  • Patent number: 11945285
    Abstract: The air discharge device includes a duct defining: a main flow path through which an air flow passes; and a main hole opened in a flat shape to discharge the air flow as a working air flow toward a downstream from the main flow path. A throttle portion is provided in the duct to reduce a flow path height of the main flow path from an upstream of the air flow toward a downstream of the air flow. A plurality of partitions are arranged to divide the main flow path in a major direction into a pair of side flow paths and at least one center flow path. The plurality of partitions are disposed in the duct such that a flow path width of the center flow path is reduced from the upstream of the air flow toward the downstream of the air flow.

  • Publication number: 20240096333
    Abstract: An information processing device according to the present disclosure includes a detection unit and a control execution unit. The detection unit detects discontinuous points where a signal level of an input signal is discontinuous. The control execution unit performs predetermined control on a loss section that is a section between a first discontinuous point and a second discontinuous point detected by the detection unit. The predetermined control has a control start position at a point in time before the first discontinuous point by a first period and a control end position at a point in time after the second discontinuous point by a second period.
