Abstract

A controller (60) in a whole-building air-conditioning system (10) controls a damper (40) corresponding to a first space (11a1) to be air-conditioned according to a target temperature. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed from the time when the control of the damper (40) corresponding to the first space (11a1) to be air-conditioned is started according to a target temperature, if the changed temperature detected by a temperature sensor (50) is approaching the target temperature in the first space (11a1) to be air-conditioned, the controller (60) determines that the association between the controlled damper (40) and the temperature sensor (50) that detected the changed temperature is correct, but if the temperature detected by the temperature sensor (50) is not approaching to the target temperature in the first space (11a1) to be air-conditioned, the controller (60) determines that the association between the controlled damper (40) and the temperature sensor (50) that detected the changed temperature is incorrect. Then the controller (60) outputs the determination results.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a heat exchange-type ventilation device that makes it possible to automatically determine an opening surface area of an air volume adjustment damper and facilitate on-site construction. A heat exchange-type ventilation device (1) is provided with: an air supply blower provided with an air supply motor; an exhaust blower provided with an exhaust motor; an air supply path (7) through which the air-supplying blower blows air from outdoors to indoors; an exhaust path through which the exhaust blower blows air from indoors to outdoors; a heat exchange element that is located at an intersection of the air supply path (7) and the exhaust path and is for exchanging heat when indoor air and outdoor air are being exchanged; and a current detection unit for detecting a current flowing to the air supply motor. The heat exchange-type ventilation device has a control unit (11) by which the rotational speed of the air supply motor is controlled. The air supply path is connected to a circulation channel (14) of a unitary air conditioner (13). The control unit (11) causes an opening surface area of an air volume adjustment damper (15) provided inside the air supply path (7) to change so that a current value of the air supply motor detected by the current detection unit falls within a predetermined range of target current values.

Abstract

In a cooker according to the present disclosure, a convection heater for executing a convection mode and a circulation fan are disposed in a convection forming space that is in communication with a heating chamber, and a fan driver is disposed outside of the convection forming space. The cooker includes a leakage suppression mechanism for suppressing a microwave leak from the convection forming space. The leakage suppression mechanism is formed by a coaxial seal for setting a distance between opposing faces, i.e., between a circulation fan shaft passing through a first wall forming the convection forming space and the first wall to a predetermined distance or smaller. Therefore, a microwave leak from a mechanism for executing the convection mode is suppressed, and heat cooking with a microwave-heating mode can highly effectively be performed.

Abstract

The present invention suppresses an occurrence of a vapor condensation in a contact part (30) and to prevent a failure of electric conduction due to a freeze of condensate. In an electromagnetic relay of the present invention, partition walls (13) protrude on an inner wall surface of a cover (12). A coil (21) is surrounded by the inner wall surface of the cover (12), the partition walls (13) and an upper collar part (22b) and a lower collar part (22c) of a coil bobbin (22) on which the coil is wound to isolate the coil (21) from the contact part (30) including a fixed contact (31) and a movable contact (33). Thus, air of high temperature in the periphery of the coil (21) is restrained from reaching the contact part (30). Thus, air in the periphery of the contact part (30) is held to a low temperature, so that the occurrence of the vapor condensation in the contact part(30) can be prevented. Further, when an end face of a base (11) is sliding fitted to ribs (15) formed on the cover (12), a case (1) can be simply formed.

Each stream is stored in a different read buffer. A decoding unit reads and decodes each stream from a corresponding read buffer. A time (t) required for the decoding unit to decode all data blocks in one extent block is greater than or equal to the sum (t1+t2+t3) of a time (t1) required for the reading unit to read the data blocks except for the top data block in the extent block, a time (t2) required for the reading unit to start to read the top of a next extent block from the time of finishing reading the tail of the extent block, and a time (t3) required for the reading unit to read the top data block in the next extent block.

The lower limit of the size of the base-view extents is the larger of a first lower limit value and a second lower limit value. The lower limit of the size of the dependent-view extent is a third lower limit value. The first lower limit value is determined so that, in monoscopic video playback, buffer underflow does not occur during jump periods between base-view extents. The second lower limit value is determined so that, in stereoscopic video playback, buffer underf low does not occur during read periods from each base-view extent to a next dependent-view extent. The third lower limit value is determined so that, in stereoscopic video playback, buffer underflow does not occur during read periods from each dependent-view extent to the next base-view extent.

Abstract

On a recording medium, stereoscopic and monoscopic specific areas are located one after another next to a stereoscopic/monoscopic shared area. The stereoscopic/monoscopic shared area is a contiguous area to be accessed both in stereoscopic video playback and monoscopic video playback. The stereoscopic specific area is a contiguous area to be accessed immediately before a long jump occurring in stereoscopic video playback. In both the stereoscopic/monoscopic shared area and the stereoscopic specific area, extents of base-view and dependent-view stream files are arranged in an interleaved manner. The extents on the stereoscopic specific area are next in order after the extents on the stereoscopic/monoscopic shared area. The monoscopic specific area is a contiguous area to be accessed immediately before a long jump occurring in monoscopic video playback. The monoscopic specific area has a copy of the entirety of the extents of the base-view stream file recorded on the stereoscopic specific area.

Abstract

Whether or not underflow is being occurred or underflow is highly likely to occur is judged based on an image encoded data amount in a reception buffer at a time of the judgment or a change in the image encoded data amount with time . When the judgment is affirmative, a composite image data piece corresponding to one frame is generated by extracting an image data piece in the frame memory, decoding part of an image encoded data piece in the reception buffer and replacing part of the extracted the image data piece with the decoded part of the image encoded data piece . Composite image data pieces are repeatedly generated such that an occupancy ratio of replaced part of the image data piece increases each time a piece of the composite image data is newly generated, and the composite image data pieces are outputted in order of generation.

Abstract

A moving image coding method that can prevent playback discontinuity without an increase in processing load during playback is provided. The moving image coding method codes a video stream that includes a first moving image and a second moving image to be overlaid on the first moving image. The moving image coding method includes: a step of determining a continuous playback section that is a group of partial sections and is subject to continuous playback, in the video stream (S5301 to S5303); a step of coding the first and second moving images in the partial sections constituting the continuous playback section, under a constraint that prevents a threshold from being changed in the continuous playback section, the threshold being used for a transparency process by a luminance key in the overlaying (S5304); and a step of generating management information including flag information which indicates that the threshold is fixed in the continuous playback section (S5305).
