  • Publication number: 20230059108
    Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to perform good illumination and obtain a good captured image when a plurality of users each having a camera-equipped portable information terminal device gather in the same place. A camera-equipped portable information terminal device is provided with: an imaging unit that captures an image of a subject; a first illumination means for illuminating the subject; a first communication unit that communicates with other portable information terminal devices; and a first control unit that controls the imaging unit and the first communication unit. The first control unit transmits a light emission instruction signal to the other portable information terminal devices via the first communication unit, and causes a second illumination means of each of the other portable information terminal devices to emit light in tandem with an imaging operation of the imaging unit.

  • Publication number: 20230058792
    Abstract: One or more methods of designing microchannel fluid flow networks in a fuel cell bipolar plate includes executing one or more programs on one or more computing devices having one or more processors to optimize the spatially varying orientations of homogenized anisotropic porous media by iteratively executing a gradient-based algorithm that incorporates objective functions of reaction uniformity and flow resistance, and then generate, in response to the homogenized anisotropic porous media optimization, one or more microchannel fluid flow networks by dehomogenizing the optimized anisotropic porous media.

  • Publication number: 20230031520
    Abstract: In a vehicle air conditioner, a controller is configured (i) to set a target cooling temperature of air cooled by a cooling heat exchanger, (ii) to control an operation of a compressor based on a cooling temperature and the target cooling temperature of the cooling heat exchanger, and (iii) to determine a traveling state of the vehicle. The controller is configured to set a normal target temperature as the target cooling temperature when the vehicle is traveling with a normal condition, and to set a modified target temperature higher than the normal target temperature as the target cooling temperature when the vehicle starts decelerating. In addition, the controller is configured to cause the compressor to stop operating when the vehicle starts decelerating, and to cause the compressor to restart operating when the cooling temperature detected by a temperature sensor is equal to or higher than the modified target temperature.
