Abstract:
An apparatus for detecting a pipe length in an air conditioning system includes a detector to detect a signal traveled through a pipe; and a processor to determine a pipe length based on the detected signal.
Abstract:
An apparatus for adjusting a fixing pressure of an image forming apparatus is provided. The apparatus for adjusting the fixing pressure includes a pair of pressing members to rotatably support an axis of a first roller from both ends and to rotate about a hinge shaft to cause the first roller to press against a second roller, a pair of hinge cams to move the hinge shaft of the pair of pressing members in either of two directions, a driving unit to rotate the pair of hinge cams, and a control unit to control the driving unit to adjust the position of the hinge shaft.
Abstract:
An integrated management system for controlling multi-type air conditioners can use a remote integrated management system to securely and automatically back up setting information for a local controller provided in at least one air conditioner system, which is disposed in a room or office and is being operated, thereby allowing an improvement of stability of the integrated management system.
Abstract:
A building management system controller of a local operating network controls a multi-air conditioner system having a different communications network protocol. The building management system includes a controller for centrally controlling subsystems in the building including an air conditioner system, and is connected to the local operating network and a gateway that converts data between the local operating network and a network of the multi-air conditioner.
Abstract:
A central control system for airconditioner(s) and a method for controlling the same. The central control system can centrally control a plurality of airconditioners connected to the same communication network. In the system, a protocol converter connected to a central controller converts a communication standard of a signal communicated between the airconditioners and the central controller into another communication standard, acquires connection state information by scanning connection state information of individual airconditioners, and transmits the acquired information to the central controller, such that a manager can correctly monitor an airconditioner state using the central controller, resulting in the implementation of a reliable control system.
Abstract:
A portable terminal includes a main body, cradle mounted to the main body, and a covering with one portion fixed on the cradle, the covering surrounding at least one surface of the main body. Accordingly, the appearance of the portable terminal may be diversified by providing the covering using the cradle that can be mounted to the main body of the portable terminal. Thus, various textures and colors can be provided according to the structure of the covering, and the covering can be separated from the cradle, thereby contributing to the diversification of the design of the portable terminal.
Abstract:
An airconditioner system for integrating multiple areas. A plurality of multi-airconditioners are grouped into some groups. CPU connected in parallel to individual multi-airconditioner groups, that have been distributed and installed in a wide area or building, controls individual multi-airconditioner groups to be operated simultaneously, resulting in a shorter control time. Although an unexpected communication failure occurs in one multi-airconditioner group, the remaining multi-airconditioner groups other than the erroneous multi-airconditioner group can be normally controlled, resulting in increased stability and reliability of an overall airconditioning system.
