Abstract: A power converter includes first and second components on which male and female fitting members of each of a plurality of pairs of fitting members are arranged, with a pair of first alignment keys formed in the first and second components as reference positions. The first and second components are coupled to each other by the female fitting member clamping an insertion portion of the male fitting member inserted between first and second clamping portions of the female fitting member arranged so as to face each other in a state where the pair of first alignment keys are positionally aligned. The first and second clamping portions are each bent so as to form one of protrusions toward one of surfaces thereof facing each other. A gap is formed in a distal end portion of each of the first and second clamping portions.

Abstract: An electric power converter includes a first board, a second board, and a first board-to-board connector that electrically and mechanically connects the first board and the second board. The first board-to-board connector includes a male fitting member and a female fitting member. Each of a first clamp portion and a second clamp portion of the female fitting member includes a first contact forming portion and a second contact forming portion that are curved in a protruding shape, and a first spring portion and a second spring portion that are connected to the first contact forming portion and the second contact portion, respectively, and that are curved in corrugated shapes. An insert clamped between the first contact forming portion and the second contact forming portion forms an electrical contact, and the first spring portion and the second spring portion are independently deformable.

Abstract: A setting facilitation apparatus (1400) includes a keyword input reception section (1410), a control command selection section (1420), and a specific control registration section (1430) and is used to facilitate setting of specific control in a control system (1001) that controls a control device through sound inputs. The keyword input reception section (1410) receives an input of information corresponding to a keyword. The control command selection section (1420) displays a certain control command to the control device (1010, 1020) on an edit screen (G) and receives selection of the control command. The specific control registration section (1430) registers a keyword (K) input by the keyword input reception section (1410) and the control command selected by the control command selection section (1420) to a specific control (DB 1104T) while associating the keyword and the control command with each other.

Abstract: As a prediction vector is set a prediction vector selected from one of a first prediction vector candidate and a prediction vector candidate in accordance with an encoding cost. The prediction vector candidate is a prediction vector candidate selected from one of a second prediction vector candidate and a third prediction vector candidate in accordance with a predictive accuracy of the third prediction vector candidate. The first prediction vector candidate is a median of motion vectors assigned to respective partitions surrounding a target partition. The second prediction vector candidate is a motion vector assigned to a partition adjacent to a left side of the target partition. The third prediction vector candidate is a motion vector assigned to a collocate partition identical in location to the target partition of a decoded frame.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device including (i) a spatial-direction prediction vector generating section (191) which calculates a first prediction vector group by referring to a first motion vector group made up of motion vectors for encoded partitions, (ii) a temporal-direction prediction vector generating section (192) which calculates a second prediction vector group by referring to a second motion vector group made up of motion vectors for partitions around a collocated partition, and (iii) a prediction vector selecting section (194) which assigns, to the target partition, a prediction vector selected from prediction vectors in the first prediction vector group or from prediction vectors in the second prediction vector group based on variation of the first motion vector group and variation of the second motion vector group.
