Abstract: An air-conditioning system includes equipment, the equipment including one or more pieces of equipment, a high level device configured to control the equipment, a storage device configured to store an update program for updating a control program of an update target device corresponding to the high level device or the equipment and a pre-update program of the update target device, the update program and the pre-update program being previously stored in a server that is externally disposed, an information obtaining unit configured to obtain the update program from the server and also obtain the pre-update program from the update target device, and store the update program and the pre-update program in the storage device, a comparison determination unit configured to compare a version of the update program with a version of the pre-update program, and an update execution unit configured to update, when the version of the pre-update program is older than the version of the update program, the control program of

Abstract: In an air-conditioning apparatus and a method of detecting an abnormality in a transmission line, the air-conditioning apparatus includes plural facility apparatuses which are connected to each other by a transmission line and communicate with each other. One of the plural facility apparatuses includes: a transmission circuit including an abnormality detection comparator which detects an abnormality in the transmission line, the transmission circuit being provided to detect the abnormality in the transmission line; and a data storage device which stores a reception signal and signal voltage wave-height information indicating that the abnormality in the transmission line is detected. The transmission circuit further compares a voltage value of a reception signal received from another of the plural facility apparatuses through the transmission line with a threshold value set in advance in the abnormality detection comparator.

Abstract: A method of refilling liquid into a cartridge according to the present invention is a method of liquid refilling, through which liquid is refilled into a used cartridge (1) in a liquid jet apparatus, comprising: a film removing process, in which an injection hole film (90) adhered around an air discharge opening (21), which communicates with the interior of the used cartridge (1), to seal the air discharge opening (21) is removed in order to make the air discharge opening (21) open; a liquid injecting process, in which liquid is injected into the used cartridge (1) through the air discharge opening (21) that has been made open in the injection hole film piercing process; and an injection hole film rewelding process, in which the film is rewelded using a surface other than an originally welded surface as a rewelded surface in order to seal again the air discharge opening (21), through which the liquid is injected in the liquid injecting process.
