A magnetic-plate laminated body includes: a laminated part made up of a plurality of laminated soft magnetic ribbons; first and second metal plates that sandwich the laminated part from upper and lower surfaces in a lamination direction of the laminated part; and a fastening mechanism that penetrates the first and second metal plates and the laminated part and fastening the laminated part by the first and second metal plates.

Magnetic-plate laminated body and motor

There is provided a chain guide that reduces a space occupied by the chain guide in an engine room while maintaining required strength, rigidity, and durability with a simple configuration, reduces the number of manufacturing steps and the waste of a material, does not require a structure that permits an error, prevents increases in vibration and noise during use, and reduces the burden of a maintenance operation. The chain guide has a guide shoe and a base member that reinforces the guide shoe, and an attachment portion includes an attachment member that is provided separately from the guide shoe and the base member and can be fixed to at least one of the guide shoe and the base member or both of the guide shoe and the base member.

Chain guide

A charging system includes central server capable of communicating with electric vehicles, and charging stations. Central server receives travel information on the electric vehicles and remaining charge information on rechargeable batteries from the electric vehicles, forecasts demanded power in a predetermined area, and issues a charge schedule change request to charge control devices included in the predetermined area. Charging stations change charge schedules for the rechargeable batteries mounted on the electric vehicles in accordance with the charge schedule change request.

Charging system, server device, and program for server device

Residential system includes photovoltaic power system including solar battery, and electrical storage device including battery. Electric load of residential system is selectively supplied with energy from power supply system, power generator and electrical storage device. Power generator allows energy to flow back to power supply system. Energy surplus judgment part calculates difference between generating energy of power generator and demand power for electric load (excess generating energy). Overall operation controller applies stored energy in electrical storage device to demand energy for electric load when excess generating energy is produced, and charges electrical storage device without applying generating energy of power generator to demand energy when excess generating energy is not produced.

Power controller

A power control system is provided with a plurality of electric appliances and a power control apparatus that controls the operation of the plurality of electric devices. The plurality of electric devices are grouped into one or a plurality of groups, each group containing a plurality of electric devices, and on the basis of state information of the electric devices, the power control apparatus controls the operation of each electric device by group according to a plurality of sets of control contents prepared ahead of time.

Power control system

In a hydraulic tensioner, at least a part of a bar is located within a coil spring that biases a plunger in the protruding direction. The bar reduces the volume of the high pressure oil chamber of the tensioner.

Hydraulic tensioner

A shoe for a tensioner device and chain guide is formed a polyamide 66 or 46 resin mold product having a relative viscosity more than 100 (90% formic acid method). A skin layer of the resin mold product includes a non-spherulite area less than 100 &mgr;m in thickness. The shoe excels in the wear resistance, slidability, impact resistance, heat resistance, and oil resistance, has a high degree of freedom in the shape, and excels in the workability.
