摘要:
A heat accumulator includes a heat storage tank and a latent heat accumulating material which fills the tank. The heat accumulating material remains in a stable supercooled condition at temperatures lower than a predetermined phase transformation temperature, and is released from the supercooled condition by a releasing device. The releasing device includes a holding member, which is mounted on the storage tank such that it is capable of touching the accumulating material and which holds a seed material. A driving mechanism drives the holding member so that the seed material comes into contact with the heat accmulating material for a predetermined period of time, releasing the latter from its supercooled condition.

A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a heat accumulating unit for accumulating an exceess heat generated during the operation of a refrigeration cycle main unit and radiating the accumulated heat at a desired time. The accumulating unit includes a heat accumulating container and latent heat accumulating material housed in the container. The material has a predetermined phase transition temperature and a supercooling state release temperature which is lower than the phase transition temperature. The material maintains a supercooling state at a temperature between the phase transition temperature and the supercooling state release temperature. When the material is cooled by a release mechanism to a temperature below the supercooling state release temperature, the supercooling state of the material is released and the material radiates the accumulated heat. The radiated heat is used for heating the refrigerant to be sent a compressor at the start of the heating or defrosting operation of the main unit.

A latent heat regenerating apparatus includes a regenerative tank wherein a latent heat regenerative material is housed. The material has a phase transition temperature and a supercooling-release temperature and is capable of maintaining a supercooled-state in a temperature range between the temperatures. A thermoelectric cooling element is located in the regenerative material so as to control supercooling of the material. The element has a heat radiating portion for radiating heat into the material and a heat absorbing portion for absorbing heat from the material, thereby cooling that portion of the material near the absorbing portion to a temperature lower than the supercooling-release temperature.

An information processing apparatus configured to create a schedule to be presented to a user includes an estimation unit and a creation unit. The estimation unit is configured to estimate whether or not the user acts in accordance with a first schedule including a task to do for accomplishing a preset aim. The creation unit is configured to create, when estimated that the user does not act in accordance with the first schedule, a new second schedule for accomplishing the aim from a state of the user who acts without following the first schedule.

摘要:
A server apparatus includes a first storage, a second storage, a communication unit, and a controller. The first storage is configured to store statistical information that is generated by performing a statistical process of a plurality of pieces of first meta and second meta information and that indicates a frequency of the first meta information. The second storage is configured to store a plurality of pieces of content information that indicates one of a commodity content and a service content to be recommended. The communication unit is configured to receive, from a client apparatus, the second meta information. The controller is configured to select content information relating to the first meta information having predetermined frequencies or more with respect to the received second meta information from the plurality of pieces of content information stored, and control the communication unit to transmit the content information to the client apparatus.

A broadcast receiver includes an input unit, a receiving unit, a control unit, a main memory, a demultiplexer unit, and a decoding unit. A transport stream of digital packetized data includes various data types identified by various parameters within the packet header. A filtering table lists select identifying parameters representing the various data types which are to be stored and processed. Data packets which do not have a select parameter found within the filtering table are ignored by the broadcast receiver. The filtering table is scalable by a control unit to an optimum size, which is the minimum size necessary to store all necessary parameters. A control unit determines the number of parameters required in the filtering table, and scales the filtering table to accommodate that number of parameters.

A clothes dryer has a heat pump. In drying operation, that portion of an airflow path which is between a rotating container and an evaporator is opened and air in the rotating container is circulated through the airflow path. In cooling the place where the dryer is placed, a discharge airflow path running from that portion of the airflow path which is between the rotating container and the evaporator to the outside of the dryer is opened, and air introduced from an air inlet is passed through the evaporator and discharged from a discharge airflow path, and at the same time, a condenser is cooled by a cooling device.
