20110295544 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR LIVING SPACE ADDED VALUE EFFICACY INDEX EVALUATION - A measured value for a PMV within a living space is sent to a comfort efficacy evaluating device. Occupancy information (the current number of occupants N) in the living space is sent to the comfort efficacy evaluating device.

In this case, if the number of occupants is relatively high, the weighting is high, and if the number of occupants is relatively low, then the weighting is low. Additionally, the weighted comfort index P is integrated over an evaluation interval, and thus integrated value, or a weighted average based on this integrated value, is used as a comfort efficacy index TP.

20110196570 | STARTER CONTROLLER - An idle reduction vehicle has a relay in a power supply line from a battery to a starter motor.

The failure detector determines whether the auto-start circuit energizes the starter when the energization circuit is switched to the auto-start circuit. | 08-29-2013 |
