Described is a stopper including a filtering unit housed in an interior of a liquid receiver main body through which a refrigerant passes, a fixed portion that includes a screw portion that is screwed into an inner peripheral face of the liquid receiver main body, a sealing member in contact with the inner peripheral face of the liquid receiver main body, thereby preventing a leakage of a refrigerant to the fixed portion, and a movable connection portion provided between the filtering unit and the fixed portion for linking the filtering unit to the fixed portion in such a way that the filtering unit is not caused to follow a rotation of the fixed portion, and in such a way that the filtering unit is caused to follow an axial direction movement of the fixed portion.

Liquid receiver, and vehicle-use air conditioning device condenser including the liquid receiver

To provide a vehicle air-conditioning unit that increases a volume of airflow delivered from a side vent opening in a foot mode, to effectively prevent fogging of windowpanes on right and left end sides. An air passage has: a first passage that guides hot air to a center vent opening, a side vent opening, and a defrost opening; and a second passage that is branched from the first passage and guides the hot air to a foot opening. A first door is arranged at a branched position of the air passage to the second passage, and a second door is arranged between the center vent opening and the defrost opening. In a foot mode, the first door closes the first passage and opens a first supply passage, the first supply passage communicates between the first and second passages, the second door closes the center vent opening and forms a second supply passage on an upstream side of the side vent opening, and the second supply passage communicates between an extending direction of the first supply passage and the side vent opening.

Vehicle air-conditioning unit

A vehicle air conditioner provided with an airflow structure for an intake box, wherein, in an HVAC comprising, in an intake box, a control device for controlling the number of rotation, the control device is reliably cooled by airflow regardless of the ratio of mixing between internal air and external air. A vehicle air conditioner of center-concentrated type, wherein a control device () for controlling the number of rotation is mounted to a vehicle interior-side wall surface inside an intake box () and wherein an air delivery guide () is provided in the intake box (), the air delivery guide () delivering to the control device () a part of air introduced from a direction crossing the direction of opening of a suction opening () of a blower ().

For solving a problem that it cannot measure illuminance level around user interface correctly, an illuminance detection method includes a first step of detecting an open operation of a flip-type electronic device having the user interface located at an inner side in a closed state, and a second step of measuring illuminance level in a vicinity of an area where the user interface is exposed in an opened state of the flip-type electronic device when the open operation is detected.

Illuminance detection method, flip-type electronic device and program

It is possible to surely protect the user's ear from a sudden large volume and enable the user to surely and clearly hear a sound as information to be alarmed. In case an incoming call signal is received when the user holds a mobile telephone () at the speaking position and listens to a message output from an audio output unit (), a control unit () makes a vibrator () generate a vibration as an alarm to call user's attention. At the timing when the user has sufficiently separated the mobile telephone () from his/her ear, the control unit () makes the audio output unit () output a ringtone of large volume. Thus, it is possible to surely protect the user's ear from a sudden large volume. Even when a music composition to notify the receipt of incoming call signal is used as a ringtone, the user can surely and clearly hear the sound as information to be alarmed.

Audio output device, its alarm output control method, and its control program

Noise occurring in an upright air-conditioning unit is greatly reduced. An upright air-conditioning unitis disposed under a steering member support part, a vent openingand a vent outlet portare made to communicate with each other via a vent duct, a defrost openingand a defrost outlet portare made to communicate with each other via a defrost duct. The vent openingassumes a position further frontward than the steering member support partalong the frontward/rearward direction relative to the vehicle body whereas the defrost openingassumes a position further rearward than the steering member support partalong the frontward/rearward direction relative to the vehicle body.

Air conditioner for vehicle

An object of the present invention is to prevent vibration of a sliding door within a guide groove through a fundamental review of the structures adopted in sliding door devices in the related art having a sliding door made to move along a direction intersecting an air flow path to control the flow rate or direction of air within the air flow path. The present invention is characterized in that a tension-applying means is disposed at a sliding unit of a sliding door, which is inserted at a guide groove formed on the inside of an air-conditioner case to apply tension between the sliding unit and the guide groove.
