Patent number: 8560090Abstract: There is provided a monitor and control apparatus capable of enlarging a volume of a body, while ensuring a space for routing signal lines between a rear face of the body and a bottom surface of a mounting hole. The body 5 has a rear face including: a first face having terminal sections protruded; and a second face protruded backwardly relative to the first face by a stepped portion. An internal space of the body on the second face side is enlarged backwardly more than that on the first face side. The stepped portion is formed in the middle of the rear face of the body in the horizontal direction, which defines a right-half portion as the first face, and a left-half portion as the second face.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2010Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Tomoaki Sasaki, Kei Miura, Keisuke Yoshikawa

Patent number: 8340787Abstract: In a monitoring and control device for use in a remote monitoring and control system, a device housing has a socket located behind a display panel and an external storage medium including a rewritable memory is removably mounted in the socket. The device housing is attached in an attachment hole formed in a wall in a state that the external storage medium is mounted in the socket. A control unit performs a setting operation for a graphic image displayed on the display panel and for the load control in accordance with setting information stored in the external storage medium. The external storage medium is inserted in the socket through an insertion slot formed in a side portion of the device housing, at least a portion of the insertion slot being received in the attachment hole in a state that the device housing is attached to the wall.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2010Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Keisuke Yoshikawa, Tomoaki Sasaki, Katsuhiko Kimura, Kei Miura, Akihiro Hiroishi, Satoshi Kitamura, Yulchiro Naoi, Mototsugu Kawamata, Yuichi Yoshimura

Patent number: 8294576Abstract: An infrared sensor switch of the invention comprises an infrared sensor with a detection range, and a controller that uses the sensor to try to detect whether or not a person is present in the detection range and controls an ON or OFF state of a corresponding load unit based on each detection result obtained from the sensor. The switch further comprises a sensor block comprising the sensor, and a housing that is mounted in a wall and retains the block so that the center axis of the detection range can be rotated about a horizontal axis and as well as rotated up to at least 40 degrees downward from a forward direction of 0 degrees.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2007Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Matsushita Electric Works, Ltd.Inventors: Makiko Matsuoka, Tomohiro Ieki, Koji Yokota, Hajime Yabu, Susumu Nakano, Kei Miura
