By rotating a second camera () by a hinge () by 180 degrees so as to obtain an opening state, the second camerafaces a surface side. As a result, a first camera () and the second camera () are aligned horizontally, and use the same direction as a photographing range. When the second camera () is rotated, a system controller determines that a state is in a stereoscopic vision photographing mode. When a camera shutter is operated by a user, both the first camera () and the second camera () are allowed to perform a photographing process, and obtained two image data are stored in a memory after being attached to information indicating that the image is for the right eye and the image is for the left eye, and etc. Then, the two image data are transmitted by an e-mail function to a terminal of a communicating partner.

The objective of the present invention is to improve the system efficiency of the fuel cell generator that generates hydrogen by electrolyzing water and generates electricity using the generated hydrogen. For this purpose, a fuel cell generator, which includes a fuel cell for generating electricity using hydrogen, a electrolytic device for electrolyzing water using electricity from an external electricity system, and a hydrogen storage device for storing the hydrogen that has been generated by the electrolytic device and supplying the stored hydrogen to the fuel cell, is equipped with an heat supplying device for supplying the heat that has been generated in the fuel cell during the electricity generation to the electrolytic device. Alternatively, a fuel cell generator, which includes a fuel cell for generating electricity using hydrogen and electrolyzing water using electricity from an external electricity system, and a hydrogen storage device for storing the hydrogen that has been generated during the electrolysis and supplying the stored hydrogen to the fuel cell during the electricity generation, is equipped with an heat supplying device for storing the heat that has been generated during the electricity generation and supplying the stored heat to the fuel cell during the electrolysis.

Fuel cell generator

A solar battery indicator apparatus utilizing a capacitor for accumulating electrical power generated by the solar battery and light emitting diodes for emitting light on the basis of the electrical power supplied from the capacitor. An indicator body makes a prescribed indication on its front surface through the use of optical fibers. Several bundles of optical fibers are utilized with each bundle being associated with a plurality of optical fibers having one of their ends disposed to face an associated one of the light emitting diodes and the other end of each of the bundles of fibers being associated with a particular indicator. The configuration of optical fiber bundles utilize a control portion for controlling light emitting states of respective individual light emitting diodes. In another aspect a bundle of optical fibers have their connection to a light emitting diode such that the light emitting diode and the connection is positioned substantially in the center portion of a sign indicator controlled by the light emitting diode so that the curvature of the individual optical fibers is within a range for optimal light transmission.

Solar battery type indication apparatus

An apparatus for compressing/expanding a working gas (compression/expansion apparatus), including: a cylinder; a piston for compressing/expanding said working gas in a working space (front space) of said cylinder; a crank mechanism connected with a piston rod of said piston via an oil seal; a crank chamber for housing therein said crank mechanism and communicating with said cylinder via said oil seal, said apparatus comprising: a first tube allowing for a unidirectional flow of the working gas from said crank chamber to said front space in said cylinder, said first tube having therein an oil filter and a first check valve; and a second tube allowing for a unidirectional flow of the working gas from said front space to a second space (rear space) behind said piston in said cylinder, said second tube having therein a second check valve. In this construction a loop of the working gas is established for pumping the gas from the crank chamber to the rear space of the cylinder via the front space, and then back to the crank chamber via the oil seal between the cylinder and the crank chamber. The passage of the gas through the oil seal helps prevent the lubrication oil from infiltrating directly from the crank chamber into the cylinder along the piston rod.

Gas compression/expansion apparatus

A heat pump apparatus comprising: a heat pump circuit composed of an external combustion engine, a radiator through which a first medium heated by a first heat exchanger of said external combustion engine flows and a cooler through which a second medium cooled by a second heat exchanger of said external combustion engine flows; a motor for supplementing a motive power to said external combustion engine; a brake for braking said external combustion engine; a detector for detecting a heating load; and a controller for calculating a motive power necessary for said external combustion engine based on the difference between a value detected by said detector and a preset value previously set, and for controlling said motor to move when the calculated motive power is larger than a self-output of said external combustion engine.
