  • Publication number: 20240146853
    Abstract: The information processing apparatus includes a display. The information processing apparatus accepts user operations via a GUI (graphical user interface) displayed on the display. When the service ends, the forgotten item notification screen is displayed on the display. In the forgotten item notification screen, a forgotten item reminder unit is provided for reminding a user who left behind a reminder target item, including the property of the user used in connection with the service. An individual reminder section is provided in a forgotten item reminder unit, to give an individual reminder to prevent the occurrence of leaving behind of each reminder target item, for a first-type item for which retrieval cannot be detected and a second-type item for which retrieval can be detected but which has not been retrieved, from among the reminder target items.

  • Patent number: 11125230
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes fixed and movable scrolls defining a compression chamber, and a crankshaft. The movable scroll at least partially covers a discharge port formed in the fixed scroll to change a communication area that is a portion of a total area of the discharge port that contributes to communication with the compression chamber. First to third rotation angle positions become larger in order. As the crankshaft rotates from the first to second rotation angle position the communication area increases at a first rate. In the first rotation angle position the compression chamber and the discharge port start communicating with each other. The second rotation angle position is a preliminary discharge interval angle. As the crankshaft rotates from the second to third rotation angle position the communication area increases at a second rate. The second rate of increase is greater than the first rate of increase.

  • Patent number: 11047384
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes fixed and orbiting scrolls, and satisfies at least one of a first condition and a second condition. In the first condition, a first gap between a distal end of the first wrap and the second base changes heading from an outer peripheral side of the first wrap to an inner peripheral side. In the second condition, a second gap between a distal end of the second wrap and the first base changes heading from an outer peripheral side of the second wrap to an inner peripheral side. A rate of change in the first gap in one area is greater than a rate of change in the first gap in another area. A rate of change in the second gap in one area is greater than a rate of change in the second gap in another area.

  • Patent number: 10480509
    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a compression mechanism having fixed and movable scrolls to form a fluid chamber. The fixed scroll has an end plate, an outer peripheral wall, and a wrap. The movable scroll has an end plate and a wrap. A scroll oil groove is formed in a sliding contact surface of the outer peripheral wall. Lubricating oil having a high pressure corresponding to a discharge pressure of the compression mechanism is fed into the scroll oil groove. A scroll oil groove is formed in a sliding contact surface of the movable scroll, which slides on the outer peripheral wall. The fixed and movable scroll oil grooves communicate with each other without communicating with the fluid chamber in a first operation. The movable scroll oil groove simultaneously communicates with the fixed scroll oil groove and the fluid chamber in a second operation after the first operation.
