Abstract: Aspects are described for a device comprising a wireless transceiver configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) emission from a source device, an energy-harvesting unit configured to charge the first device wirelessly, using a first part of the RF emission, and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to modulate the first part of the RF emission based on information detected by the device and determine that an energy level of the device is above a threshold. The processor is further configured to transmit, in response to determining that the energy level is above the threshold, using the wireless transceiver, the modulated first part of the RF emission to the source device. The processor is further configured to transmit, in response to determining that the energy level is above the threshold, using the wireless transceiver, a second part of the RF emission wirelessly to another device to charge the other device.

Abstract: There is provided an air conditioner capable of displaying sufficient cooling ability in each indoor unit by allowing a sufficient amount of refrigerant to flow into indoor units where cooling ability cannot be displayed. By executing refrigerant amount balance control, since degrees of opening of indoor expansion valves are narrowed in indoor units whose refrigerant superheating degrees are smaller than an average refrigerant superheating degree, amounts of refrigerant flowing into the indoor expansion valves are decreased. In the indoor unit where the refrigerant superheating degree is higher than the average refrigerant superheating degree, since refrigerant pressure on a downstream side of the indoor expansion valve is also decreased due to the degrees of opening of the indoor expansion valves being narrowed, the difference in pressure between the upstream side and the downstream side of the indoor expansion valve increases and an amount of refrigerant flowing into the indoor unit is increased.
