Abstract: In an air conditioner for a vehicle, a blower of a blower unit includes a double-axial motor having a rotation axis positioned approximately in a vehicle top-bottom direction, a pair of centrifugal fans located at two sides of the double-axial motor in an axial direction, and a pair of scroll casings in which the centrifugal fans are accommodated, respectively. The two air outlet portions are arranged in the vehicle top-bottom direction, and are adjacent to be joined to an air inlet portion of the air conditioning unit, substantially as a single air outlet. Furthermore, the two air outlet portions are located approximately at the same height position as that of the air passing portion of the cooling heat exchanger, and have a height dimension (H2) at its downstream end side that is approximately equal to a height dimension (H1) of the air passing portion of the cooling heat exchanger.

Abstract: In a cellular phone 10, when a CPU 100 detects that a style of the housing is changed to an “open style” or a “view style”, the CPU 100 executes function menu display processing. In the function menu display processing, the CPU 100 automatically selects candidates of function names that are suitable for the current style detected under a predetermined determination condition, and after displaying them in the menu, provides voice guidance thereof. Accordingly, a user does not need to examine which function is suitable for the style. As a result, operability after the style of the housing is changed is enhanced.

Abstract: Upon detection to connection to a cradle, a control section of a mobile communication terminal accesses a storage section to determine whether setting information indicating operation settings of various functions is stored therein. When setting information is stored therein, the control section turns on power of the mobile communication terminal and controls the respective sections to execute an operation according to the setting information. While, no setting information is stored therein, the control section performs a charging operation without turning on power of the mobile communication terminal. Then, upon detection of release of connection to the cradle, the executed operation is finished based on the setting information.

Abstract: In a medical image display device, setting means sets first reference information for starting extraction of a desired region on a medical image displayed on the display means and second reference information for terminating the region extraction. Control means generates mark information indicating execution information on a region extraction process in the direction from the first reference information to the second reference information set by the setting means and control display so as to correlate the generated mark information with the medical image. For example, the mark information generated by the setting means is shifted and set and the control means modifies the size and the shape of target region information according to the mark information shifted and set.

Abstract: In a vehicle air conditioner, first and second downstream side passages are provided in an air conditioning case to guide air to a defroster opening and a foot opening, respectively. A switching door is capable of switching between a partition position for partitioning the first downstream side passage and the second downstream side passage from each other, and a communication position for establishing communication between the first downstream side passage and the second downstream side passage. An air outlet mode switching device is capable of switching between a foot mode and a foot/defroster mode. In the foot mode, the air outlet mode switching device causes both the foot door and defroster door to be opened and causes the first switching door to be set at the partition position. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a problem due to an air outlet mode door with a small opening degree.
