  • Patent number: 8891023
    Abstract: A display device includes: a monitor and receiving set having a video signal receiving section, a display section, an image quality control section, a first control signal transceiver, and a first control section; and a control and transmission set having a television broadcast receiving section, a video signal input section, a video signal transmitting section, a second control signal transceiver, a key input section, and a second control section. The Power consumption of a first radio transmission path formed by the video signal transmitting section and the video signal receiving section is larger than that of a second radio transmission path formed by the first and second control signal transceivers. A control signal for a user interface is communicated by the first and second control signal transceivers. Only the second radio transmission path of the first and second radio transmission paths is communicable in a standby state.

  • Patent number: 6431257
    Abstract: An air conditioning unit for a vehicle has a unit case enclosing a blower fan, a cooling heat exchanger (evaporator) and a heating heat exchanger (heater core), and defining therein an air conditioning passage for conveying air from the blower fan through the cooling heat exchanger and the heating heat exchanger, to an upper outlet opening. The air conditioning passage has an upstream passage section extending downward on a first side of the blower fan to convey the air from the blower fan downward, an intermediate passage section extending under the blower fan in a first direction from the first side to a second side of the blower fan, and a downstream passage section extending upward on the second side of the blower fan to the upper outlet opening for directing the air over the blower fan in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, from the second side toward the first side (toward the passenger compartment of the vehicle).

  • Patent number: 6230505
    Abstract: A heat pump type air conditioning system (A) for an automotive vehicle. The heat type air conditioning system (A) comprises a first unit (10) including a heater core (11) through which an engine coolant of an engine flows, and a first heat exchanger (12) which forms part of a refrigeration cycle including a compressor (1) and a first condenser (3), in which a refrigerant circulates in the refrigeration cycle. A second unit (20) is provided including a second condenser (21) and a second heat exchanger (22) which are fluidly connected in parallel with the first heat exchanger (12). A valve (V2) is fluidly connected in series with the second condenser (21) and disposed such that a part of the refrigerant is introduced through the valve into the second condenser (21) and the second heat exchanger (22).

  • Patent number: 6105666
    Abstract: Described is an apparatus for air conditioning a passenger compartment of an automotive vehicle which achieves a quick warming-up of the passenger compartment. In the air conditioning apparatus, in addition to a coolant of a vehicular engine which is utilized as a heat source of a heater core, a highly compressed refrigerant discharged from a compressor can be utilized as a heat source of a sub condenser which is disposed in an air passage of the air conditioning apparatus, during the inside air warming up in the passenger compartment. During the warming up operation, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is circulated through a bypass line bypassing a condenser disposed at a front part of an engine compartment and through the sub condenser and an evaporator.

  • Patent number: 6007300
    Abstract: A centrifugal multiblade fan comprises a plurality of curved blades which are circularly arranged about a common rotation axis at evenly spaced intervals defining a curved air flow passage between every neighboring blades. Each curved blade has concave front and convex rear surfaces which extend longitudinally in parallel with the rotation axis. A lower annular end plate is provided for putting thereon lower ends of the circularly arranged blades. A radially outside part of each curved blade has a radius of curvature which is greater than that of a radially inside part of the blade. A slit extends longitudinally parallel with the rotation axis at a radially inside portion of each blade.

  • Patent number: 5975191
    Abstract: A dual type vehicle air conditioning system has a rear air conditioning system for rear seats and a front air conditioning system for front seats. The rear conditioning system has a rear conditioner unit defining a main air passage for directing inside air through an evaporator and a condenser in sequence. The rear conditioner unit further has a bypass air passage for introducing the inside air to the condenser, bypassing the evaporator, and an exhaust air passage for directing the inside air from the evaporator to the outside of the vehicle.
