Abstract: A refrigeration cycle apparatus, in which demand control is performed to adjust electric power, includes: a compressor, a driving rotation speed; a recording device that records, as data, a relationship between the driving rotation speed of the compressor and a temperature difference between a set temperature and a detected temperature, the set temperature being set as desired as a temperature control target for a temperature adjustment target, and the detected temperature being detected by a temperature detecting device disposed at a position at which a temperature of the temperature adjustment target is detected; and a main controller that, in response to a request for the demand control, calculates the temperature difference between the set temperature and the detected temperature, retrieves, from the recording device, data of the driving rotation speed of the compressor corresponding to the calculated temperature difference, and controls the compressor based on the retrieved driving rotation speed.

Abstract: A controller converts a detection result of an infrared sensor into overall thermal image data representing a temperature distribution within an infrared detection range of the infrared sensor, calculates, based on the overall thermal image data, a floor area of an air-conditioned space, and obtains, based on the overall thermal image data, floor thermal image data including a plurality of element data items each including coordinates within the floor area and a floor temperature within the floor area associated with the coordinates. The controller determines the presence or absence of a floor heating device in the air-conditioned space. When the controller determines the presence of the floor heating device, the controller determines, based on data that is included in the floor thermal image data and corresponds to an installation region of the floor heating device, an operation state of the floor heating device.

Abstract: The virtual shape of knit product comprising plural parts and mutually divided in the knit data is simulated. The connection information regarding how said parts are mutually connected is obtained based upon the knit data or the pattern data of the knit product, and the plural parts are mutually based upon the obtained connection information. The virtual shape of the knit product is deformed by deforming the plural parts according to the forces acting on the plural parts. At least one of the plural parts is stretched automatically or according to at least an instruction by a user, and then, the virtual shape of the knit product is re-deformed to a natural shape by re-deforming the plural parts according to the forces acting on the plural parts. Then, stitches are allocated within the plural parts, and the allocation of the stitches is smoothed within the plural parts.

Abstract: In an indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus, a downstream edge of each of the blades of the fan of an air-blowing device, when viewed in plan view, intersects any of the members of a motor stay of the air-blowing device irrespective of an angle of rotation of the fan. The motor stays are connected to the mounting portions of a bellmouth in which the fan is disposed, wherein the mounting portions protrude downward from a downstream outlet end of the bellmouth and each include side surfaces, of which at least a first side surface opposing a pressure surface of each of the blades of the fan is at an angle relative to a rotation axis of the fan.
