  • Publication number: 20240247875
    Abstract: A heat exchanger configured to cause a refrigerant to exchange heat with a heat medium, includes: plates stacked on top of one another. A first flow path and a second flow path are formed between the plates. The refrigerant in a two phase state flows through the first flow path and the heat medium flows through the second flow path. Each of the plates includes: a first inlet from which the refrigerant flows into the first flow path; and a first outlet from which the refrigerant flows out of the first flow path. In each of the plates, when viewed in a direction in which the plates are stacked, the first inlet has line symmetry with respect to a center line in a width direction of the each of the plates, and the first outlet has line symmetry with respect to the center line.

  • Patent number: 9554044
    Abstract: An image quality adjustment apparatus obtains correction data for correcting display unevenness of a display panel by capturing an image of the display panel using a camera, and includes a moire frequency control unit that performs a control to position the display panel and the camera at a predetermined relative angle with respect to each other, an unevenness measurement unit that measures the display unevenness of the display panel based on the image captured by the camera, and a correction data generation unit that generates the correction data based on the unevenness measured by the unevenness measurement unit. Arranging the panel and the camera at the predetermined relative angle shifts a spatial frequency component of a moire pattern occurring in the image captured by the camera out of a region where a spatial frequency component of the display unevenness is present, and removes an influence of the moire pattern.
