  • Publication number: 20240142550
    Abstract: A magnetic sensor includes a ceramic substrate, a GMR layer, and an undercoat layer. The ceramic substrate includes a substrate body and a glazing layer. The substrate body contains a ceramic as a material thereof. The glazing layer is formed on a surface of the substrate body. The GMR layer has a multilayer structure of a plurality of magnetic layers and a plurality of non-magnetic layers. The undercoat layer is formed between the glazing layer and the GMR layer. The undercoat layer contains a BCC solid solution.

  • Patent number: 11144024
    Abstract: A carbon dioxide sensor (92) measures the carbon dioxide concentration of inside air. An inside air control system (30) controls the carbon dioxide concentration of the inside air based on a measured value obtained by the carbon dioxide sensor (92). If the measured value obtained by the carbon dioxide sensor (92) returns to a predetermined normal range after falling outside the normal range, the controller (110) of the inside air control system (30) performs a determination operation. The determination operation is an operation for supplying outdoor air to the carbon dioxide sensor (92) to determine whether or not the carbon dioxide sensor (92) is normal.

  • Patent number: 10480846
    Abstract: A failure determiner is provided to perform a failure diagnosis to successively evaluate functions of the refrigerant circuit and components forming the refrigerant circuit for a plurality of evaluation items. If the failure diagnosis is interrupted, the failure determiner has a restarting function to restart the failure diagnosis from an intermediate point of the failure diagnosis.

  • Patent number: 9851136
    Abstract: In this container refrigerator, the permissible equivalent negative-phase-sequence current of a generator to be connected is calculated in Step S3 based on its capacitance. Next, in Step S4, the power consumption of an inverter device to generate the equivalent negative-phase-sequence current is calculated. Then, in Step S6, the equivalent negative-phase-sequence current generated by the container refrigerator is calculated based on the power consumption of this inverter device. Thereafter, in Step S9, It is compared to Itg. If It>Itg is satisfied, It is restricted until It?Itg is met by lowering the output frequency of the inverter device repeatedly in multiple stages. Consequently, even if the generator connected has small capacitance, the operation may be continued at a number of rotations appropriate for that small capacitance without causing the generator to overheat or be burned out.
