layer.

  • Patent number: 8978402
    Abstract: A heat pump apparatus includes: a refrigerant circuit which includes a compressor, a utilization-side heat exchanger for exchanging heat between water and refrigerant, an electronic expansion valve, and an outdoor heat exchanger; a controller which controls the compressor and the electronic expansion valve; a subcooling value calculating unit which calculates a subcooling value of the refrigerant circuit; a condensing pressure detector which detects condensing pressure of the compressor; a compressor rotation number detector which detects rotation number of the compressor; and an objective subcooling value extracting unit which selects and extracting an objective subcooling value stored in advance, from the condensing pressure and the rotation number of the compressor. The controller adjusts an opening degree of the electronic expansion valve so that the calculated subcooling value of the refrigerant circuit reaches the objective subcooling value.

  • Patent number: 6571728
    Abstract: An apparatus and a process for producing an organic electroluminescent display without deteriorating its luminous efficiency are provided. The apparatus according to the present invention, in which a metal electrode is formed by electron beam evaporation method, contains a device for preventing secondary electrons generated at an evaporation source from reaching a display board. Thus, a layer of organic electroluminescent material formed on the display board is not damaged by the secondary electrons, thereby a luminous efficiency of the layer of organic electroluminescent material can be kept high without being deteriorated.
