A vehicle heating and air conditioning system basically includes an interior/exterior air introducing structure, a heating device, a driving end time acquiring section and an interior/exterior air switching control section. The interior/exterior air introducing structure switches the flow of cabin intake air between an interior air recirculation mode and an exterior air introducing mode. The heating device heats the cabin intake air being introduced by the interior/exterior air introducing structure. The driving end time acquiring section estimates a driving end time corresponding to a point in time at which driving of a vehicle is predicted to end. The interior/exterior air switching control section switches the interior/exterior air introducing structure from the exterior air introducing mode to the interior air recirculation mode during a period of time from a prescribed point in time until the driving end time to restrict windshield fogging while in the interior air recirculation mode.

Vehicle heating and air conditioning system

An air conditioner for a vehicle includes: a compressor (); an internal heat exchanger () which exchanges heat between the refrigerant and air in an interior space; an external heat exchanger () which exchanges heat between the refrigerant and outside air; a battery (); a battery heat exchanger () which exchanges heat between the refrigerant and the battery by causing the refrigerant, which travels to the compressor from the external heat exchanger, to go through the battery heat exchanger; a throttle adjusting part () which is arranged in a refrigerant flow passage on an upstream side of the battery heat exchanger; and a control unit (). The control unit () controls the flow of the refrigerant through the throttle adjusting part based on an extra heat exchange capacity that is an extra capacity of the external heat exchanger with respect to the internal heat exchanger.

Air conditioner for vehicle

Preventing high-voltage components which constitute an electric instrument stored in a case from being exposed, dropping out, or scattering to an outside from the case even when the case of an air-conditioning unit has a significant impact. Therefore, a vehicle air-conditioning unit is provided with a protecting structure for preventing the electric instrument from scattering.

Vehicle air-conditioning unit and vehicle

The present invention aims to reduce a size of a hinge portion and a device in an opening/closing mobile terminal device in which first and second housing members are opened/closed and turned on hinges. In the present invention, a second turning shaft () is provided to intersect with the first turning member so as to turn together with a first turning shaft () and provided turnably to the first turning shaft (), first and second guiding member () for restricting a turning angle of the second turning shaft () are provided in the first turning shaft (). Also, a flexible board () is interposed in the first turning shaft () and a first turning bearing () in a position that stretches over a first housing member () and a second housing member (). A first winding portion () that is wound around an outer periphery of the first turning bearing () is formed on one end side of the flexible board () to turn together with the first turning shaft ().

Hinge, and opening/closing type portable terminal device having the same

In an opening/closing type portable terminal device having first and second box members that can be opened and closed and turned through a hinge, an object of the invention is to miniaturize the hinge and the device. A second turnable shaft () crosses a first turnable shaft () to turn together and is turnable with respect to the first turnable shaft (). First and second guide members () for controlling the turning angle of the second turnable shaft () are installed within the first turnable shaft (). At a position across the first and second box members (), a flexible substrate () is interposed between the first turnable shat () and a first turnable shaft bearing () and is formed at one end thereof with a first winding () to be wound on the outer periphery of the first turnable shaft bearing () and is turned together with the first turnable shaft ().

A mobile information communicating terminal device having a video camera includes a camera receiver unit pivotally supported in a vertical direction with respect to an upper edge face of the device. When the device is employed as a video camera, the camera receiver unit is rotated about a vertical axis to a position in which a video camera portion of the camera receiver unit is located at a back side of the device. When the device is employed as a mobile television telephone, the vertical relationship of the video camera is not changed. Therefore, a vertical inversion processing of an image signal is not required.
