Abstract

According to the present invention, visual feedback control is performed stably and appropriately even if vibration occurs in a target object. A position adjusting device (1) comprises an installation unit, a stage servo circuit (131), an acceleration sensor (14), a vibration processing unit (124), and a signal generating unit (12). A target object is installed on the installation unit. The stage servo circuit (131) drives the installation unit to change the position of the target object. The acceleration sensor (14) detects vibrations of the target object. The vibration processing unit (124) detects a period of the vibrations on the basis of a detection signal from the acceleration sensor (14). In visual feedback control for moving the target object to a target position, the signal generating unit (12) acquires captured images, at an acquisition timing based on the period of the vibrations, from a camera (11) for imaging the target object, generates control signals for moving the target object to the target position, from each acquired captured image, and successively outputs the generated control signals to a drive unit.

Abstract

The present application discloses a method for controlling a suction motor of a vacuum cleaner equipped with a suction source that generates suction power for suctioning dust by rotating a rotary vane by the suction motor. The control method comprises a motor control step for controlling the rotational frequency of the suction motor so that the operating noise emitted from the suction source changes according to musical notes in a prescribed musical score. In the case where two musical notes representing the same sound are consecutively written in the prescribed score without being connected by a tie, control is performed, in the motor control step, on the rotational frequency of the suction motor such that an insert sound having a frequency that is different from said sound by a halftone or more is emitted between the sounds represented by said two musical notes.

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a cooling device which, when installed in an area where rapid increases in real power demand are problematic, can contribute to mitigating rapid increases in real power demand. On the basis of the amount of change, over a day, in real power demand, which is obtained by subtracting the amount of power generated by solar power generation equipment from the actual amount of power consumed, a control unit 60 executes, in a preset second time slot which precedes a range in which real power demand rapidly increases, cold storage operation in which a compressor 30 is driven to store cold energy in a cold-storage material 51 during interior cooling. In a first time slot, which comes after the second time slot and is a range in which real power demand rapidly increases, the control unit 60 executes dissipation operation in which a refrigeration fan 23 and a freezer fan 25 are driven to dissipate cold energy stored in the cold-storage material 51, with the compressor 30 in a stopped state.

Abstract

Through intermittent communication between an inner circumferential side space 106i of a piston 106 and a suction chamber 110, a rotary compressor according to the present disclosure uses an opening time of an oil feeling groove 117 for the suction chamber 110 under a low rotation condition on which an oil feeding amount is desirably increased, and uses a pressure difference under a high differential pressure condition to increase the oil feeding amount. Thus, an oil feeding amount is made appropriate in a wide operation range, and high efficiency and high reliability can be achieved at the same time.

The protrusion portion (234) has a first total reflection surface (235) totally reflecting the light incident on the incident surface (231). The bowl-shaped portion (233) has a second total reflection surface (236) totally reflecting the light incident on the incident surface (231). The light-emitting device (200) comprises a first light reduction portion that reduces, among the light incident on the lens (230), at least part of the light emitted toward a support body positioned in a direction intersecting with the optical axis of the light emitted by the light source (220).
