  • Publication number: 20230404408
    Abstract: A mirror system includes a mirror that reflects the user. An infrared camera serving as a temperature detection unit detects the body surface temperature of the user located around the mirror. A body temperature estimation unit estimates the body temperature of the user based on the body surface temperature. When the body temperature of the user is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, a notification unit makes a notification of high body temperature warning information indicating that the body temperature of the user is equal to or higher than the predetermined temperature.

  • Patent number: 11459106
    Abstract: An aircraft water supply system supplies water to a water discharge port in an aircraft. A cold water flow path supplies cold water to the water discharge port. A hot water flow path supplies hot water to the water discharge port. A first control valve adjusts the flow rate of cold water flowing through the cold water flow path. A second control valve adjusts the flow rate of hot water flowing through the hot water flow path. A flow sensor detects the flow rate of water at any point up to the water discharge port. A flow control unit controls the opening/closing state of the first control valve and the second control valve based on the water temperature detected by the flow sensor so that the amount of the water discharged from the water discharge port reaches a predetermined target flow rate.
