Abstract: A mobile body system for managing a mobile body that moves within a predetermined area includes a mobile body associated with a guest group including one or more guests, and a managing apparatus configured to manage an outer appearance of the mobile body. The managing apparatus includes an activity collector configured to collect activity information indicative of an activity of the guest within the predetermined area, and an outer appearance manager configured to change the outer appearance of the mobile body viewed by the guest based on the activity information collected by the activity collector.

Abstract: A fridge-freezer equipped with a deodorizing unit which has a filter including photocatalyst and a light emitting unit including an LED as a light source mounted on a substrate. The fridge-freezer is designed to solve problems posed by conventional fridge-freezers. One of the problems is that in the case of using a glass-tube type lamp such as a black light or a cold cathode tube as the light source, the light source becomes large in size which requires a large space for installation. This does not allow the deodorizing unit to be installed in the compartments in the refrigerator. Another problem is that the deodorizing unit was not designed to be safe for food in case that part of the deodorizing unit is damaged to give harmful damage to food.

Abstract: An odorless refrigerator with a deodorizing function free from insufficient refrigeration, which is provided with a deodorizing device operable with a stable deodorizing performance for a long time, simply structured, small-sized, and provided at a low cost. The refrigerator includes a draft air duct as a passage of refrigerated air blown off forcibly by an inside fan to the compartments, a damper in the draft air duct and opens/closes to allow/prevent the supply of refrigerated air to the compartments, a bypass channel in the draft air duct between the damper and a cooling device for returning refrigerated air from the cooling device to the cooling device, and a deodorizing device in the by-pass channel for deodorizing refrigerated air supplied to the compartments. The refrigerated air inside the draft air duct between the damper and the cooling device is forcibly blown off through the bypass channel by closing the damper.

Abstract: A cold deep hole forming device is capable of forming, by cold forging a deep hole for an involute spline, etc. with high accuracy and in a simple way, even in a member to be formed that is partially different in thickness. A supporting base 1A supports the member W to be formed and a punch 1B forms the deep hole H in the member W. A clamp holder 3 is provided on the outer circumference of the punch 1B. A clamp 2 is composed of split clamping pieces 21 disposed in the clamp holder 3. When forming deep hole H in the member W with the punch 1B, the clamping pieces 21 are made to move in the direction of the center under fluid pressure so as to constrain the member W to be formed at its outer circumference having a small diameter portion WT.

Abstract: A refrigerator having a main body; a refrigerating compartment arranged at an upper position in the main body to refrigerate foods; and at least three lower compartments vertically arranged under the refrigerating compartment; wherein at least one of the lower compartments is a freezer compartment for freezing foods, and one of the remaining lower compartments is a vegetable compartment to store vegetables or a switchable compartment to make a temperature zone therein switchable between a freezing temperature zone and a temperature zone for refrigerated foods, vegetables or chilled foods.

Abstract: To provide a refrigerator capable of uniforming the temperature in the refrigerator by rapidly lowering the temperature at the door side of the refrigerator when the temperature rises by opening and closing a refrigerator door. Therefore, a cold air channel 18 is provided for the side of a refrigerator 6 separately from a cold air channel 11 at the back of the refrigerator 6 to control the amount of cold air supplied from side cold-air blowoff ports 23 by a side temperature sensor 20 and a side temperature damper 19.

Abstract: In a freezer-equipped refrigerator, a refrigerating chamber or freezing chamber is divided into a plurality of sections having substantially same temperature zone. A temperature element is provided in each section, and an open/close damper and a duct for supplying cool wind for each section are also provided. In such a structure, control is made on whether or not cool wind should be supplied or not in accordance with a detected temperature.
