Abstract: A temperature adjustment system includes: a battery; a first heat medium passage for performing heat exchange with the battery; a drive motor; a second heat medium passage for performing heat exchange with the drive motor; a refrigerant passage through which a refrigerant circulates; a third heat medium passage for performing heat exchange with the refrigerant; and one multi-way switching valve opening and closing respective inlets and outlets of the first heat medium passage, the second heat medium passage, and the third heat medium passage. An electric heater heating a heat medium is disposed at the first heat medium passage upstream of the battery. At a predetermined mixing switching position, the multi-way switching valve mixes at least the heat medium flowing through the first heat medium passage and the heat medium flowing through the second heat medium passage to mix the heat media having state quantities different from each other.

Abstract: A multi-way switching valve device includes: a base member having a cylindrical recess centered on a predetermined axis and a plurality of openings formed on an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical recess within an angle range narrower than a half circumference to define an inlet and an outlet of each of a plurality of fluid passages; a columnar multi-way switching valve having a plurality of hollowed-out passage parts on an outer circumferential surface and rotatably disposed around the axis in the cylindrical recess to perform opening and closing operations of the plurality of openings; a seal member disposed between the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface corresponding to the angle range; and a spacer member disposed between the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface in a region on an opposite side of the seal member across the axis.

Abstract: A temperature adjustment system includes: a battery; a first heat medium passage for heat exchange with the battery; a drive motor; a second heat medium passage for heat exchange with the drive motor; a refrigerant passage; a third heat medium passage for heat exchange with a refrigerant; and a multi-way switching valve opening and closing respective inlets and outlets of the first heat medium passage to the third heat medium passage. An electric heater is disposed at the first heat medium passage. At a predetermined switching position, the multi-way switching valve causes the first heat medium passage to form a closed loop passage to heat the battery by heat generated by the electric heater, and causes the second heat medium passage and the third heat medium passage to communicate with each other to form a closed loop passage to heat the refrigerant by heat generated by the drive motor.

Abstract: A multi-way switching valve device includes: a base member defining a first inlet and a first outlet of a first fluid passage, a second inlet and a second outlet of a second fluid passage, a third inlet and a third outlet of a third fluid passage, and a fourth inlet and a fourth outlet of a fourth fluid passage; and a multi-way switching valve rotatably disposed on the base member and performing switching operation among switching positions to open and close the first to the fourth inlets and the first to the fourth outlets. The valve, at a mixed switching position included in the switching positions, causes fluid flowing out from the first outlet to flow into the first inlet and the second inlet, and causes fluid flowing out from the second outlet to flow into the second inlet and the first inlet.

Abstract: A processor acquires a current change request of a network virtualization environment, and automatically rejects the current change request if a determination criterion that satisfies a value of a comparison item in the current change request is not detected in a determination criterion management database. If the determination criterion that satisfies the value of the comparison item is detected, the processor searches for a past change record that satisfies the determination criterion (execution result of the past change of the same type). If the execution result of the past change is not detected, the processor automatically rejects the current change request. If the execution result of the past change is detected, the processor automatically approves the current change request when a predetermined condition related to the execution result of the past change is satisfied, but automatically rejects the current change request when the predetermined condition is not satisfied.

Abstract: A settlement system performs on-line settlement and off-line settlement by switching between them, while reducing risk to the business side and not causing a user making payment to be aware of the switching. A terminal device includes selection means for comparing a payment amount with a set amount read from a recording medium and for selecting between off-line processing and on-line processing, depending on a result of the comparison, off-line processing means for performing a process of subtracting the payment amount from the set amount recorded in the recording medium and a process of sending the payment amount to a server device; and on-line processing means for performing a process of sending the payment amount to the server device and a process of updating the set amount when having received an update value.

Abstract: The validity/invalidity of a credit card, an IC card storing electronic money, or the like is appropriately determined based on a blacklist. A terminal device includes a list storage means and an invalidity recording means. The list storage means stores an identifier, validity information indicating validity or invalidity, and a blacklist that relates the identifier to an invalidity count specification value for a recording medium storing a set value. The invalidity recording means reads from the blacklist, the invalidity count specification value related to the identifier read from the recording medium, and compares the invalidity count specification value with the set value read from the recording medium. The invalidity recording means executes predetermined processing based on the validity information for the recording medium when the set value is equal to the invalidity count specification value.

Abstract: A settlement system includes a server device and a terminal device. The terminal device is configured to compare a payment amount with a set amount stored in a recording medium; if the payment amount is equal to or less than the set amount, perform an off-line process; and if the payment amount is larger than the set amount, perform an on-line process. In the off-line process, the terminal device rewrites the set amount stored in the recording medium by subtracting the payment amount from the set amount; and sends the payment amount to the server device for further processing. In the on-line process, the terminal device sends the payment amount to the server device; determines whether an update value is received from the server device; and when the update value is received, rewrites the set amount stored in the recording medium to be the update value.

Abstract: A blacklist updating technique capable of efficiently preventing illegal use is provided. A terminal device includes a list storage means for storing a blacklist including invalidated identifiers, a processing means for checking, when an amount of money and the identifier are inputted, whether the input identifier is included in the blacklist in the list storage means and, when not included, executing a predetermined process using the amount of money and accumulating a predetermined value to obtain a cumulative value, and a list updating means for receiving update data from a server device to update the blacklist in the list storage means when the cumulative value is larger than a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A terminal device for making it easy to reuse an IC card 3 on which validity information indicating invalid has been written by being once invalidated is provided. The terminal device includes a list storage means and a recording means. The list storage means stores a whitelist associating an invalid count identifying value of a recording medium that stores an identifier, validity information indicating valid or invalid, and a setting value with the identifier. The recording means reads out, from the whitelist, the invalid count identifying value corresponding to the identifier read out from the recording medium, compares the invalid count identifying value with the setting value read out from the recording medium, and executes a validation process that stores the validity information indicating valid on the recording medium and a predetermined process when the setting value is equal to the invalid count identifying value.
