  • Publication number: 20030029609
    Abstract: In a vehicle air conditioner having an actuator for driving an air mixing door and mode switching doors, an automatic range and a manual range are set in different operation angle ranges of an operation angle of the actuator. In the automatic range, an air outlet mode is automatically switched in accordance with an opening degree of the air mixing door. On the other hand, in the manual range, a multi-mode or a defroster mode is manually set, regardless of the opening degree of the air mixing door. In the manual range, air is simultaneously blown from all openings such as a face opening, a foot opening and a defroster opening in the multi-mode, and air is blown from the defroster opening in the defroster mode.

  • Patent number: 6478671
    Abstract: An air-conditioning system alternately produces a cooled air stratum and a heated air stratum as viewed from an air outlet opening, and the guide length a1 of a first guide wall is set from 0.05 time or more to 0.5 times or less than the length L1. The guide length a2 of a second guide wall is set from 0.05 time or more to 0.5 times or less than the length L2. Consequently if the air mixing chamber has a small capacity (the length parallel to the direction of air flow), it is possible to mix the heated air and the cooled air sufficiently.

  • Publication number: 20020160808
    Abstract: Either a first memory card (13) for storing subscriber's information indispensable for communication, such as information on contract with a communication carrier or information to identify the user as a subscriber or a second memory card (15) for mainly storing application programs is selectively connected to a mobile radio apparatus. When the second memory card is installed, a main control unit (16) transfers the subscriber's information stored in the first memory card to the second memory card. Based on the subscriber's information, the main control unit receives the incoming call signal from a base station and informs notice of an incoming call. To speak by telephone, the second memory card is replaced with the first memory card, which makes it possible to talk over the telephone. Therefore, it is possible to provide an expandable mobile radio apparatus that enables functions to be added at the user's request.

  • Publication number: 20020145309
    Abstract: An air-conditioning duct structure is included in a vehicular dash beam member. Material for the duct is made of a heat insulating and sound absorbing material and is adhered onto the surface of a sheet material for the beam member which is then bent into a semi-tubular shape so that the material for the duct is positioned inside thereby forming beam member bodies. Beam member bodies are combined by joining their joining surfaces that face each other to thereby form a tubular closed sectional shape. Achieving vibration attenuation, noise absorption and the heat insulating functions with an inner surface sheet member of an air conditioning duct is achievable. An air conditioning duct extending across a vehicle's width is formed by joining a metal reinforcing member and a resin cover. The sheet member is put between the reinforcing member and the cover.

  • Publication number: 20020077147
    Abstract: A portable wireless communication terminal having a wireless communication function and a music recording and/or replaying function determines whether the wireless communication function is to be disable or not when an user selects the music recording/replaying function. The wireless communication function is enabled or disabled based on a result of the determination. More particularly, noise interference to the music recording/replaying function is alleviated by decreasing a transmitting power of the portable wireless communication terminal by a predetermined amount during music recording/replaying operation.

  • Patent number: 6397609
    Abstract: In a vehicle air-conditioning system, plural electrical members such as a blower controller, servomotors and a post-evaporator temperature sensor are collectively disposed on an electrical circuit board integrally formed with an evaporator case cover for closing a side surface of an evaporator case. Therefore, a wire structure of an electrical connection or a wire harness can be made simple. Further, because an elastically deformable sensor-pressing portion for pressing the post-evaporator sensor toward an evaporator side surface is integrally formed with the evaporator case cover integrated with the electrical circuit board, a contact pressure of a temperature sensitive portion of the post-evaporator sensor onto the evaporator side surface can be maintained.

  • Publication number: 20020059689
    Abstract: In the invention, a brush body 30 that is rotated and driven by a motor 32 is disposed in a suction unit 2, and dust is sucked from the suction unit 2 by a blower 4, while exhaust of the blower 4 is sent to the suction unit 2 side through an exhaust passage 27. While the exhaust of the blower 4 is blown to the motor 32 exhaust is blown to the floor for lifting the dust from the floor to enhance the dust collection efficiency, and moreover, if the output of the motor 32 for driving the brush 30 is increased, temperature rise of the motor 32 can be suppressed, and thus durability may be enhanced.
