  • 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.

  • Patent number: 9699245
    Abstract: An apparatus and method allowing for high-quality data acquisition and playback processing based on content information transmitted from a server to a client are provided. Property information constituting meta-information corresponding to content-associated attribute information stores data-scheme information on original content held by the server, such as file format information, codec information representing an encoded-data scheme, and resolution information. In response to a content information acquisition request from the client, content information including the data-scheme information on the original content is generated and is transmitted to the client. This structure allows the client to output a content transmission request in which the optimum data scheme is determined based on the data scheme of the original content. Therefore, high-quality data acquisition and playback can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 9489917
    Abstract: A color perception test has a color matching processor that executes a color matching processing on a color monitor, and an image display controller that displays two or more images for color perception test in order on the color monitor on which the color matching processing was done. When displaying each image for color perception test, a color perception test is done in a state that one of its hue, brightness, saturation and display time is changed and the other elements are fixed. Since the color perception tester has the color matching processor, colors of the image are not changed with passage of time different from color printed one, and correct test can be done thereby. If the test is periodically done on some examinee, a degree of decreasing color perception function by aging can be exactly known.
