Patent number: 11002561Abstract: Gas meter and center device are included. Gas meter is installed in a residence or the like of each customer, and includes flow rate measurer. Center device collects information obtained by gas meter. In addition, center device manages positional information indicating a position of gas meter, and displays information including a result of analyzing information obtained from gas meter, together with the position of gas meter on a map. By employing this configuration, the information obtained from gas meter is collected by center device, and information based on collected data is displayed on a map on which gas meter is positioned. This enables the information obtained from gas meter to be visually reported.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Akiyoshi Kawauchi, Yoshikuni Tamura, Nobuaki Murabayashi, Tadanori Shirasawa

Patent number: 10935393Abstract: A gas meter and a center device, including an analyzer, analyze a cause of an abnormality determination. The center device requests analysis-use data necessary to analyze the cause of the abnormality determination from the gas meter, through a communication by a center communication unit, based on the abnormality type data received from the gas meter. The gas meter transmits the analysis-use data requested by the center device to the center device by a meter communication unit, and the analyzer of the center device determines the cause of the abnormality determination based on the received analysis-use data.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2018Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuki Shiota, Tadanori Shirasawa, Nobuaki Murabayashi, Yoshikuni Tamura

Patent number: 6480240Abstract: A television system includes a television receiver (11) and a remote control (18, 72). If an RGB bias level adjusting mode is set by the remote control, the CPU (74) disables the ramp waveform generator (36) but enables a brightness component cutoff circuit (58a) and color component cutoff circuit (58b) that are included in an YC mixing circuit (58). In response, vertical deflection is suspended, and a video signal having a pedestal level is outputted onto a display (70). Accordingly, luminescence occurs on the display at a vertically center thereof. Meanwhile, the bias level is adjusted optimal by user's operation of a numeral key provided on the remote control while observing on the display.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1999Date of Patent: November 12, 2002Assignee: Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshikuni Tamura, Munetoshi Kajiya
