Abstract: A fluoropolymer of a monomer (I) represented by the general formula (I), wherein a content of a polymerization unit (I) derived from the monomer (I) is 50% by mass or more based on all polymerization units constituting the fluoropolymer: CX2?CX—O—Rf—SO3M??General formula (I) wherein X is independently F or CF3; Rf is a fluorine-containing alkylene group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms or a fluorine-containing alkylene group having 2 to 100 carbon atoms and having an ether bond or a keto group; and M is —H, a metal atom, —NR74, imidazolium optionally having a substituent, pyridinium optionally having a substituent, or phosphonium optionally having a substituent, wherein R7 is H or an organic group. Also disclosed are an aqueous solution and coating composition containing the fluoropolymer.

Abstract: A satisfaction level calculation device (10) acquires environmental data detected by each of a plurality of environment sensors (20). The satisfaction level calculation device (10) sets each of a plurality of indexes about a space environment as a target index. The satisfaction level calculation device (10) calculates, from the environmental data acquired by measuring the target index, an individual satisfaction level, which is a satisfaction level of the target index. The satisfaction level calculation device (10) calculates, from the individual satisfaction level about each of the plurality of indexes, an overall satisfaction level, which is an overall satisfaction level about the space environment.

Abstract: In order to create a desired air-conditioned space by reducing influences to adjacent spaces and sending proper air-conditioning air to the target space, the air-conditioning control system is provided with: a first temperature setting unit to set a preset temperature for an air-conditioning target space which is among spaces under or between two indoor units adjacent to each other, the air-conditioning target space having been requested a change in the preset temperature by a user, the indoor units each including multiple blowout openings; a second temperature setting unit to set a preset temperature of an adjacent air-conditioning space adjacent to the air-conditioning target space; a first air-conditioning air control unit to determine a first blowout opening from among the multiple blowout openings for realizing the preset temperature set by the first temperature setting unit, to control temperature, airflow volume, and a blowout wind direction of the air-conditioning air sent out from the first blowout o

Abstract: An air-conditioning control apparatus controlling a plurality of air conditioners calculates an adjustment time for adjusting a temperature of an area to be adjusted by the air conditioners to be controlled to between a desired temperature and an allowable temperature, generates a control schedule based on the adjustment time, and controls the air conditioners with the generated control schedule, instead of controlling with a preset stop time which is fixed, in order to bring the temperature around the air conditioners to the desired temperature. Thus, the air conditioners can be made to stop heat exchange before the desired temperature is reached, so that power consumption can be reduced.

Abstract: In a viewing system, each of a plurality of mobile terminals includes a display unit, a program reception unit receiving a program of one-segment broadcasting, a display control unit causing the display unit to display the program received in the program reception unit, a microphone detecting the voice of a speaker around its own terminal while the program is being displayed on the display screen, a voice recognition unit converting the voice of the speaker detected by the microphone into character data, and a character data transmission and reception unit transmitting the character data converted in the voice recognition unit to a server and receiving character data, that is transmitted from another mobile terminal to the server, from the server, and the display control unit causes the display screen to display the character data received from the server with the program while the program is displayed on the display screen.

Abstract: Disclosed is a wireless remote control system that provides a system for suppressing the communication fee. The server apparatus 100 calls the facility side control apparatus 200a via the public line 410. When the facility side control apparatus 200a detects the outgoing call received as an incoming call, it connects to the internet 420 and transmits a control command request 920 serving as a request to the server apparatus 100. The server apparatus 100 receives the control command request 920 serving as a request via the internet 420, and transmits the control command 930 serving as a reply to this request to the facility side control apparatus 200a via the internet 420. The facility side control apparatus 200a receives the control command 930 from the server apparatus 100, and instantly controls the facility apparatus 300a in accordance with the control command 930 received.

Abstract: A data rewriting apparatus which connects with a peripheral device and updates data stored in storage means provided in the peripheral device, includes identifying information storage means for storing identifying information which identifies the peripheral device and the data stored in the storage means in the peripheral device for each of a plurality of peripheral devices of different types, communication means for receiving together update data to update the data stored in the storage means, from a host computer connected with the data rewriting apparatus, update data storage means for storing the update data inputted together by the communication means, and data update means for reading, from the update data storage means, the update data corresponding to the peripheral device connected to the data rewriting apparatus, and updating the data stored in the storage means of the peripheral device.
