One or both of the first plate and the second plate include a refrigerant flow path. The control valve includes: a valve body that includes a refrigerant passage communicating with the refrigerant flow path, rotates in the first plate, and changes a flow of a refrigerant in the refrigerant flow path with an amount of rotation of the valve body; and a driver that adjusts the amount of the rotation of the valve body.

Abstract: An image processing device reduces influence from delay due to one or more post processors and efficiently utilizes resources of an image former, to improve productivity. The image processing device includes: a job taker configured to take a print job; and a print data producer configured to output print data to an image former, configured to form an image on a sheet, and control a cutter configured to cut, inline, the sheet having the image formed and the image former. When the job taker takes a first print job to use the cutter and then takes a second print job not to use the cutter, the print data producer executes the first print job concurrently with the second print job.

Abstract: A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable influence calculation program causes a computer to perform: acquiring a first communication history between a first person and a second person; acquiring a second communication history between the second person and a third person; and calculating an influence score of the first person on a plurality of persons including the second person and the third person, in accordance with information including the first communication history and the second communication history.

Abstract: A server includes a spooler which puts one or more jobs connected to one or more users in a spool queue; a user information receiver which receives from a printing apparatus, user information of a user who is logged on to the printing apparatus; a job search portion which finds one or more jobs connected to the logon user among the one or more jobs waiting in the spool queue, by using the user information received by the user information receiver; and a controller which controls such that the most recent job among the one or more jobs found by the job search portion is transferred to the printing apparatus and further controls, on the basis of one or both of: the job title of the most recent job; and the spool time the most recent job is put into the spool queue.

Abstract: A portable information device includes a controller. The controller executes: a pre-setting acquisition step of acquiring device identification information for identifying an image processing apparatus to execute a job and a unique setting value that is a setting value preset in the image processing apparatus; a setting step of setting a setting value; a job generation step of generating a job based on the set setting value; and a job transmission step of transmitting the generated job to the image processing apparatus specified by the device identification information acquired in the pre-setting acquisition step. The setting step includes an initial setting step of setting the acquired unique setting value in response to the unique setting value being acquired in the pre-setting acquisition step.

Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a pressing mechanism and a back-flow prevention mechanism. The pressing mechanism includes a back-pressure chamber facing a back surface of a movable-scroll end plate, and a back-pressure supply path arranged to allow the back-pressure chamber to communicate with a compression chamber which is in a state right before the compression chamber communicates with an outlet port or a state in which the compression chamber communicates with the outlet port. The back-flow prevention mechanism allows refrigerant of the back-pressure supply path to flow from the compression chamber to the back-pressure chamber, and prevents fluid of the back-pressure supply path from returning from the back-pressure chamber to the compression chamber.

Abstract: An information device includes a touch-sensitive panel that is used for display and operation; an operation check portion configured to check whether operation performed on the information device is first operation that is predefined operation or second operation other than the first operation; and a luminance setting portion configured to, when a luminance set value of the touch-sensitive panel is set at a low luminance value that is set for a case of power saving, and when the operation check portion checks that the operation performed on the information device is the first operation, remain the luminance set value unchanged, and, when the luminance set value is set at the low luminance value, and when the operation check portion checks that the operation performed on the information device is the second operation, set, as the luminance set value, a high luminance value greater than the low luminance value.

Abstract: A high-pressure, dome-type compressor includes a DC motor 5 having a rotor 5a that uses a rare earth/iron/boron permanent magnet having an intrinsic coercive force of 1.7 MA.m−1 or greater in a rotor thereof and has a rated output or 1.9 kW or higher. The motor, which drives a compression element 3 in a casing 2, is disposed in a high pressure, high temperature area 6, which is filled with gas discharged from the compression element. An inverter 10 controls current supplied to the motor such that the motor temperature becomes equal to or less than a predetermined temperature and an opposing magnetic field generated in a stator has a predetermined strength or less. Since the magnet does not reach a high temperature and is not exposed to a strong opposing magnetic field, it is hardly demagnetized. As a result, performance of the motor and of the compressor is stable.

Abstract: Spiral fixed scroll teeth (2a) project from an end plate (2b) of a fixed scroll (2), and spiral movable scroll teeth (4a) project from an end plate (4b) of a movable scroll (4). The end plate (4b) of the movable scroll (4) is provided with a discharge port (8) for discharging compressed refrigerant gas. A pressure chamber (16) is provided on the back surface of the end plate (2b). A port (10) communicating with the pressure chamber (16) is provided on a position of the end plate (2b) opposed to the discharge port (8). Thus obtained is a scroll compressor reducing pulsation when discharging a fluid by feeding the compressed fluid into the pressure chamber.

Abstract: There is provided a high-pressure dome type compressor which comprises a motor using a rare earth magnet and has stable performance. There are provided a compression element 3 and a DC motor 5 for driving the compression element 3 in a casing 2. The motor 5 is disposed in a high pressure area 6, which obtains a high temperature and high pressure due to a discharged gas. The motor 5 includes a rare earth/iron/boron permanent magnet having an intrinsic coercive force of 1.7 MA/m−1 or greater in a rotor and has a rated output or 1.9 kW or higher. An inverter 10 controls a current to be supplied to the motor 5 such that a temperature of the motor 5 becomes equal to a predetermined temperature or lower and that an opposing magnetic field generated in a stator of the motor 5 has a predetermined strength or less. Therefore, since the rare earth magnet of the motor 5 does not obtain a high temperature and is not exposed to a strong opposing magnetic field, the magnet is hardly demagnetized.
