Abstract: A repository including: an input unit (3) for setting the temperature of the interior (2) of a repository (1); a measuring unit (5,6) for measuring the temperature of the interior of the repository (1); a controller (4) for holding ID data to specify the repository itself and communicatively outputting the measurement data to the external; and an auxiliary power source (13) for communicating the measurement data to the external even during interruption of power supply. A central controller 11 for collecting the measured data from each repository and judging whether abnormality occurs or not is connected to plural repositories to fabricate a monitoring system. When abnormality is detected, the measured data as well as ID data and time data are transmitted to a user through the Internet.

Abstract: A refrigerating apparatus improves the insulating effect of a refrigerating chamber which is maintained at ultra low temperatures by a twin refrigerating apparatus. A vertical ultra low-temperature freezer 1 is composed of an insulating frame with a composite structure of a vacuum insulating panel and a foam insulating material, an insulating door with a composite structure of vacuum insulating panels and a foam insulating material, and a twin refrigerating apparatus which cools goods stored in the insulating frame. Ultra low temperatures are produced by the twin refrigerating apparatus in which a high-temperature side refrigerant circuit and a low-temperature side refrigerant circuit are in cascade connection.

Abstract: A preserver for preserving drugs, comprising a door detector for detecting opening/closing the door of the preserver; a controller for determining whether the door was opened or not during a predetermined period of time based on the signal supplied by the door detector. When it is determined that the door was not opened at all in the period, the controller generates an alarm signal indicative of the determination to an administrator of the preserver. Upon receipt of the alarm signal, the administrator informs a medical facility of the situation, so that a further organized administration of the medical treatment may be provided.

Abstract: A cultivating apparatus designed so that cultivating containers for cultivating cultures can be mounted therein and the inside of the apparatus is hermetically sealed by closing a door of said apparatus to cultivate the cultures, is provided with a sterilizing lamp for emitting light for sterilizing germs such as bacteria, etc. contained in the gas in the apparatus. The sterilizing lamp comprises an ultraviolet lamp for emitting ultraviolet rays in which light of 200 nm or less in wavelength is cut off.
