  • Patent number: 11125473
    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.

  • Publication number: 20200402528
    Abstract: [Overview] [Problem to be Solved] To provide an information processing apparatus that makes it possible to stably secure time for receiving audio data when reproducing audio data while receiving audio data. [Solution] An information processing apparatus including: an audio buffer unit; a reproduction time calculation unit; a position decision unit; and an insertion unit. The audio buffer unit retains first audio data that have not been reproduced in the first audio data received from another apparatus via a transmission path. The reproduction time calculation unit calculates a reproduction time of second audio data on the basis of at least any of a state of the first audio data retained in the audio buffer unit or a state of the transmission path. The second audio data are to be inserted and reproduced while the first audio data are being reproduced. The position decision unit decides an insertion position of the second audio data in the first audio data.

  • Publication number: 20190376727
    Abstract: If the refrigerant amount balance control is executed, 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. On the other hand, 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. Accordingly, cooling ability of the indoor unit increases.

  • Patent number: 10478057
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method, for testing a visual function of a subject, that make it possible to appropriately test the sensitivity for each color for each region of a visual field. In a state in which the subject is caused to gaze at one point 6 in a background 7, a visual target 5 for testing a color-related visual function of the subject is displayed in a peripheral region of the gaze point 6 such that the luminance of the background 7 has a numerical value included between a numerical value smaller by 10% and a numerical value greater by 10% than the luminance of the visual target 5. Then, for each measurement point 300, a threshold that is a size of the visual target 5 that determines whether or not the subject can perceive the visual target 5 is obtained for a plurality of times.
