  • Publication number: 20220222725
    Abstract: To easily know how much a health-related countermeasure product has a countermeasure effect level, and how much countermeasure can be taken against regional weather environment forecast information. A two-dimensional code 1 incorporating countermeasure effect level information for each health-related countermeasure category is attached to a product. On the other hand, there is a mobile terminal device 2 capable of automatically inputting the planned activity amount in exercise and work, the physical condition status, the pulse rate, and the body temperature. The health-related countermeasures information processing equipment 3 connected to the communication network also obtains weather information such as temperature, humidity and heat index, ultraviolet rays, and pollen scattering amount for each region from the weather forecast prediction data transmission device 4. Then, the necessary countermeasure level is generated.

  • Patent number: 9271530
    Abstract: Water absorbing material provided in a planar shape over the substantially entire surface of a front side surface of cooling clothing is layered with an intermediate cloth having air permeability and a waterproof material or sheet, which is waterproof, to be sandwiched and wrapped therewith. By sewing or by sealing and joining the intermediate cloth and waterproof cloth or sheet, waterproof water dividers having length in the horizontal direction are provided at a suitable inclined angle of locations. Water that is inserted from a water inlet in the upper part of the cooling clothing by a PET bottle or the like flows toward the lower part of the cooling clothing between the surface of the water absorbing material and the waterproof cloth, meandering left and right continuously or in a stepwise shape, and making a puddles arise like terraces in prescribed locations here and there.

  • Patent number: 7681253
    Abstract: This present invention is for cooling the forehead, face and armpit of a person or imparting cool feeling. The cooling member comprises a water-absorbing material sheet sandwiched between a flexible planar material provided with a ventilation means, having an adequate hardness, and capable of holding its shape, capable of being bent in a predetermined direction and in the reverse direction a plurality of times, and having a curvature in the predetermined direction and backing cloth having a similar area and a means for dividing the water-absorbing material sheet into parts each having an adequate area corresponding to a vent in such a way that water absorbed in the water absorbing material sheet does not flow out easily into adjacent parts and is used for cooling by allowing the water absorbing material sheet to absorb water and by using its heat of evaporation to cool the surroundings.

  • Patent number: 5133031
    Abstract: An optical shunt device in which a pair of connecting ends (22, 23) for being connected to optical communication fiber sections (11) are divided into three systems. The first of the three systems is a passing-through light conduction path (19) through which light signals in two opposite directions are allowed to pass through between the connecting ends. The second of the three systems is a receiving light conduction path (20) having a first light-receiving end (20a) and a second light-receiving end (20b) each receiving a light signal from the connecting ends (22, 23). The third light path (21) has a first light-transmitting end (21a) and a second light-transmitting end (21b) each transmitting a light signal to the connecting ends.

  • Patent number: 4948040
    Abstract: A duct type air conditioning system with a variable capacity blower in which the maximum blower capacity is established at initialization of the system at the optimum blower capacity. The optimum capacity is established by varying the capacity of the blower and measuring the air flow volume and air flow noise. The optimum capacity is inputted into the control system through a central thermostat which has a liquid crystal display associated therewith. The system installer interfaces with the control system by a dialog which occurs through the liquid crystal display. The optimum capacity of the blower is stored in a memory device, and the control system variably controls the capacity of the blower so as not to exceed the optimum capacity.
