Abstract: By studying or storing refrigerating cycle characteristics of an air conditioning apparatus at the normal time and comparing them with refrigerating cycle characteristics acquired from the air conditioning apparatus at the time of operation, it becomes possible to exactly and accurately diagnose normality or abnormality of the air conditioning apparatus under any installation conditions and environmental conditions, which eliminates operations of inputting a difference between apparatus model names, a piping length, a height difference, etc at the time of apparatus installation. Accordingly, it aims at shortening the time of judging normality or abnormality, and improving the operability.

Abstract: [Problems] In a reduction in fluid pressure pulsation, a large space has been required for liquid expansion and a larger pressure loss has been involved. [Solving Means] A pressure pulsation reducing device has a flow path through which pressure pulsation is transmitted, an inner tube placed in the flow path and constructed so that most part of fluid flowing inside the flow path flows around the inner tube, and small holes provided in the inner tube for expelling jet flows into the flow path by a pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the inner tube. The jet flows are expelled from the inner tube to a contracted flow section provided around the outer periphery of the inner tube to reduce pressure pulsation of the contracted flow section.

Abstract: Air conditioning equipment that ensures sufficient noise reduction in the low frequency range of a few hundred hertz or below. The air conditioning equipment is characterized by including a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between air and refrigerant of a refrigeration cycle, a fan that supplies air to the heat exchanger, an air duct in which the fan is installed and through which acoustic waves are propagated, and a plurality of small holes that blows a jet into the air duct and sucks a jet from the air duct by a pressure difference between the blow side and the suction side of the fan.

Abstract: A discharge lamp ballast is designed to limit or interrupt its AC output power to the discharge lamp upon occurrence of an abnormal discharge outside of an arc tube. A detector is included to examine a lamp voltage once in each of the positive and negative half-cycles or in each one complete cycle of the AC output power, and identifies the abnormal discharge when there is a particular change in the monitored lamp voltage. The particular change may be defined by a single logic or by combination of several logics each designed to represent specific characteristic for the abnormal discharges of several types.

Abstract: Mobile equipment includes LEDs supplied with a current to emit red light, green light and blue light, FETs and a booster circuit for controlling the current supplied. The current supplied is controlled to supply all of the LED with a current of a low level to illuminate an object in a shooting mode with light for illumination. Thus in the shooting mode a white spot light illuminates the object, and the object can clearly be confirmed. At the moment of shooting, a current supplied can be increased at a burst to emit white flashlight to illuminate the object. A satisfactory image can thus be obtained. The source of light for illumination can be formed of miniature, light-weight LED, and does not impair in mobility mobile equipment having the source of light incorporated therein.

Abstract: An electrical connection box includes a housing having a bottom plane with a recessed part at which the bottom plane is at least partially depressed; a circuit substrate accommodated into the housing to be overlapped on the bottom plane, the circuit substrate having a hole connectable to an inside of the recessed part of the housing and a space above the circuit substrate; and a potting material filled so that the circuit substrate can be buried into the housing. The hole is formed at a position corresponding to the recessed part of the housing.

Abstract: There is provided a joint structure of a wound iron core in which iron core characteristics can be enhanced by improving the distribution of magnetic flux within an iron core. A wound iron core is formed to provide a joining structure or a butt joining structure and a lap joining structure disposed in an appropriate arrangement in which the a margin of overlapping is more increased as being closer to an outer periphery from an inner periphery of the iron core, taking a distribution of magnetic flux density within the iron core into consideration.

Abstract: In a vehicle air conditioner where a foot mode and a foot/defroster mode can be set, when a target temperature of air blown into a passenger compartment is higher than a predetermined temperature, the foot mode is selected. However, even if the target temperature of air is higher than the predetermined temperature, the foot/defroster mode is selected in place of the foot mode when an outside air temperature is lower than a predetermined temperature and when a vehicle speed is higher than a predetermined speed. In the vehicle air conditioner, because the foot/defroster mode can be suitably automatically selected based on a fog-generation condition of a windshield, both fog-preventing performance of the windshield and heating performance of the passenger compartment are improved during heating operation.
