Abstract: An air-conditioning system includes a second control device that is communicable with a first control device that controls a first system including a first air-conditioning device by first communication using a first communication protocol, to control a second system including a second air-conditioning device by second communication using a second communication protocol different from the first communication protocol, in which the second control device is communicable with the first control device by third communication using an XML communication protocol, acquires first control information from the first control device by the third communication, the first control information being used for controlling the first system, creates second control information based on the first control information acquired by the third communication, the second control information causing the second system to execute control corresponding to control of the first system.

Abstract: The present invention provides an intermediate film for laminated glass that can increase the heat-insulating properties of laminated glass. The intermediate film for laminated glass according to the present invention is an intermediate film for laminated glass having a one-layer structure or a laminated structure of two or more layers, an intermediate film 1 for laminated glass has a first layer 2 containing silicon dioxide particles 51 having hollow parts and shell parts and having a porosity of 40% or more and 80% or less, when the intermediate film 1 for laminated glass has a one-layer structure, the first layer further contains a thermoplastic resin, and when the intermediate film 1 for laminated glass has a laminated structure of two or more layers, the intermediate film 1 for laminated glass further has a second layer 3 which is arranged on a first surface 2a side of the first layer 2 and which contains a thermoplastic resin.

Abstract: Hollow nanoparticles having an average particle size of 30 to 300 nm and each including a shell mainly including calcium silicate.

Abstract: Skeleton nanoparticles and method of forming the same. The skeleton nanoparticles comprise silica shells. Each of the silica shells has a shape of a cubic frame formed of six faces as a whole. The cubic frame is hollow inside and pores are formed between quadrilateral silica frames on respective faces of the cubic frame. The method comprising: coating an organic acid on surfaces of calcium carbonate particles; dispersing the organic acid-coated calcium carbonate particles in an organic solvent that dissolves a part of the organic acid in the organic acid-coated calcium carbonate particles, and further mixing a silicon alkoxide and a base catalyst to form silica-forming particles by forming the silica shell along an edge of the calcium carbonate particles; and dissolving the calcium carbonate at an inside of the silica-forming particles by an acid treatment.

Abstract: A pigment for ink-jet recording contains a porous particle, a sealing agent, and an inorganic pigment layer containing an inorganic pigment. The sealing agent is arranged in a pore opening of the porous particle. The inorganic pigment layer is formed on the surface of the porous particle.
