An information learning apparatus includes a processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: acquire text information and field information included in the text information; calculate a field loss based on the text information and the field information; and store parameters of a trained model, and updating the parameters of the model based on the field loss.

Information learning apparatus, method, and storage medium

An information processing device is communicably connected to a first terminal device used by a provider and a second terminal device used by a recipient and includes a processor. The processor acquires acquired information indicating that an acquirer of information data has already acquired the information data via the second terminal device. The acquirer is out of the recipient and is designated by the first terminal device. The processor provides acquisition status information by associating a number of the acquirer, a number of the recipient having acquired the information data or not having acquired the information data, and a thumbnail image of the information data based on the acquired information. The processor causes a display of the first terminal device to display the acquisition status information.

A control device controls a heating capacity during a heating operation and a defrosting capacity during a defrosting operation. The defrosting capacity of the first refrigeration cycle unit is determined to fall within a range satisfying a first determination condition and within a range satisfying a second determination condition. The first determination condition is a condition that a sum of a load capacity of a load device when the first defrosting start condition is satisfied, and the defrosting capacity of the first refrigeration cycle unit does not exceed the heating capacity of a second refrigeration cycle unit. The second determination condition is a condition that a sum of an inter-unit defrosting interval and a defrosting period of the first refrigeration cycle unit does not exceed a shortest defrosting interval of the second refrigeration cycle unit.

Refrigeration cycle apparatus

A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes an indoor heat exchanger, a water heat exchanger, a pump, an outdoor heat exchanger, a compressor, an expansion valve, a four-way valve, a third pipe, and an open/close valve, and configured to enable hot-gas defrosting and reverse cycle defrosting. A controller selects, based on the indoor load, either one of the hot-gas defrosting and the reverse cycle defrosting to be performed. In this way, defrosting can be performed with a minimum decrease of the chiller water temperature.

During a first cooling operation, a compressor is in an operational state, a liquid pump is in a non-operational state, and an amount of refrigerant allowing for existence of a liquid surface of the refrigerant in a refrigerant tank is accumulated in the refrigerant tank. During a second cooling operation, the compressor is in the non-operational state, the liquid pump is in the operational state, and the amount of the refrigerant allowing for the liquid surface of the refrigerant in the refrigerant tank is accumulated in the refrigerant tank.

Each of plural temperature adjustment apparatuses variably adjusts the amount of heat exchange between an inflow medium, which is a liquid medium supplied to a corresponding indoor heat exchanger, and an outflow medium, which is a liquid medium discharged from the corresponding indoor heat exchanger. Each of the plural temperature adjustment apparatuses reduces the heat exchanging capacity of the corresponding indoor heat exchanger by increasing the amount of heat exchange between the inflow medium and the outflow medium when the heat exchanging capacity of the corresponding indoor heat exchanger is larger than the indoor load. When there is no temperature adjustment apparatus in which the amount of heat exchange between the inflow medium and the outflow medium is set to the minimum, the heat source apparatus reduces the heating capacity or the cooling capacity for changing the temperature of the liquid medium.

Air conditioning system

A temperature adjustment apparatus adjusts a temperature of a heating medium that exchanges heat with air in an indoor heat exchanger connected to a heat source apparatus. It includes a first and second pipes through which the heating medium flows, the second pipe being branched into a first and second branch pipes which are thereafter merged, a second heat exchanger in which heat is exchanged between the heating medium in the first branch pipe and the heating medium in the first pipe, and a flow rate regulator that changes a flow rate of the heating medium in the first branch pipe and a flow rate of the heating medium in the second branch pipe. The second pipe supplies the heating medium from the heat source apparatus to the indoor heat exchanger. The first pipe returns the heating medium from the indoor heat exchanger to the heat source apparatus.

Temperature adjustment apparatus, intermediary apparatus, load apparatus, and refrigeration cycle apparatus

An air-conditioner includes: a refrigerant circuit through which a refrigerant flows, the refrigerant circuit being formed of a compressor, a switching valve, a first heat exchanger, an expansion valve, and a second heat exchanger connected to one another by a first pipe; a heat-transfer medium circuit through which a heat-transfer medium flows, the heat-transfer medium circuit being formed of a pump, the first heat exchanger, and a third heat exchanger connected to one another by a second pipe; and control device that controls the compressor and the pump. In an operation of the air-conditioner performed before entering a defrosting operation, the control device increases a frequency of the compressor, as compared to the frequency of the compressor in a heating operation, and reduces a rotational speed of the pump, as compared to the rotational speed of the pump in the heating operation.

An air conditioner includes a refrigeration cycle in which a first compressor and a second compressor are connected in parallel, and the first compressor, the second compressor, a first outdoor heat exchanger, a second outdoor heat exchanger, a first indoor heat exchanger, a second indoor heat exchanger, and expansion valves are connected. When the air conditioning apparatus is operated in a first operation mode in which the second outdoor heat exchanger and the first indoor heat exchanger are operated as condensers and the second indoor heat exchanger is operated as an evaporator, refrigerant discharged from the first compressor flows through the first indoor heat exchanger, the expansion valves, and the second indoor heat exchanger in order while bypassing the first outdoor heat exchanger and the second outdoor heat exchanger.

The degassing pipe has the first end connected to the refrigerant tank and has the second end connected to at least any of the refrigerant circuit and the refrigerant tank circuit.

A controller in a refrigeration cycle apparatus performs a refrigerant recovery operation when switching an operation mode from a defrosting mode to a heating mode. During the refrigerant recovery operation, by rotating a fan of a blower while monitoring a pressure at a discharge side of the compressor, the controller is configured to perform feedback control to cause a high-pressure side pressure to be close to a high-pressure side target pressure value. During the refrigerant recovery operation, by controlling a driving frequency of the compressor while monitoring a pressure at a suction side of the compressor, the controller is configured to perform feedback control to cause a low-pressure side pressure to be close to a low-pressure side target pressure value.
