Abstract

In a refrigeration cycle in which a refrigeration cycle working medium containing a refrigerant component that causes a disproportionation reaction, for example, fluoroolefin is circulated, carbene is produced in accordance with the disproportionation reaction of the fluoroolefin. At this time, the refrigeration cycle working medium contains, as a carbene scavenger, a compound having a chemical structure including an X-H bond (X is O, S, or Si) that is a bond of an oxygen atom (O), a sulfur atom (S), or a silicon atom (Si), which reacts with the carbene, to a hydrogen atom, for example, an organic hetero compound or a silane compound. Capturing the produced carbene by means of the carbene scavenger suppresses an increase in the carbene in the refrigeration cycle and satisfactorily suppresses or alleviates the disproportionation reaction of the fluoroolefin.

Abstract

The present disclosure addresses the problem of accurately estimating a sleep state without depending on the temperature of a sleeping environment. A sleep estimation system (1) comprises a thermal image acquisition unit (301), a temperature acquisition unit (302), a body movement analysis unit (303), and a sleep estimation unit (304). The thermal image acquisition unit (301) acquires a thermal image of a sleeper. The temperature acquisition unit (302) acquires the temperature of the sleeper in a sleeping environment. The body movement analysis unit (303) analyzes the body movement during sleep of the sleeper on the basis of the thermal image to derive a body movement feature amount. The sleep estimation unit (304) estimates the sleep state of the sleeper using the body movement feature amount. The body movement analysis unit (303) corrects the body movement feature amount on the basis of the temperature acquired by the temperature acquisition unit (302). The sleep estimation unit (304) estimates the sleep state of the sleeper using the corrected body movement feature amount.

Abstract

The present disclosure addresses the problem of accurately estimating a sleep state without depending on a detection distance. A sleep estimation system (1) comprises a thermal image acquisition unit (201), a distance acquisition unit (202), a body movement analysis unit (203), and a sleep estimation unit (204). The thermal image acquisition unit (201) acquires a thermal image of a sleeper from a thermal image sensor (10). The distance acquisition unit (202) acquires a detection distance which is the distance from the thermal image sensor (10) to bedding of the sleeper. The body movement analysis unit (203) analyzes, on the basis of the thermal image, the body movement of the sleeper during sleep, to determine a body movement feature amount. The sleep estimation unit (204) estimates the sleep state of the sleeper from the body movement feature amount. The body movement analysis unit (203) corrects the body movement feature amount on the basis of the detection distance acquired by the distance acquisition unit (202). The sleep estimation unit (204) uses the corrected body movement feature amount to estimate the sleep state of the sleeper.

Abstract

The present disclosure addresses the problem of providing a sleep state determination system that is capable of determining a sleep state in more detail. A sleep state determination system (1) comprises a first extraction part (121), a detection part (122), and a first determination part (123). The first extraction part (121) extracts a respiratory waveform based on respiration of a user (H1) from a sensing result that has been obtained by using a radio wave sensor (10) to sense the movement of the body of the user (H1) who is asleep and acquires a feature amount of the respiratory waveform. The detection part (122) detects, on the basis of the sensing result, the occurrence of an apnea event, which is a continuation of the state in which the respiration of the user (H1) is stopped for a certain period of time or longer, and acquires the frequency of the occurrence of the apnea event. The first determination part (123) determines whether or not the sleep state of the user (H1) is abnormal on the basis of the feature amount that has been acquired by the first extraction part (121) and the occurrence frequency that has been acquired by the detection part (122).

Abstract

The purpose of the present disclosure is to reduce the possibility of electricity theft. In a charging system (1) according to the present disclosure, a schedule setting unit (301) sets, in a storage unit (33), charging schedule information including at least first information relating to a user who makes a reservation for charging an electric vehicle (7) and second information relating to a charging period. A determination unit (302) determines whether an electric vehicle (7) present in a charging area (AR1) is the electric vehicle (7) for which the reservation was made for charging by a charging unit (55) in the charging schedule information. When supply of power from the charging unit (55) to the electric vehicle (7) is stopped during the charging period, the determination unit (302) executes the determination process again.

Abstract

A compression mechanism part 30 includes a cylinder 31, a piston 32 disposed inside the cylinder 31, and a vane 33 that partitions the interior of the cylinder 31. A shaft 40 has an eccentric part 42. A vane groove 36 in which to dispose the vane 33 is formed in the cylinder 31. The eccentric part 42 is disposed inside the cylinder 31, and the piston 32 fits into the eccentric part 42. A cylindrical groove 32a with an arc angle α exceeding 180° is formed in the piston 32. A cylinder part 33b to be disposed in the cylindrical groove 32a is formed at an end portion of the vane 33. The vane 33 operates without separating from the piston 32. The Vickers hardness at the surface of the piston 32 is set to Hv 400 or less, thereby facilitating the formation of the cylindrical groove 32a in the piston 32.

Abstract

A microcontroller of a controller unit comprises a detection unit, a timekeeping unit, a determination unit, and a calculation unit. The detection unit receives an open/closed state signal and detects a change edge. The timekeeping unit measures a delay time T from the transmission of an opening/closing control signal until the detection of a change edge. The determination unit determines, by means of T, whether the change edge is a relay state change. When it is determined that the change edge is a relay state change, the calculation unit computes the time between two contiguous zero-crossings of an AC power source to be a relay control start time Ts using T and a time between zero-crossings Tz. When it is determined that the change edge is not a relay state change, the calculation unit adds a first constant (N1) multiple (N1 is a natural number) of Tz to Ts, and then carries out transmission of the opening/closing control signal and determination of the relay state change, and re-computes Ts.

Abstract

A compression mechanism part 30 includes a cylinder 31, a piston 32 disposed inside the cylinder 31, and a vane 33 that partitions the interior of the cylinder 31. A shaft 40 has an eccentric part 42. A vane groove 36 in which to dispose the vane 33 is formed in the cylinder 31. The eccentric part 42 is disposed inside the cylinder 31, and the piston 32 fits into the eccentric part 42. The vane 33 operates without separating from the piston 32. At 25 °C temperature conditions, a refrigerating machine oil and a working fluid are in a state of two-phase separation. The above thus provides a rotary compressor 1 that can ensure lubrication performance and maintain good sliding conditions even when liquid-compressing operation is unavoidable, as well as equipment using the rotary compressor 1.
