Abstract: A rectangular cell is a bottomed rectangular cell mounted in a photometric analyzer, and has an opening at a top end face for accommodating a test sample to be analyzed. The rectangular cell has a low flat area that is lower than an upper flat area on an inner face on a lower side of an outer face of a wall surface through which a measurement light from the analyzer is transmitted when the rectangular cell is mounted in the analyzer. This low area extends substantially over the entire width in the horizontal direction. When the rectangular cell is mounted in a recess in the photometric analyzer, an area through which the measurement light passes in the rectangular cell is not damaged by dust, even if fine hard dust adheres to the side surface of the recess. Further, the low region can have a mirror-finished surface by polishing.

Abstract: Power is supplied to electrical devices while priorities between the electrical devices are being changed according to the states of use by a user instead of predetermined fixed priorities between the electrical devices, supply of power from a commercial power source can be controlled in real time at a request for power required by the user, and supply of power meeting QoL required in user's daily life is controlled. A power manager determines power to be assigned to each electrical device by inquiring a home appliance agent of whether or not the electrical device is capable of adjusting an operating function mode set as a target of a service operation of the electrical device, and of power for the electrical device.

Abstract: A dynamic priority control apparatus of the present invention is characterized by including means that calculate a difference between instantaneous power of an initial target value and actual instantaneous power, initial target value updating means that take into account the difference, calculating priorities of electrical devices means based on electrical device property class data, and power arbitration means that determines the electrical devices to be supplied power based on the total value of the consumed power and the priorities of the electrical devices.
