Abstract: An electric power demand adjustment program management apparatus, comprises a server which includes: a communication unit that communicates with a plurality of customer terminals that manage customer devices through a communication network; a program unit that creates an electric power demand adjustment program showing a demand adjustment amount allocated to at least one first customer terminal selected from the plurality of customer terminals in each predetermined time segment, based on predetermined constraint conditions and predetermined information received from the plurality of customer terminals; a program executing unit that transmits the electric power demand adjustment program, and instructs the first customer terminal to execute the electric power demand adjustment program; and a providing unit that provides, when the program unit fails to create the electric power demand adjustment program, investigation result information including an investigation result for a cause of the failure.

Abstract: An oil-release space (18) is formed along a lower side portion (17) of a cylinder lateral and peripheral wall (3) below an oil-cooling jacket (4). A reinforcing plate (19) spans between the lower side portion (17) of the cylinder lateral and peripheral wall (3) and a bottom wall (10) of a push-rod chamber (8) below the oil-release space (18). The oil-release space (18) is communicated with an oil outlet (20) of an oil-return passage (7). Engine oil that has passed through the oil-return passage (7) is released from the oil outlet (20) into the oil-release space (18). The engine oil released into the oil-release space (18) is guided by an upper surface of the reinforcing plate (19) to drop from a led-out end (25) on a rear side of the reinforcing plate (19) onto a rear side space (24).

Abstract: A method for efficiently manufacturing a large-area Mo-based target plate at a high yield is provided. In the manufacturing method, the condition of the content of a trace element and the rolling condition are used in combination to reduce the deformation resistance and to suppress the occurrence of cracks such as edge cracking. The method for manufacturing an Mo-based sputtering target by rolling an Mo-based ingot includes the steps of: manufacturing the Mo-based ingot in which the oxygen concentration is controlled to 10 ppm by mass or more and 1000 ppm by mass or less; and heating and rolling the Mo-based ingot at a rolling temperature of 600° C. or more and 950° C. or less.
