A method for promoting energy saving in fluid machinery reduces electric power consumption of fluid machinery by introducing an energy-saving device such as an inverter into existing fluid machinery such as a pump. The method comprises submitting data specifying characteristics of the fluid machinery of a user to a service provider, and estimating an energy-saving effect due to introduction of an energy-saving device into the fluid machinery based on the data specifying characteristics of the fluid machinery and an energy-saving ratio predetermined according to a purpose of fluid machinery. The method further comprises selecting an effective energy-saving device to be introduced, and surveying an operating state of the fluid machinery. The method further comprises calculating an energy-saving effect based on data obtained from the survey, and offering the estimated energy-saving effect, the calculated energy-saving effect, and the selected energy-saving device.

An improved wheelchair which can pass through a narrow aisle, for example in an airplane. The wheelchair has an axle with a pair of main wheels, removably mounted to the wheelchair frame so as to be removable without lifting the frame, as well as auxiliary wheels narrow enough to pass through such an aisle. The main wheels are sufficiently spaced for stable travelling.

A cover member for a safety air-cushion device is made up of a bag-shaped outer laminate of high density polyurethane foam, and a bag-shaped inner laminate of low density polyurethane foam which is integral with the outer laminate, the inner laminate being made by pouring the fluidized foamable material into a mold after solidification of the other fluidized foamable material having been poured into the mold for the formation of the outer laminate.
