Abstract: According to one embodiment, a PMV estimating device calculates a PMV value from an average room radiation temperature, room temperature, room humidity, room air velocity, an amount of cloth worn by a person in the room, and an amount of activity of the person in the room. The PMV estimating device includes: indoor solar radiation calculator; solar radiated article temperature estimator; and average radiation temperature estimator. The indoor solar radiation calculator calculates an amount of solar radiation entered into the room. The solar radiated article temperature estimator estimates a temperature of a solar radiated article receiving the solar radiation entered into the room, by using the amount of solar radiation entered into the room calculated by the indoor solar radiation calculator. The average radiation temperature estimator estimates the average room radiation temperature by using the temperature of the solar radiated article estimated by the solar radiated article temperature estimator.

Abstract: A power reserve margin trading system according to one embodiment includes a reserve margin trading unit, a determination unit, and a trading consideration distribution unit. The reserve margin trading unit acquires a power reducible amount of a customer, trades the reducible amount as a reserve margin for demand adjustment, and acquires a consideration. The determination unit determines a rank of each customer by giving a higher rank to a customer having a smaller difference between a predicted power demand amount and a power consumption amount. The trading consideration distribution unit distributes a consideration to customers so that a portion of the consideration to be distributed varies depending on whether or not the power reduction request is transmitted.

Abstract: The invention provides an analgesic anti-inflammatory patch of a hydrophobic type for topical application containing, in a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive(PSA), diclofenac sodium, pyrrolidone or a derivative thereof, a polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester, and an organic acid. The patch exerts the following effects: (1) diclofenac sodium is effectively and continuously released from a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive(PSA) and percutaneously absorbed, thereby attaining sustained, excellent pharmaceutical and pharmacological effects; (2) the patch per se has high tackiness and safety; and (3) diclofenac sodium remains stable in the Pressure Sensitive Adhesive(PSA).

Abstract: In a structure where the lid portion is mounted on the main housing body comprising apertures and in such a manner as to turn freely thereon, the concave lock portion and the locking protrusion adjacent thereto capable of locking the lid in the closed state are located in the aperture side of the main housing body. The lid portion is provided with the hooking piece comprising the spring portion and the arc-shaped protrusion. When the lid portion turns to open or close the aperture portion, the arc-shaped protrusion comes into contact with the locking protrusion under pressure with the spring portion, in order that a force opposing to the turning direction may be applied thereto before and after it passes through the locking protrusion, to keep the lid portion in two states i.e. the open state and the closed state.
