Abstract: An appliance management system manages information about appliances. The system includes an information collection system and an information transmission apparatus. The information collection system includes a database storing the information about the appliances, and first and second reception processing units that write information about the appliances that has been received to the database. The information transmission apparatus includes a transmission unit that transmits the information about the appliances to the first or second reception processing unit via a communication line, and a transmission information creation unit that creates transmission information as the information about the appliances. The transmission information creation unit creates as the transmission information to be sent to the first and second reception processing units, first and second transmission information from first and second type information about the appliances, respectively.

Abstract: A discharge lamp device is provided that includes a light source device including a reflective surface. In the light source, noble gas not including mercury is excited to provide stable light emission and ozone or the like is prevented from being generated. This discharge lamp device includes airtight container (10) in which both end sections of a glass bulb are sealed. Airtight container (10) is filled with a discharge medium mainly including noble gas. One end section of airtight container (10) includes first electrode (11). Airtight container (10) is externally attached to insulating holder (20) having a square plate-like shape that includes penetration hole(s) (21) at one or a plurality of position(s). Holder (20) is fitted to second electrode (12) shaped to be a U-like groove so that a fixed interval between airtight container (10) and second electrode (12) is maintained.
