Abstract: A normalization unit acquires a normalized reference value being a value obtained from normalization of a reference value according to a predetermined normalization rule, the reference value being a status value acquired from an air conditioner during a normal estimation period during which the air conditioner is estimated to operate normally, the status value indicating an operational status of the air conditioner. An acquiring unit acquires from the air conditioner, the status value as a diagnosis value during a diagnosis period during which it is not clear whether or not the air conditioner operates normally and which is after the normal estimation period. The normalization unit normalizes the diagnosis value according to the normalization rule.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a refrigerator and others, and in particular, purports to achieve a refrigerator, freezer, storage container, and cold storage which preserve the freshness of foods using the vacuum technology. An industrial refrigerator-freezer which has one or a plurality of storages and cooling means for cooling these storages comprise a hermetically sealed containers 11 installed inside the storage to refrigerate foods, exhaust means comprising an exhaust pump 19, exhaust duct 20 and others to individually exhaust air in the hermetically sealed containers 11, and a switching means installed to an operation panel 15 to turn on/off the exhaust means.

Abstract: A portable communication equipment comprises a radio communication sections (13), (14) for transmitting and receiving a CDMA signal, a base band modem section (16) for modulating a speech signal into a CDMA signal and demodulating a CDMA signal into a speech signal, and a CPU (17) for controlling the transmission and reception of a CDMA signal. When the equipment fails in capturing a selected channel and falls in a condition when a system was lost, the CPU (17) retries to capture the selected channel. The CPU (17), when it fails in capturing the selected channel, selects another channel only when it tries to capture the selected channel for a predetermined number of times as well as it does not obtain an overhead message. With this arrangement, it is possible to capture an appropriate channel if an unsuitable channel is selected and the portable communication equipment falls into a condition when a system was lost.

Abstract: The method for the skin analysis is capable of deciding condition of the skin of the customer objectively and accurately. There are obtained analysis data of the skin of the customer based on a plurality of the skin analysis techniques such as the skin analysis according to diagnostic process with an interview, analysis of the skin according to replica of the skin using impression agent, information analysis within keratin by keratin checker, melanin information analysis by melanin checker, flesh color analysis based on flesh color sheet. There is classified conditions of the skin of the customer in every plural categories based on the analysis data of this skin, and then the condition of the skin of the customer is made to analyze in accordance with classification obtained.
