  • Publication number: 20240098005
    Abstract: A master station (111) and a slave station (121) each communicate an individually set, fixed number of communication frames in a cyclic period. The communication frame contains, as communication information, a sequence number and a period number. The master base station (113) and the slave base station (123) determine, upon communication of each communication frame in a wireless manner, if there is a missing communication frame on a basis of the communication information of a this-time communication frame and the communication information of a last-time communication frame. When there is a missing communication frame, a history management server (300) records communication history information of the last-time communication frame and of the this-time communication frame, as preceding/succeeding history information.

  • Patent number: 11440449
    Abstract: A seat air-conditioner includes an inlet portion, a blower, and a door device. The inlet portion is disposed inside a seat and defines a first inlet and a second inlet. The blower is disposed inside the seat. The door device is configured to be moved to open the first inlet while closing the second inlet and to close the first inlet while opening the second inlet. The first inlet is arranged such that an air drawn into the seat through a passenger supporting portion of the seat is drawn into the blower through the first inlet. The second inlet is arranged such that an air drawn into the seat through a portion of the seat other than the passenger supporting portion is more likely to be drawn into the second inlet than into the first inlet.
