Non-contact operating apparatus for vehicle and vehicle

A vehicle heating device includes a heat storage material, a heat recovery unit, a footrest, and a heat controller. The vehicle heating device heats an occupant with heat stored in the heat storage material. The heat recovery unit recovers thermal energy from at least one of a heat source generated by a vehicle or a natural heat source from outside of the vehicle. The heat storage material stores the recovered thermal energy. The footrest is provided at a front portion of a vehicle seat disposed in a vehicle cabin, and has the heat storage material packed inside a heat insulating material. The heat controller heats the footrest by radiating the heat stored in the heat storage material at a predetermined timing with respect to the occupant to be on the vehicle.

Air-conditioning apparatus for vehicle

A vehicle with a capsule structure of a power unit includes the power unit and a transmission member. The power unit includes an internal combustion engine that combusts air-fuel mixture in an engine body and outputs a driving force, and a motor that outputs a driving force by using electric power of an electric generator or a battery. The transmission member transmits the driving force of the power unit. The capsule structure includes a heat-insulation casing having an internal space in which the power unit and the transmission member are accommodated, and a partition wall that divides the internal space of the heat-insulation casing into at least a first partition space and a second partition space which are separated from one another. At least the engine body is disposed in the first partition space, and at least the battery is disposed in the second partition space.

The present invention provides a process for producing olefin having 3 or more carbon atoms from ethane stably in a simpler process. The present invention provides a method for producing olefin having a step of obtaining a cold fraction by cooling an ethane-cracked gas, which is obtained by thermal cracking of ethane in the presence of steam, to 600&#xb0; C. or less; and a step of obtaining a catalytic cracking gas containing olefin having 3 or more carbon atoms by bringing the cold fraction into contact with a catalyst containing a medium pore diameter zeolite.

Process and apparatus for producing olefin

The present invention provides a process for producing propylene, comprising contacting at least one of raw material selected from the group consisting of ethylene and ethanol with a catalyst containing a medium pore diameter zeolite in a fluidized bed reactor wherein the catalyst containing the medium pore diameter zeolite satisfies the following (a) through (e):

Propylene production process

A remote control unit capable of bidirectionally communicating with a display apparatus, such as a television set. The remote control unit comprises a display unit adapted to display an image transmitted from the display apparatus, a detector unit adapted to detect a state of a power supply of the remote control unit, and a switching unit adapted to switch a display mode of the display unit from a moving image mode to a still image mode, according to the state of the power supply.

Remote control unit

An information processor enabling a digital broadcast to be viewed at a child device at a low cost, a TV system and a program are provided. Video decoders are corrected to the post-stage of demultiplexers, respectively, and video data of MPEG divided by the demultiplexers is decoded by the video decoders. At this time, the video data of MPEG is converted into a display format of a base band in a raster scan form. A common memory having a capacity equivalent to at least one displayed image, and a memory controller controlling the operation of the common memory are further provided. Three write video data output from resolution converters is stored in the common memory under control by the memory controller.

Information processor, TV system, control method and program

There is provided a multi-screen synthesis apparatus that can execute display of video data and update of an OSD image without causing a user to feel a visual sense of incongruity, and reduce system costs. Periodic video source data and aperiodic OSD image data are written into a unified memory reserved for planes. The video source data and the OSD image data are read from the unified memory, based on a synthesis layout, for simultaneous display on a single display in a synthesized state. Video data to be written into the unified memory is decimated in units of a frame on an input video source-by-input video source basis. The decimation of the data is controlled based on display priority of the video data determined based on a multi-screen display layout.
