Abstract: A hot water supplier monitoring system includes a monitoring server monitoring hot water suppliers via a communication network. The hot water supplier supplies hot water by adjusting temperature of hot water heated by a heat exchange unit using combustion heat from combustion operation. The monitoring server accumulates operation data of combustion operation transmitted from the suppliers, and predicts and notifies malfunction occurrence for each supplier based on trend of change in the data over time. The data includes number of flame quenchings of the combustion unit in combustion operation. The monitoring server divides the suppliers into groups according to installation areas, compares the number of quenchings of same period among the groups, compares with previous number of quenchings of same group, and, for a specific group determined having an abnormal number of quenchings, excludes the data determined having an abnormal number of quenchings and predicts malfunction occurrence for each supplier.

Abstract: A hot water supplier includes a combustion unit including multiple combustion stages; a combustion fan supplying combustion air; a fuel supply unit supplying fuel; a heat exchange unit; a water supply unit supplying hot water to heat exchange unit; a hot water tapping unit discharging hot water heated in heat exchange unit by using combustion heat obtained by burning fuel in combustion unit; and a control unit controlling heating operation. When reheating operation is allowed in which hot water from hot water tapping unit is returned to water supply unit and reheated by heat exchange unit, control unit stores heating time using only a combustion stage having minimum combustion capacity during reheating operation as time data. If this time data tends to increase over time, deterioration progress of a heat retaining material covering a hot water pipe to which hot water is supplied from hot water tapping unit is determined.

Abstract: An optical attenuator has a sampling prism, a biconcave lens and an absorption member. A branch member splits a laser beam. An expansion member expands the shape of the split laser beam. The absorption member absorbs the energy of the expanded laser beam. A light receiving part of the absorption member receives the expanded laser beam. A first distribution part of the absorption member adjacent to the light receiving part, introduces or leads out a medium (cooling water) from a first opening and distributes the medium, which absorbs heat generated in the light receiving part by the laser beam. A second distribution part of the absorption member leads out or introduces cooling water from a second opening, and distributes the cooling water, which moves through a communicating part that communicates with the first distribution part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cellulose powder usable for a satisfactory orally disintegrating tablet having excellent compression moldability and well-balanced tablet moldability and disintegration properties, which can obtain excellent ingestion feel without feeling roughness and dryness in the oral cavity, and more particularly to a cellulose powder with an average polymerization degree of 150 to 450, an average particle diameter of not less than 10 ?m but less than 100 ?m, and a primary particle ratio of 50% or more.
