  • Patent number: 11531466
    Abstract: An equipment-management device associated with at least one of multiple pieces of equipment in a building under management, the equipment-management device including a display-information generator, a touchscreen, and an action-control-information generator. The display-information generator generates display information on a management screen wherein icons are arranged, each of the icons including an outer frame and a first area set at one end along the major axis within the outer frame. The touchscreen displays the display information and receives an input of information relating to an operation performed on the management screen. Upon detecting that a slide operation performed on one of the icons of the management screen from the first area through a first slide-operation detecting line set inside the outer frame excluding the first area, the action-control-information generator generates action-control information that switches the power supply of the corresponding equipment on or off.

  • Patent number: 11047495
    Abstract: A fluid control valve includes a valve unit, a valve casing, and a secondary molded member. The valve casing houses the valve unit therein and includes a first connection pipe part and a second connection pipe part. The first connection pipe part has a hollow pipe shape with a first engagement part. The second connection pipe part has a hollow pipe shape with a second engagement part. The first connection pipe part is connected to the second connection pipe part. The secondary molded member is made of a resin material and covers the first engagement part and the second engagement part to prevent the first connection pipe part from being detached from the second connection pipe part.
