Abstract: [Object] To control (limit) the power usage of a group including a plurality of consumers so as to reduce failures caused by communication between a server serving as a controller and a consumer facility to be controlled. [Solution] A power control system for performing power control such that a target power set for a group including a plurality of consumers is not exceeded includes a server 300 that generates control information, and a control device 100 that controls power usage of an equipment device 200 in accordance with the control information. The server 300 sets a limit value of power usage of each consumer in the group, generates control information including the limit value, and transmits, before a corresponding time period starts, the generated control information to the control device 100 that performs control.

Abstract: A system that performs power control such that a target value set for a group including a plurality of consumers is not exceeded includes a first prediction unit that acquires a predicted value of power usage for each of the plurality of consumers, and a limit value setting unit that sets a limit value correlated with available power set for each consumer for a specific time period. The limit value setting unit sets the limit value such that when a predicted value of each of the plurality of consumers for the specific time period is relatively small, a value obtained by dividing the limit value by the predicted value is larger than when the predicted value is relatively large.

Abstract: Disclosed is a humidity control apparatus which ensures a sufficient dehumidification amount without increasing an area of a gas-liquid contact portion in a dehumidification unit, regardless of the type of liquid absorbent used. The humidity control apparatus includes an absorbent circuit connecting a liquid-based dehumidification module, a recovery module, and a liquid-cooling heat exchanger which cools, with a refrigerant, a liquid absorbent before being used in the liquid-based dehumidification module. A refrigerant-cooling-based dehumidification module is positioned upstream of the liquid-based dehumidification module in a flow direction of target air, and cools and dehumidifies, with the refrigerant, the target air before being dehumidified in the module. The liquid-cooling heat exchanger and the refrigerant-cooling-based dehumidification module are connected to a single refrigerant circuit together with a liquid-heating heat exchanger.

Abstract: A lens shift mechanism 32 of the projection-type image display device 10 includes a horizontal movable base 60 for horizontally shifting a projection lens 31, a vertical movable base 70 for vertically shifting the projection lens 31, and a horizontal drive actuator 61 and a vertical drive actuator 71 for driving these bases 60, 70. Driving forces of these actuators 61, 71 are transmitted via respective lead screws 671 (751) and a pair of lead nuts 672, 672b (752, 752b) meshing with the lead screws to shift the bases 60, 70. A pair of lead nuts are installed with elastic bodies 672c (752c) applying a pressure such that the pair of lead nuts recede from or approach each other in the axial direction of the lead screw. In this configuration, a delay in the shift operation is removed by reducing a backlash in the lens movement.

Abstract: A refrigeration system includes a heat source unit, a plurality of utilization units, a height-associated value detection unit and a pressure control unit. The heat source unit has a compressor and a heat source-side heat exchanger that functions as a radiator. Each utilization unit has a pressure reducer and a utilization-side heat exchanger that functions as an evaporator. The height-associated value detection unit detects a height-associated value of each utilization unit. The height associated value of each utilization unit corresponds to a height of the utilization unit. The height of each utilization unit is a vertical distance between the utilization unit and the heat source unit. The pressure control unit determines whether each of the utilization units is in operation or stopped and performs refrigerant pressure control based on the height-associated values of the utilization units that have been determined to be in operation.
