Abstract: Proposed are a refrigeration cycle apparatus and a leakage inspection method for refrigerant piping of a refrigeration cycle apparatus, in both of which leakage inspection of joints of the refrigerant piping can be readily performed regardless of where the joints of the refrigerant piping are provided, including a space being hard-to approach, inaccessible, and extremely narrow. A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes: a plurality of pipe materials; refrigerant piping including a joint that joins the pipe materials by brazing or welding; and a piping cover that covers at least part of the refrigerant piping including the joint and has a leakage inspection port that allows a gas to flow out from the inside to the outside.

Abstract: An antenna module which is disposed on an inside of an outside handle of a vehicle door, includes: a magnetic core; a coil into which the magnetic core is inserted; a circuit substrate to which the coil is connected; a base which holds the magnetic core and the circuit substrate; a plurality of conductors of which at least a portion is embedded in the base and which are connected to the circuit substrate; and a sealing portion which seals the coil, in which the base includes a connector portion, a core accommodating portion which accommodates the magnetic core and which is inserted into the coil, and a substrate accommodating portion which accommodates the circuit substrate.

Abstract: There are provided a touch panel apparatus and a method for detecting a distance between touch input points of a touch panel, with which it is possible to detect the distance between two points with accuracy, when two points are touched on the touch panel. Whether or not two points are touched on the touch panel TP is determined based upon a resistance value between terminals opposing each other. When it is determined that two points are touched, the distances between touched two points XDual and YDual are detected. In this situation, the distances between touched two points XDual and YDual are detected based upon the resistance value of the opposing terminals and a pressing force (contact resistance value) of the touch input points.
