  • Patent number: 11103219
    Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes the following. A deflection controller generates delay time information to make phases of reception signals input to channels uniform according to a deflection angle. A channel selector selects a channel in which the reception signal is turned on or off so that the phases of the reception signals input to channels are different and which generates channel selection information. A reception delay interrupter provides the delay amount to the reception signal and which turns on or off the reception signal. An adder adds the plurality of reception signals which are provided with the delay amount and turned on.

  • Patent number: 11089273
    Abstract: A remote controller respectively transmits an infrared operation signal to a projector, a Bluetooth operation signal to an image supply apparatus, and both the operation signals when respective operation keys of first, second, and third key groups are operated. When a menu key is operated, the projector performs control for displaying a menu image and output of an operation restricting command to the image supply apparatus, and, when a predetermined condition is satisfied after the output of the operation restricting command, performs control for ending the display of the menu image and output of a restriction releasing command to the image supply apparatus. The image supply apparatus stops control corresponding to an operation signal corresponding to the third key group from when the operation restricting command is input until when the restriction releasing command is input.

  • Publication number: 20210063035
    Abstract: A heat exchange element includes a countercurrent portion including a plurality of partition plates each having a planar shape and a plurality of spacer plates each having a corrugated shape in cross section. The partition plates and spacer plates are alternately stacked such that corrugation directions of the spacer plates are aligned. A side surface of the countercurrent portion is formed by end portions defined by bending portions in each of which the partition plate and the spacer plate are overlaid. Since the heat exchange element according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is configured as described above, the heat insulation between flow paths of the heat exchange element and the outside air is improved, and heat exchange between fluid in the flow paths of the heat exchange element and the outside air is reduced. Consequently, the heat exchange element achieves improved heat exchange efficiency.
