Abstract: A water treatment device includes: an insulating divider which divides a space inside a water tank into two treatment vessels adjacent to each other in a horizontal direction, and includes a current carrier which is able to energize water in the two treatment vessels; a treatment unit including a pair of electrodes, a power supply, and a power supply controller; a water supplier which supplies water to each of the treatment vessels; and a draining member which drains water from each of the treatment vessels. The treatment unit includes a detector which detects a level of water in each of the treatment vessels based on an index corresponding to a current value between the pair of electrodes.

Abstract: A water treatment unit performs a normal operation during which discharge parts generate an electric discharge in a state where water flows into a treatment vessel and treated water flows out of the treatment vessel. When the water treatment unit starts operating, the water treatment unit performs a preparatory operation for a predetermined period of time before starting the normal operation. During the preparatory operation, the discharge parts generate an electric discharge in a state where an outflow of the water from the treatment vessel is stopped. As a result, the water which has been stagnating in the treatment vessel while the water treatment unit is not operating and in which bacteria have grown is sufficiently sterilized.

Abstract: The humidifier includes a humidification section which vaporizes water to produce humidified air, and a fan which produces in an air passage an air flow delivering the humidified air to the outside. The humidifier further includes a sterilized water producing section which produces sterilized water, an ultrasonic irradiator which produces sterilizing mist through ultrasonic irradiation of the sterilized water, an auxiliary passage through which the sterilizing mist is delivered to the outside, and an operation switching mechanism. The operation switching mechanism is switched between a first operation mode in which the air passage and the auxiliary passage communicate with each other to introduce the sterilizing mist into the air passage, and a second operation mode in which communication between the air passage and the auxiliary passage is blocked.

Abstract: A water treatment vessel (10) causes electric discharge in water stored therein to produce a sterilizing factor. The water treatment vessel (10) moves in accordance with the level of water in a reservoir (30) to be switched between a discharging state where the water treatment vessel (10) and the reservoir (30) have no communication, and a pair of electrodes (16, 17) are immersed in water in the water treatment vessel (10) to cause the electric discharge, and a draining state where the pair of electrodes (16, 17) come out of water in the water treatment vessel (10) to stop the electric discharge, and water flows out of the water treatment vessel (10) into the reservoir (30). The water supplier (20) supplies water to the water treatment vessel (10) in the draining state, and stop the supply of water to the water treatment vessel (10) in the discharging state.

Abstract: In a submerged discharge device, a pair of electrodes is arranged in a liquid in a reservoir to receive an alternating voltage from an alternating power source, thereby generating a submerged discharge using a discharger arranged in the liquid between the pair of electrodes. A surface of this pair of electrodes has a coating that ensures the submerged discharge generated by the discharger. This may reduce the area of contact between the surface of the pair of electrodes and the liquid in the treatment vessel to reduce the consumption of the pair of electrodes.

Abstract: During control ON of a brake control device, an ECU acquires a front wheel target braking force and a rear wheel target braking force from operation amount-front/rear wheel target braking force characteristics stored in a storage based on a master cylinder pressure detected by a master pressure sensor, and controls an oil pressure unit such that oil pressures corresponding to the acquired front wheel target braking force and rear wheel target braking force are respectively supplied to a front wheel brake and a rear wheel brake. During control OFF of the brake control device, oil pressures generated by a tandem master cylinder are directly supplied to the front wheel brake and the rear wheel brake. Hydraulic pressure control is performed such that operation amount-both wheels target braking force characteristics in a control ON state is equal to operation amount-both wheels target braking characteristics during a control OFF state.

Abstract: A water treatment system includes a water treatment unit and insulators. The water treatment unit is provided in an intermediate portion of a water passage allowing target water to flow, and produces bactericidal factors in the target water utilizing a discharge. The insulators are provided at an inflow side and an outflow side of the water treatment unit, respectively, and electrically insulate the water flowing to and out of the water treatment unit from the water treatment unit. The insulator at the inflow side sprays the target water to insulate the water. The insulator at the outflow side allows the target water to fall down from the water treatment unit to insulate the water.

Abstract: A lean angle detection sensor detects a lean angle of a vehicle. A storage portion stores a second relationship that represents a ratio of a braking force of a front wheel brake to a target braking force for each lean angle and/or a third relationship that represents a relationship with a ratio of the braking force of a rear wheel brake to a target braking force for each lean angle. A ratio setter determines which second relationship to refer to among the second relationships stored in the storage portion based on a detection result input to a detection result input portion and/or determines which third relationship to refer to among the third relationships stored in the storage portion based on a detection result input to a detection result input portion. The ratio setter sets a ratio of the braking force of the front wheel brake and the braking force of the rear wheel brake based on the second relationship and/or the third relationship.
