  • Patent number: 9478986
    Abstract: A load leveling system and a method for a power system are capable of attaining load leveling in a distribution substation unit. The load leveling system is for a power system with a controller having a major customer and lower transforming apparatus, and with a customer connected to the lower transforming apparatus via a low-voltage line. The system also has a communication unit between the customer and its own system, and control use time zones of devices within the customer, as well as an electric demand prediction unit, and a first load leveling processing unit. By employing such a system, it becomes possible to provide a load leveling system for a power system that is capable of realizing load leveling of both a distribution substation unit and a pole transformer unit.

  • Patent number: 6398200
    Abstract: In a vibration isolating mount having a toe correcting mechanism (5) and installed with bored portions (21) and an axial stopper (6) in a rubber-like elastic body (4) between an inner and an outer cylinder (2) and (3), as the stopper (6), a portion of the outer cylinder on a side opposed to the toe correcting mechanism (5) interposing the inner cylinder (2) is extended in the axial direction and stopper rubber (4c) is arranged at a front end of the extended portion (13) by which a rubber vulcanizing mold can be divided in an upper and a lower portion thereof even with the bored portion (21), simplification of mold structure is achieved and light-weighted formation and durability of the mount are promoted.
