The control unit controls operation of the power converter in accordance with an air-conditioning condition of an air conditioner.

Abstract: A fitting device includes a connection terminal, a tubular housing that covers an outer circumference of the connection terminal, a rubber ring attached to an outer circumferential surface of the housing, and a retainer that prevents the rubber ring from being dislodged. The retainer includes a tubular main body portion, and a plurality of arm portions extending from the main body portion in a front-rear direction. Each arm portion includes an extension portion extending from the main body portion toward the rubber ring in the front-rear direction, a first projection protruding from the extension portion toward an inner circumferential surface, and a second projection protruding from the extension portion toward the outer circumferential surface of the housing. An amount of insertion of the second projection into the recess is larger than a gap between a protruding end of the first projection and the inner circumferential surface.

Abstract: A method of controlling an image forming system, the method including: determining whether or not a connection state enabling communication between an image forming apparatus and a second operation device has been established, in a case where an instruction is issued from a first operation device to the image forming apparatus; and displaying, in a case where it is determined in the determining that the connection state has been established, on a display of the first operation device, a selection screen for selection of whether or not the image forming apparatus is to be allowed to operate according to the instruction.

Abstract: A controller determines that a signal from an operating device represents either a normal operation to manually control a blade or a trigger operation to automatically control the blade. The controller moves the blade so that the angle of the blade is changed in accordance with the operation of the operating device when the signal from the operating device is determined as representing a normal operation. The controller moves the blade until the angle of the blade reaches a predetermined target angle when the signal from the operating device is determined as representing the trigger operation while the bulldozer is traveling.

Abstract: A shield connection structure includes a shielded cable 20, a conductive interposing members 40 to be mounted on the shielded cable 20, a conductive inner shell 50 for covering the interposing member 40, a conductive annular outer shell 60 for covering the inner shell 50, and a retainer 80 made of synthetic resin and to be mounted in the outer shell 60. The interposing member 40 contacts an electromagnetic shield member 23 exposed from an insulation coating 24 and the inner shell 50 and electrically connects the electromagnetic shield member 23 and the inner shell 50. The inner shell 50 contacts the interposing member 40 and the outer shell 60 and electrically connects the interposing member 40 and the outer shell 60. The retainer 80 holds the inner shell 50 with the inner shell 50 held in contact with an inner surface of the outer shell 60.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion that forms an image on a recording medium, a display portion that displays information regarding image forming with the image forming portion, a memory storing instructions, and a controller, which executes the instructions, that detects a position of an instruction portion in contact with a surface of the display portion and generate first input information indicating the detected position of the instruction portion, and detects a position of the instruction portion at a location a predetermined distance away from the surface in a direction orthogonal to the surface and generate second input information indicating the detected position, and transitions the image forming apparatus into a first input mode for generating the first input information without generating the second input information and transition the image into a second input mode for generating the second input information without generating the first input information.
