Abstract: In a communication system having a plurality of cellular telephones connected on a communication network, and a switching apparatus that manages communication functions usable in the plurality of cellular telephones, when the switching apparatus receives a communication request from a cellular telephone on the calling side, the switching apparatus determines communication functions usable in the cellular telephone to notify a cellular telephone on the receiving side, while determining communication functions usable in the cellular telephone to notify the cellular telephone, and the cellular telephones and on the calling side and receiving side display the communication functions usable in the cellular telephone as the communicating party notified from the switching apparatus, while registering the communication functions usable in the cellular telephone as the communicating party after finishing communication, respectively.

Abstract: There is provided a controlling apparatus for an air conditioner, which comprises: an inverter circuit for feeding as an output a pseudo-sine wave from a switching signal obtained by comparison between a modulated wave and a carrier wave; a refrigeration cycle device which has a compressor driven by the pseudo-sine wave from the inverter circuit so that the modulated wave is adjusted according to a load of an air conditioner; and a correction device for correcting an amplitude of the modulated wave into a smaller one at a predetermined time when a rated voltage of the power source from the inverter circuit is larger than a rated voltage by a first predetermined value, and correcting the modulated wave into a larger one at a predetermined time when a rated voltage of the power source from the inverter circuit is smaller than the rated voltage by a second predetermined value.

Abstract: There is provided a demand control apparatus which is less attenuated in the wall and which can be installed even after the completion of construction of a new house. The present invention comprises a demand control unit for converting a restriction signal for restricting an electric current flowing to a circuit breaker so as not to exceed a target current value into a radio signal composed of a predetermined format and then transmitting the same, and a control unit for performing a modification in a way to reduce power consumption of the air conditioner when the restriction signal from the demand control unit is judged to be effective to coincide with the format.

Abstract: An air conditioner which has a controller equipped with heat-producing electrical parts and in which the driving current of a compressor, etc., is controlled by the controller, includes a temperature sensor which is provided to or in the vicinity of at least one heat-sensitive electrical part (for example, a power transistor) of the electrical parts and adapted to detect the temperature of a heat-sensitive electrical part, and means for stepwise or linearly reducing the upper-limit value of the driving current of the compressor in accordance with the increase of the detected temperature when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is higher than a predetermined value.

Abstract: This invention aims to facilitate setting and modifications of characteristic data for microcomputers used for control of various types of air conditioner. A control device for the air conditioner comprises a microcomputer having a first ROM for storing a program for controlling operations of a compressor and a blower, a RAM for storing present data and various data associated with the operations and a CPU for executing the program. A second ROM is provided in the control device for storing specific data representing capacity of the components such as compressors and a blower, functions of the air conditioner, exclusive cooling or cooling/heating and so on.
