Abstract: The present invention provides an adsorbent for adsorption heat pump and humidity-control air conditioner, which is capable of adsorbing an adsorbate therein and desorbing the adsorbate therefrom in a narrow relative vapor pressure range, and can be regenerated (desorption) at a low temperature. Also, the present invention provides an adsorption heat pump and humidity-control air conditioner using the adsorbent which can be effectively operated even by a low-temperature heat source, as well as methods of operating the adsorption heat pump and humidity-control air conditioner by effectively utilizing low-temperature exhaust heat.

Abstract: An adsorbent for regenerator systems, to a heat utilization system and a regenerator system that comprise the adsorbent, and to a ferroaluminophosphate and a method for production thereof. More precisely, the invention relates to an adsorbent favorable for regenerator systems, which efficiently utilizes the heat source obtainable from cars and the like to thereby realize efficient regenerator systems, to a regenerator system that comprises the adsorbent, to a ferroaluminophosphate to be the adsorbent favorable for regenerator systems, and to a method for production thereof.

Abstract: An adsorption heat pump is provided in which water vapor can be efficiently adsorbed and desorbed using a heat source having a lower temperature than ones heretofore in use because the pump employs an adsorbent which has a large difference in water adsorption amount in adsorption/desorption and can be regenerated (release the adsorbate) at a low temperature.

Abstract: A resin compound having high slidability is provided, comprising (A) polyphenylene sulfide resin, (B) polyethylene modified with an ethylenic unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or an ethylenic unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydride, (C) a silane coupling agent having an epoxy group, (D) polytetrafluoroethylene and (E) graphite.

Abstract: Heat storage/heat radiation is effected by a method comprising conducting heat storage/heat radiation in an apparatus containing a heat storage material of a sugar alcohol in an oxygen depleted atmosphere. The latent heat storage material does not suffer from any charge either in melting point or in the heat storage capacity even after repeated use.

Abstract: Provided is a heat storage material composition comprising at least one sugar alcohol selected from erythritol, mannitol and galactitol, and a salt which is sparingly soluble in the sugar alcohol. The heat storage material composition of the present invention can stably be used for a long period of time since the crystallization temperature is not decreased even if heat absorption and heat radiation are repeated.

Abstract: A target practice apparatus which allows a trainee to shoot at a target on a moving image with live bullets. The target practice apparatus includes a screen on which a training image is projected, three or more acoustic sensors for detecting an impact sound, impact coordinate measuring section for computing the coordinates of an impact position on the screen based on detection signals from the acoustic sensors, a projector, a playback unit for supplying the projector with an image signal, a recording medium which stores a hit image and a miss image as well as the training image, a memory unit in which a hit range and a miss range are previously stored for each frame of the training image, and a data processing and controlling section which compares the detected coordinates of the impact position with data of the hit range and the miss range stored in the memory unit to perform a hit/miss judgment, selects the hit image or the miss image based on the results of the judgment, and reproduces the selected image.
