Abstract: Increase in number of valves complicates the configuration and control. A temperature control apparatus for controlling a temperature of a device, includes; a heat exchange section exchanging heat with the device; a main flow path causing a fluid to flow; a sub flow path causing, to flow, a fluid having a temperature different from a temperature of the fluid flowing through the main flow path; a mixture flow path merging the fluids from the main flow path and the sub flow path and causing the merged fluids to flow to the heat exchange section; and a flow rate adjusting section adjusting an amount of a fluid flowing from the sub flow path to the mixture flow path, in relation to the fluid flowing through the main flow path.

Abstract: A power-supply control device includes a transition section, a body-capable-of-movement detection section, a return control section, a reference-time-period setting section, a state determination section, and a correction section. The transition section shifts a state of an operation target section from one state to another state among a power-supply state and multiple types of non-power-supply states. The body-capable-of-movement detection section detects a body capable of movement. The return control section controls the transition section so as to return the state of the operation target section to the power-supply state. The reference-time-period setting section sets a reference time period. The state determination section checks a state of detection of the body capable of movement after the reference time period elapses. The correction section corrects the reference time period on the basis of detection position information.

Abstract: A device includes a first receiving unit that receives a supply voltage supplied from a control device, a second receiving unit that receives from the control device a control signal for executing a predetermined operation in each functional unit, a setting unit that sets the predetermined operation in a setting section when the second receiving unit receives the control signal indicating the predetermined operation to be executed in each functional unit when the supply voltage is in an OFF state, and a controller that performs control to execute the predetermined operation, which is set in the setting unit, in each functional unit when the supply voltage received by the first receiving unit is in an OFF state.

Abstract: Provided is, particularly, a cationic asphalt emulsion composition which is scarcely affected by temperature during paving and by the characteristics of the aggregates to be used, can secure a sufficient time required to mix aggregates and enables slurry fluidity suitable for paving. The asphalt emulsion composition contains asphalt and water, the composition comprising kraft lignin (A) having a molecular weight of 4000 to 60000 and a specific polyamine (B) in each specific ratio to the asphalt emulsion composition.

Abstract: The present invention provides a stabilizer for asphalt emulsion by which asphalt emulsion having a good chemical stability and being excellent in stationary stability and storage stability can be obtained. A polyoxyethylene adduct compound having a terminal group A selected from a C8-22 alkyl group etc., a terminal group B selected from C1-4 alkyl group etc., and 130 to 500 oxyethylene groups on the average for bonding the terminal groups A and B is used as a stabilizer for asphalt emulsion.

Abstract: Food package according to the present invention comprises a container made of soft material and having a trunk substantially shaped in a cylinder, a truncated cone or an inverted truncated cone, and a bottom formed in its substantially central zone with a push-out aperture provided with a removable seal, and filled with viscous or semisolid food wherein the container has a sealed upper opening.

Abstract: Here is disclosed a microwave transmissive container used to heat precooked food filled therein in a microwave oven, comprising a bottom plate, a side wall extending upward from periphery of the bottom plate and a cap bonded to upper edge of the side wall to close the container, the container being characterized by that: the bottom plate is provided in the vicinity of its central zone with a hollow prominence extending through the bottom plate upward to a level such that a top vent hole of the prominence lies an upper space within the container so that vapor generated from upper surface of the precooked food as it is heated in the microwave oven may be taken in by the top vent hole of the prominence and guided to lower side of the bottom plate.

Abstract: A food container for microwave heating or cooking has: a bottom portion having an area which is covered with a microwave non-transmittable material and which is located between the center and the periphery of the bottom portion; a side wall having an area covered with a microwave non-transmittable material; and a leg structure provided under the bottom portion. The temperature rises in the center portion and near the circumferential side portion is facilitated, thereby effectively and easily achieving uniform heating of a food such as a frozen food.

Abstract: Disclosed is an asphalt composition to which a water soluble prepolymer which is resinified while the reaction proceeds gradually in the aqueous solution is added, wherein the strength of the asphalt composition is notably improved. Further, the resinification speed can freely be controlled by the action of a resinification accelerator. Accordingly, the additive for the emulsified asphalt and the asphalt composition for blending at cold temperatures can be applied effectively to various applications such as road pavement, railroad, waterproof agents, and adhesives.
