  • Publication number: 20020037244
    Abstract: The air cleaner comprises an air cleaner body, an air passage, a fan for forming air flow flowing in the air passage and a filter to which pollutant included in the air. The air cleaner body has fitting parts. When the turned angle of the grille with the body is small, a turning arm of the grille can be inserted or detached into/from the space between the fitting parts when the turned angle of the grille with the body is large, the grille is temporarily held in the air cleaner body by fitting the turning arm to the fitting parts. Further a photocatalytic holder containing a photocatalytic substance is provided in the air cleaner. A light emitting diode (LED) is provided for radiating light on the photocatalytic substance. Illumination of the LED is controlled in accordance with an actual voltage and the rated voltage of a power source.

  • Publication number: 20010006563
    Abstract: A CPU comprises means for receiving, when image deformation processing by a digital circuit is terminated, the degree of image deformation at the time of the termination from the digital circuit and storing the received degree of image deformation in a nonvolatile memory, and means for causing, when an image deformed state is returned to an initial state before the deformation by turning the power of a display device on or off, for example, the digital circuit to subject an input image to the image deformation processing until the degree of image deformation stored in the nonvolatile memory is reached on the basis of the degree of image deformation stored in the nonvolatile memory.

  • Patent number: 4669847
    Abstract: An automatic photographic processor having a filter provided in a circulating flow path of the processing liquid used in a developing tank. A control device calculates the total quantity of light-sensitive material processed by the liquid since the filter was last changed. The control device generates a warning signal when the total quantity reaches a predetermined value. An accoustical or optical warning device responsive to the warning signal indicates that the filter should be changed. A flowrate meter or pressure detection system in the circulating flow path checks the effectiveness of the filter and can also generate a warning signal for the warning device to indicate that the filter should be changed.
