  • Patent number: 12066201
    Abstract: Provided is an air conditioning system capable of detecting in advance a device that consumes more power than the power that can be fed by a power feed unit. An air conditioning system includes a refrigerant cycle, a power feed unit, and a controller. The refrigerant cycle includes an outdoor unit and a plurality of indoor units. In a case where a power source for at least one indoor unit of the plurality of indoor units has been interrupted, the power feed unit feeds power from an auxiliary power source to the indoor unit for which the power source has been interrupted. When a predetermined device has been connected to at least part of the plurality of indoor units and the power feed unit, the controller performs deactivation of at least one of functions of the device.

  • Patent number: 10764459
    Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a main body, a document pressing plate, and a light shielding portion. The main body has an image obtaining portion which irradiates illumination light on a document placed on a contact glass and captures an image formed on the document. The document pressing plate is attached to the main body in such a way as to pivot around a pivot shaft that is provided on a rear side above an upper surface of the main body. The pivot shaft moves in an up-down direction with respect to the main body. The light shielding portion, when the document pressing plate presses downward the document, extends downward from the document pressing plate with increase of an interval between the document pressing plate and the upper surface on the rear side in the up-down direction, so as to shield the illumination light not to leak outside.
