Abstract: A new cultivar of hybrid Clematis, ‘Kokonoe’, that is characterized by its unique flower shape with the tepals forming a star-shape and topped with numerous layers of tepaloids and a center of curled in tepaloids, its floriferous blooming habit, and its flowers that are a warm purple color with center tepaloids lighter purple in color.

Abstract: Provided is temperature-controlled air circulation type bedding which introduces the blowoff air generated by temperature control unit into an air flow passage provided around a bedding body so as to cool or warm the body of a person in the bedding, controls the blowoff air temperature to form a comfortable sleeping environment irrespective of an external atmosphere temperature, suppresses discharge of carbon dioxide gas, etc. with a compact configuration, and has low power consumption. The temperature-controlled air circulation type bedding includes a temperature control unit 2 which controls the blowoff air temperature by a cooling or heating action, and a bedding body 3 which provides an air flow passage 27 which allows the blowoff air from the temperature control unit to be introduced and circulated therethrough, and cools or warms the inside thereof.

Abstract: Provided is a vehicle-mounted temperature control device capable of effectively discharging the exhaust air, which is generated during the driving of a temperature control unit which blows off cooled or warmed air, to the outside of a vehicle. A temperature control unit (1) which blows off the air temperature-controlled by a cooling or warming action is attached to the inside (2) of a vehicle, and an exhaust port (33) is provided at the wall (2a) of a vehicle body to discharge the exhaust air generated during the driving of the temperature control unit to the outside of the vehicle.

Abstract: Provided is a vehicle-mounted temperature control device (2) capable of suppressing resource wasting or environmental contamination during an idling stop, an easily installed vehicle-mounted refrigeration unit which blows off cooled or warmed air to the inside of a vehicle, and selectively cooling or warming not only a napping cabin behind the driver's seat, but also the driver's seat. The vehicle-mounted temperature control device includes a refrigeration unit having a refrigeration cycle in which a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator to which driving electric power is supplied by a battery 5 are annularly connected; a temperature control chamber formed from a heat-insulating wall body having a blowoff air trunk and a return air trunk and having a circulation fan and the evaporator in the refrigeration cycle housed therein; and a machine chamber in which the compressor, the condenser, and a radiation fan which cools the compressor and condenser are disposed.

Abstract: It is aimed to provide a bone-conduction speaker device which makes no leakage of sound annoying the other and does not restrict posture and rolling-over motion of the user when lying on a bed or sitting on a sofa, and which makes highly reliable and excellent transmission and receiving of sound signal as to enable enjoying of music or the like with almost no locational restrictions. The speaker device comprises: a transmitter converting the inputted sound signal into output of infrared signal and then transmitting it; a receiver demodulating the inputted infrared signal into the sound signal; a bone-conduction speaker amplifying the sound signal and outputting it as sound vibration; and a pad-shaped elastic cushioning body holding on its surface the bone-conduction speaker, thereby forming a pad embedded with the bone-conduction speaker(s). Photo-acceptors for the receiver are arranged on fringe of the cushioning body as spaced apart to each other.

Abstract: A fan suitable for use in a refrigerator includes a motor frame having a bracket insertion hole, a bracket including a cylindrical portion fitted into the bracket insertion hole so as to project from the motor frame and a bearing, a stator including a stator core, a stator coil wound on the stator core, and a molded layer molded from a synthetic resin so as to cover the stator core and the stator coil, the stator being disposed on an outer periphery of the cylindrical portion projecting from the bracket insertion hole so as to be supported by the cylindrical portion and the motor frame, a rotor including a rotational shaft inserted into the cylindrical portion so as to be rotatably mounted via the bearing on the bracket and having both ends, a rotor yoke disposed on one end of the shaft opposite to the motor frame so as to cover the stator, and a rotor magnet disposed on an inner circumferential face of the rotor yoke so as to be opposed to an outer circumferential face of the stator core with a gap between t

Abstract: A new cultivar of hybrid Clematis, ‘Taiga’, characterized by its large, double flowers, its purple flowers with the tips of the outer tepaloids uniquely colored light yellow-green with center tepaloids light yellow-green, and its sterile flowers with no reproductive organs present.
