  • Patent number: 12065056
    Abstract: A controller of an EMS server determines whether it has received a supply and demand request from a power transmission and distribution utility server. When having received the supply and demand request, the controller determines whether the supply and demand request is for requesting an increase in power demand or for requesting an increase in power demand. The controller decomposes the supply and demand request into first to third requests. The controller creates a negawatt DR execution plan or a posiwatt DR execution plan based on a determination result of S3. The controller allocates power adjustment resources to the first to third requests in consideration of responsiveness of each of the power adjustment resources. The controller transmits the first to third request signals to target power adjustment resources in accordance with the execution plan.

  • Patent number: 8820586
    Abstract: A provided powder/granular material feeding device fully satisfies the function of sufficiently preventing bridges and ratholes and the function of favorably stabilizing the filling rate of an outlet portion. Moreover, the powder/granular material feeding device does not require consumable items such as a flexible chute or leave a large amount of powder/granular material in a specific region inside a chute. The powder/granular material feeding device includes: a hopper 1 that receives powder/granular material; an outlet portion 2 that discharges powder/granular material; a chute 3 that guides, into the outlet portion 2, powder/granular material dropped from the hopper 1; and a stirring part 4 that rotates stirring members 4b about a shaft 4a protruding so as to tilt diagonally upward from the lower part of the interior of the chute 3.

  • Patent number: 5811051
    Abstract: A method of continuously draw-molding a fiber reinforced plastic rod formed with a spiral groove includes the steps of arranging in parallel a plurality of reinforcing fibers under tension, impregnating an unhardened thermosetting resin in the reinforcing fibers with tension being applied to the reinforcing fibers, winding a tape having a resin impregnable property and an expandible and contractible property around a fiber bundle composed of the thermosetting resin impregnated reinforcing fibers in a spiral fashion with a winding angle being substantially equal to an angle of the spiral groove with respect to an axial direction of a rod to be molded, passing the fiber bundle with the wound tape in a heating mold provided with a hole having a cross section substantially equal to that of the rod to be molded to heat and harden the thermosetting resin, and taking up the tape thereafter.

  • Patent number: 5004364
    Abstract: A device for advancing and retracting a writing element in a writing instrument, of the type comprising a cylinder, a stationary cam provided on an inner surface of the cylinder, a rotary cam follower disposed inside the stationary cam to be rotatable and slidable axially of the cylinder, the rotary cam follower being in abutting engagement at a front end thereof with the writing element, and a knocking rod disposed in the cylinder and having a front cam portion. When the knocking rod is pushed forward, the knocking rod, the stationary cam and the rotary cam follower cooperate to advance the writing element and maintain the same in an advanced position and to allow the writing element to retract to a retracted position. The knocking rod has projections which are in slidable engagement with slots formed axially through the cylinder. The knocking rod has slots to make it resilient.
