Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100161502APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING AN ENERGY SAVING BEHAVIOR - An appliance measurement interface inputs an appliance measured value from each appliance. The appliance measured value includes an electric energy consumption, a usage intensity and a usage frequency of the appliance. An appliance information count unit calculates an average of the appliance measured value in an evaluation span, and outputs an appliance information as the average of the appliance measured value. An evaluation unit acquires a first appliance information in a first evaluation span as an evaluation object period and a second appliance information in a second evaluation span as a comparison object period from the appliance information, and calculates an evaluation value by applying the first appliance information and the second appliance information to an evaluation function. A display unit displays an evaluation result of an energy saving behavior based on the evaluation value.06-24-2010

20090143875ACTION EVALUATION APPARATUS AND METHOD - An action evaluation apparatus includes action detection unit which detects an action of a user, environmental load detection unit which detects a load on an environment which is caused by the action, first storage unit which stores identification information of the action and the detected load in correspondence with each other, overload action detection unit which detects a first action which has caused a load exceeding a threshold, load adjusting unit which adjusts the load which is caused by the first action and a load which is caused by a second action stored in the first storage, and second storage unit which stores the adjusted load in correspondence with the identification information of the action.06-04-2009
20090191526BEHAVIOR IMPROVEMENT SUPPORT APPARATUS AND BEHAVIOR IMPROVEMENT SUPPORT METHOD - A behavior improvement support apparatus for presenting information to prompt reduction of environmental load imposed by a user's living space, stores in a memory, in regard to a plurality of parameters each having a plurality of values for specifying presentation methods of the information, one of the values of each parameter, presents the information during a given period of time, based on the one of the values of each parameter stores in the memory, measures the amount of emission of the environmental load imposed by the living space during the period of time, evaluates, based on the amount of emission of the environmental load during the period of time, an effect of the one of the values of each parameter used when the information is presented, and updates, based on an evaluation result, the one of the values of at least one of the parameters stored in the memory.07-30-2009
20090299504APPLIANCE CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD - An appliance control apparatus acquires, at intervals of predetermined time, a state data including values of operation states of respective appliances, stores the state data as one record in a memory, to store time-series records, classifies the records in the memory into a plurality of living situation groups by clustering the records, and calculates, for each living situation group, a barycenter of each operation state, determines, for a target state data, one of the living situation groups to which the target state data belongs, determines one of the operation states whose value in the target state data is larger than corresponding barycenter in the one of the living situation groups, and determines the barycenter as a recommended value, and controls the one of operation state to the recommended value when obtaining an acceptance instruction for the recommended value.12-03-2009

20090209700CERAMIC GREEN SHEET AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - The invention provides a ceramic green sheet having plasticity, punching property, and sinterability of satisfactory levels as well as a low percent (heat) shrinkage. In the production of a ceramic slurry serving as a raw material of the sheet, ingredients thereof are mixed under such conditions that the functional group ratio (polyol to isocyanate) is 1.5/11.5 to 11.5/11.5; the urethane resin formed from isocyanate and polyol has a repeating-unit-based molecular weight of 290 to 988; and the ratio by weight of the urethane resin to a ceramic powder falls within a range of 4.5 to 10 parts by weight of the urethane resin with respect to 100 parts by weight of the ceramic powder. As a result, a ceramic green sheet having, in well balance, all of the properties (i.e., plasticity, punching property, sinterability, and (heat) shrinkage) required for facilitating subsequent processes such as mechanical working and firing can be provided.08-20-2009
