  • Publication number: 20160229615
    Abstract: A pouch container and a pouch container packaging prevents oblique seals from turning back, thereby reducing risk of leakage from the pouch container. The pouch container packaging includes a pair of outer films disposed on front and back sides with a spout sandwiched at the top. Each outer film has side edges, a bottom and oblique edges lying between the side edges and the bottom edge. Pair of gusset films is disposed in a folded state between outer films and each has side and oblique edges. Side seals are provided by joining side edges of the outer films to the side edges of the gusset films. A bottom seal is provided by joining outer films along their bottom edges. Oblique seals are provided by joining oblique edges of outer films to oblique edges of gusset films. At least a portion of an inner edge of each oblique seal is curved.

  • Patent number: 6053001
    Abstract: There is provided a demand control apparatus which is less attenuated in the wall and which can be installed even after the completion of construction of a new house. The present invention comprises a demand control unit for converting a restriction signal for restricting an electric current flowing to a circuit breaker so as not to exceed a target current value into a radio signal composed of a predetermined format and then transmitting the same, and a control unit for performing a modification in a way to reduce power consumption of the air conditioner when the restriction signal from the demand control unit is judged to be effective to coincide with the format.

  • Patent number: 5588589
    Abstract: An air conditioner for reduction of energy consumption without impairing the comfortable feeling, which comprises a room temperature detector for detecting the room temperature of an air-conditioned room, temperature setting apparatus for setting a target temperature, air conditioning device for performing an air conditioning operation to bring the room temperature detected by the room temperature detector toward the target temperature, and target temperature charger, which corrects the target temperature to rise and fall periodically in accordance with a predetermined rule after the room temperature has substantially reached the target temperature through use of the air conditioning devices. The charger shifts the average value of the target temperature after the start of the correction in such a direction that the air conditioning load of the air conditioning device is reduced from that for attaining the target temperature before the correction.

  • Patent number: 5400852
    Abstract: An operation mode of an air condition is automatically set during an intermediate season so that the set operation mode can match the actual sensation of a user. A plurality of temperature zones are set defining a plurality of room-temperature ranges and a respective plurality of outside-temperature ranges, and operation modes are selectively assigned to each of the temperature zones. An operation mode is set according to the zone containing an actual room temperature and outside temperature. In addition, the temperature zones assignments are selectively changed according to a calendar date of operation.
