Abstract: A light adjustment device includes a panel unit including a plurality of light adjustment panels stacked in a first direction, each light adjustment panel including a first substrate and a second substrate, the first substrate including a first terminal, the second substrate overlapping the first substrate and including a second terminal, and a metal film provided at a side part of the panel unit and extending in the first direction.

Abstract: Provided is an equipment controlling apparatus that includes a storage section that stores a time frame within which a setting of operation of a device disposed in a predetermined region is to be changed, and a control section that controls the device to change operation between a time frame set in advance in the storage section and a time frame different from the time frame.

Abstract: To propose a novel and improved equipment controlling apparatus by which appropriate monitoring can be performed for a person who is neither a family member nor a suspicious person. There is provided an equipment controlling apparatus that includes a storage section that stores a time frame within which a setting of operation of a device disposed in a predetermined region is to be changed, and a control section that controls the device to change operation between a time frame set in advance in the storage section and a time frame different from the time frame.

Abstract: A grounding connector for a shielded cable comprising a backshell, a cap nut, and a ring therebetween, wherein the ring is of a novel design having a single slit and at least three protrusions extending axially toward the cap nut, whereby previously used tube, stepped ring, and spring washers are all eliminated. The invention is thus substantially simplified from the prior art, has enhanced EMI prevention properties, greatly reduced costs, and greatly increased reliability, and improved performance.

Abstract: A connector backshell structure wherein a wedge-like ring having at least one slit extending along the entire longitudinal length thereof is used for holding a cable shield in tight contact with the tapered inner surface of the connector backshell, and a spring washer is used for elastically urging the ring toward the tapered surface with a cap nut pressing and fixing the spring washer to the open end of the backshell, whereby the contact between the cable shield and backshell is reliably maintained.
