Abstract: An energy saving system acquires seat occupation information from a database of a seat occupation management system, detects equipment appliances of the places at which personnel are not seated, on the basis of the seat occupation information and transmits control information based on the detection result to an equipment control system so that unnecessary equipment appliances of the places where the personnel do not exist can be turned off. The energy saving linking system executes a processing for calculating optimal position and range in accordance with the seat occupation information, calculates an area providing the highest movement efficiency to overtime personnel and displays the calculation result.

Upon determination of the call to the transfer destination, the call is received while identifying a callee number to allow the use in a multi-user environment.

Abstract: The present invention provides an adsorbent for adsorption heat pump and humidity-control air conditioner, which is capable of adsorbing an adsorbate therein and desorbing the adsorbate therefrom in a narrow relative vapor pressure range, and can be regenerated (desorption) at a low temperature. Also, the present invention provides an adsorption heat pump and humidity-control air conditioner using the adsorbent which can be effectively operated even by a low-temperature heat source, as well as methods of operating the adsorption heat pump and humidity-control air conditioner by effectively utilizing low-temperature exhaust heat. The absorbent of the present invention comprises zeolite containing (i) aluminum, (ii) phosphorus and (iii) iron and/or gallium in a skeletal structure thereof, which is substantially free from change in structure upon subjecting the adsorbent to adsorption and desorption of water vapor.

Abstract: There is provided an IP extension phone system including: a first server; a second server; and a portable IP phone, wherein when the second server detects connection of the portable IP phone, the second server assigns an IP address corresponding to the connected position to the portable IP phone, the portable IP phone registers the IP address in the first server, and the first server records an extension number and the IP address of the portable IP phone in an extension number management table and further records the extension number in a group management table while associating the extension number with a group corresponding to a segment of the IP address.

Abstract: In a TC system, there are provided a softphone and a communication system capable of automatically switching an operation mode in accordance with the environment of a system user. A module of a TC-version softphone and a module of a normal-version softphone are configured as one softphone, so that when using a TC terminal, the softphone functions as a TC-version softphone, and when using separately a PC placed on a user's desk, the softphone functions as a normal-version softphone. Further, there is provided means for monitoring and determining a state of connection or disconnection of the TC terminal used in the TC system, so that an operation mode is automatically switched for processing in accordance with the environment of a system user.

Abstract: An IP telephone includes a unit that reads out own telephone number information, and a unit that notifies, to a PC, the telephone number information read out through a network, in which the PC also includes a unit that receives the notification from the IP telephone. According to the constitution, the PC and IP telephone can be cooperated dynamically with each other without presetting a telephone number etc. thereto. Further, in the case where a softphone is installed in the PC, a call directed to the softphone is transferred automatically to the IP telephone by the softphone, enabling the IP telephone to be used in substitution for a handset of the softphone.

The heat storage material composition of the present invention can stably be used for a long period of time since the crystallization temperature is not decreased even if heat absorption and heat radiation are repeated.

Abstract: Merchandise temperature sensors 16 for detecting merchandise temperatures simultaneously with in-housing temperature sensors 17 for detecting the in-housing air temperature of a merchandise housing are provided in the merchandise housing of a vending machine. Further, the cooling mechanism is controlled by means of the merchandise temperature sensor 16 during the peak shift or peak cut, whereas the cooling mechanism is controlled by means of in-housing temperature sensor 17 during normal operation. Thus the merchandise temperature is directly detected during the peak shift or peak cut where the temperature sharply varies so as to increase merchandise temperature control accuracy. Even when the installation of the merchandise temperature sensors is limited to some columns in view of cost reduction, the cooling mechanism is made controllable by collectively detecting the merchandise temperature in the whole column by means of the in-housing temperature sensors 17 during the normal operation.
