  • Publication number: 20220349609
    Abstract: An air conditioning system of the present disclosure includes: sensors disposed on a plurality of openings connecting an underfloor space of a double floor and an upper side of the double floor; a wing that is disposed in the underfloor space under the opening and is configured to divert an air flow direction in the underfloor space by changing a slant angle of the wing; and a control device that is configured to acquire ideal values set in a plurality of the sensors, acquire actual measurement values from the plurality of sensors, calculate an average error from a difference between each of the ideal values and each of the actual measurement values, and change the slant angle of the wing to reduce the average error.

  • Publication number: 20220318448
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a cable route design method that makes it possible to select a route for routing a communication cable in consideration of an influence of an air-conditioning airflow under a double floor. According to the present cable route design method, cables are routed such that an air-conditioning space under a double floor becomes as uniform as possible, a floor is modeled in a mesh structure, and one of cable routing patterns is applied to each of meshes and an air-conditioning airflow is calculated by a finite volume method, thereby indexing (an evaluation value) an air-conditioning efficiency. This enables comparison between a plurality of cable routing ideas, making it possible to find an optimal routing route.

  • Patent number: 7744290
    Abstract: The optical fiber connector includes a connector housing (21), having a splice assembly (13) therein, and an end cap (5) attached to one end of the connector housing (21), from which leads out a primary coating portion (3). A boundary (4c) between a portion of the primary coating portion (3), obtained by removing an outer coating (4b) of the inner cover (4) while leaving an inner coating (4a), and a portion obtained by leaving the outer coating (4b) of the inner cover (4), is located in the interior of the connector housing (21). The end cap (5) is provided in the interior thereof with a tubular portion and an extension extending from an end of the tubular portion, the tubular portion including an insert hole for an insertion of the primary coating portion (3) approximately coaxially with a guiding hole formed in the splice assembly accommodated in the connector housing (21) for guiding the primary coating portion (3) leading out from the splice assembly.

  • Patent number: 7341381
    Abstract: A cantilever type latch having the fixed end on the side of exposing the terminal end surface of the optical fiber is provided on the side of the plug housing. Near the center of the upper surface of the latch, an engaging projection which is to be engaged in the engaging hole formed in the adapter or the receptacle is formed. The engaging projection has the slope which decreases the height toward the fixed end side of the latch, in which the gradient of the slope is nearly equal to or greater than the rotation angle required for the elastic deformation of the latch with the fixed end functioned as the fulcrum. Thereby easy disconnecting of the latch is implemented.
