Abstract: An apparatus and a method for heating and cooling with a refrigerant wherein the refrigerant is compressed by a compressor (1), and circulated to and from the compressor (1) through a condenser (3), an expansion valve (5) and an evaporator (7), in this order. A first fluid is heated with the heat generated in the condenser (3), and a second fluid is cooled with the cooling effect or cold generated in the evaporator (7). When heat is low and a temperature of the first fluid is decreased, the flow passages of the refrigerant are changed from entering into the evaporator (7) to entering into a second heat-exchanger (14) wherein the refrigerant is heated, and the heated refrigerant is entered into the compressor (1) and circulated. When the cooling effect or cold is low and a temperature of the second fluid is increased, the flow passages of the refrigerant are changed from entering into the condenser (3) to entering into a first heat exchanger (11) wherein the refrigerant is cooled, and the cooled refrigerant is entered into the evaporator (7) and circulated.

Abstract: At diesel engine startup, a fuel injection control system for the diesel engine injects a pre-jet of fuel into a combustion chamber in synchronism with a signal indicative of an angular position of the crankshaft of the diesel engine. After the pre-jet of fuel has been injected, the fuel injection control system injects a main jet of fuel which is larger in quantity than the injected pre-jet of fuel. Even when the engine rotational speed is low and subjected to variations as at engine startup, the pre-jet of fuel is reliably injected into the combustion chamber at a desired time. The pre-jet of fuel which is injected and ignited prior to the main jet develops an easily ignitable, activated condition in the combustion chamber. The subsequently injected main jet of fuel can thus be easily ignited by the activated condition in the combustion chamber. The diesel engine can be started quickly and smoothly without fail.

Abstract: Any valid displayed called number may be properly visually segmented by a call-processing arrangement (200) that uses stored definitions of syntax (320, 350) and grammar (400, 410) of the whole network numbering plan. The syntax definitions include definitions (312) of individual symbol strings and their associated display demarcations (360), if any -- such as spaces or dashes or parentheses -or even their associated replacement strings. Display demarcations or replacement strings that are specified for individual symbol strings are administratively reprogrammable to change the specified display demarcations or replacement string. Following dialing of an individual symbol string, the symbol string is identified and it or its replacement is displayed (986) on the display (19) of the caller's telephone set (17) along with any previously-dialed symbol strings and is demarcated therefrom as specified in the definition of the symbol string. A caller thus always receives a display of any valid dialed number either properly visually segmented into its logical components or replaced by its logical meaning.

Abstract: A switching regulator comprises a single transformer (10) having a primary winding (10a) connected in an input circuit (11) for receiving direct-current energy and a secondary winding (10b) connected in an output circuit (12), and a switching transistor (21) connected in series with the primary winding (10a). A high frequency pulse generator (22) triggers the switching transistor so that it interrupts the direct-current energy at a high frequency. A rectifier (43) is provided for converting high frequency energy developed in the secondary winding into direct-current output energy, which is maintained constant by controlling the high frequency pulse generator. A low voltage detector (24) produces a signal when the direct-current energy in the input circuit falls below a specified value. In response to the signal from the low voltage detector, constant direct-current energy is derived from a battery (40) and applied to the output circuit as backup power.
