Abstract: In an electrochemical gas sensor (10), a first sensing element (21) is stored in a first storage portion (31). A moisture permeable film (24) is disposed in a first introduction inlet (31A) of the first storage portion (31). The moisture permeable film (24) substantially prevents a to-be-detected gas from permeating therethrough. A second sensing element (22) is disposed in a space into which water vapor and the to-be-detected gas contained in a target gas flow. In such a configuration, the electrochemical gas sensor (10) is capable of detecting a to-be-detected gas having a concentration of 0 or more and 1 ppm or less.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a technique for even more firmly joining metal threads of a metal fabric together. A sheet member is formed from a metal fabric that is woven from metal warp threads and metal weft threads such that the metal warp threads and the metal weft threads alternately cross each other, the metal warp threads and the metal weft threads individually including a linear metal strand made of a metal and a coating portion that covers a circumference of the metal strand. The sheet member includes a welded portion where the coating portions of the metal warp threads and the coating portions of the metal weft threads are joined together at crossing portions of the metal warp threads and the metal weft threads.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a system, comprising intelligent switches (1-9), which are embedded on wall surface near entrance on each floor, possessing display unit with touch panel on the front, displaying and outputting the selection menu and the information from the display screen, an information processing unit (10) connected with each of the intelligent switches through the communication line and sending, receiving and processing the information, and the regulatory systems (35-37) in the building. The control signals of the regulatory systems (35-37) in the building are input and the information from the information processing unit (10) is output by the display plate with touch panel (6) of the intelligent switch. According to this system, it is possible to install the intelligent switch system by embedding it in the wall surface near an entrance on each floor, to offer the necessary information such as messages, news, information, etc. and to control the regulatory systems in the building.
