  • Patent number: 11976831
    Abstract: A method monitors an air-conditioner having a semi-conductor gas sensor, the method including: determining that a refrigerant leakage has occurred on condition that the detection value is equal to or greater than a first threshold when the fan is in operation; starting operation of the fan as a provisional operation if the detection value is equal to or greater than a second threshold when the fan is not in operation; stopping the provisional operation of the fan; determining that a refrigerant leakage has occurred on condition that the detection value is equal to or greater than a third threshold after stopping the provisional operation of the fan; and taking a predetermined action for outputting alarm information and/or limiting supply of refrigerant to the heat exchanger when a refrigerant leakage is determined to have occurred.

  • Patent number: 10277492
    Abstract: Downlink signals output from a transmission and reception unit are combined with an interference signal of a CW, a resultant signal is applied to a mobile terminal, throughputs for respective interference signal frequencies for the downlink signals are collectively measured, a signal suppression band of the filter is fitted to a frequency band of the downlink signal determined not to reach a defined value, and re-measurement and re-determination of the throughput for the downlink signal among the collectively measured throughputs are performed. In a case where throughputs collectively measured at a certain interference signal frequency are equal to or greater than the defined value and a case where re-measured throughputs of all the downlink signals are equal to or greater than the defined value, the interference signal frequency is switched to the next interference signal frequency, and collective throughput measurement is performed.
