Abstract: A distribution apparatus according to the present application includes an accepting unit, a determination unit, and a distribution unit. The accepting unit accepts submission of video content to be displayed in a predetermined content display frame. The determination unit determines display order of the video content based on information indicating users' reactions to the video content accepted by the accepting unit. The distribution unit distributes the video content such that the video content are displayed in the display order determined by the determination unit.

Abstract: The present invention provides a motor-operated valve having no additional stopper for stopping the rotation of a rotor at fully open and closed states of the valve to allow a reduced number of parts of the valve and to prevent a noise otherwise generated by the abutment of the rotor against a stopper. The motor-operated valve includes a rotor 17 having a shaft 18 formed with an external thread 20. The motor-operated valve also includes a needle valve element 6 having a needle valve head 5 at one end portion thereof and an internal thread 16 engaging with the external thread 20 at another end portion. The valve element has a joining portion 14 for joining the valve head to the internal thread 20. The motor-operated valve also includes a main valve body 1 having a guide portion which stops the rotation of the valve element but allows the axial movement of the valve element.

Abstract: An electrically operated reversible expansion valve. It has a valve body formed with a primary port, a secondary port, a valve seat defined between the primary and secondary ports, and a slide bore in an opposing relation to said valve seat. A valve needle is supported by the slide bore. In order to prevent the fluid from being admitted into a bimetal chamber through the slide bore, a bypass is provided between the primary port and the slide bore.

Abstract: A reversing valve means for use with a reversible refrigerating cycle system in which a selector valve is actuated by pressure difference in the refrigerant gas and not by any mechanical means such as spring or the like. Said valve means is simple in construction and excellent in durability, enabling sure switchover of a heating cycle to a cooling cycle and vice versa.
