  • Publication number: 20230065732
    Abstract: The electrofusion joint includes a tubular main body, a stopper portion, a first heat generating section, and a second heat generating section. The tubular main body includes a joint receiving portion. The stopper portion projects inward on the inner surface of the main body. The first heat generating section includes a heating wire wound and arranged at the joint receiving portion. The second heat generating section includes a heating wire wound so that wound parts are adjacent to each other and the heating wire is disposed in the stopper portion. The first heat generating section includes at least one heat generating portion in which the heating wire is wound so that the wound parts are adjacent to each other.

  • Publication number: 20170032346
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to improve usability of an information processing device. Provided is an information processing device, includes a presence sensing unit, a manipulation sensing unit, a time measurement unit, and a notification unit. The presence sensing unit senses that a person is in the vicinity of the information processing device. The time measurement unit commences a time measurement at a prescribed timing after the presence sensing unit has sensed the presence of the person. The manipulation sensing unit senses that either a predetermined regular manipulation or irregular manipulation is executed as a first manipulation. The notification unit outputs notification information which issues a notification that a circumstance has arisen which requires confirmation, on the basis of whether there are notifications from the time measurement unit and the manipulation sensing unit.
