  • Publication number: 20230182432
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a packing body of a composite laminate, including: a bottom supporting portion; a back-surface supporting portion; a pressing portion; and a fastening mechanism. The fastening mechanism is provided in only a central region in an up-down direction, in both of upper and lower regions, or in all of the upper, the central, and the lower regions. An end-to-end dimension from an end portion of the glass sheet in a region corresponding to the fastening position to a nearest end portion of the resin film is 5 mm or more and 30 mm or less. An average value of gap distances, each of which is a distance between facing sheet surfaces adjacent to each other in the region corresponding to the fastening position, is 20 ?m or more and 80% or less of a thickness of the resin film before fastening.

  • Patent number: 10615602
    Abstract: In a power control system, a control device acquires at least one of information about an external environment (result or predicted temperature) of a facility and information on a parameter associated with power consumption (production plan) in an internal environment of the facility and calculates a correlation between these pieces of information and actual consumed power. The control device predicts consumed power of the facility on the basis the correlation that is calculated and information such as predicted temperature and determines an upper limit set value of power supplied from an electrical grid to the facility on the basis of a result of the prediction. The control device supplies power charged in a storage battery to the facility when the consumed power of the facility exceeds the upper limit set value.
