It is an object of the present invention to apply a novel method of preparing neural cells from ES cells. The method of the present invention is characterized by the electric pulse treatment of differentiating ES cells. Nerve cells obtained by the method of the present invention have the flexibility to differentiate into a variety of types of neurons in vivo preferably without the need for application of growth factors.

A nose pad for camera includes a base plate, at least one projecting portion mounted to the base plate, and a sheet portion mounted to an edge of the base plate at an edge of the sheet portion and extending obliquely upwardly over the base plate and the sheet portion. The projecting portion has an arc shape so that the nose pad can fit a contour of a nose. The sheet portion is designed to have a reasonable space in between the sheet portion and the projecting portion, so that the nose of the user can softly touch the camera when the nose pad is used.

An internal combustion engine variable compression ratio system is provided that includes a piston inner (5a), a piston outer (5b) that is fitted around the outer periphery of the piston inner (5a) so that it can slide only in the axial direction and is capable of moving between a low compression ratio position (L) and a high compression ratio position (H), a raising member (14) that can pivot around axes of the piston inner and outer (5a, 5b) between a non-raised position (A) and a raised position (B), and an actuator (20) connected to the member (14) and pivoting it to the non-raised position (A) or the raised position (B), in which piston outer high compression ratio position latching means (30b) is disposed between the piston inner (5a) and the piston outer (5b) and operates, when the piston outer (5b) has reached the high compression ratio position (H), so as to prevent relative axial movement of the piston inner (5a) and the piston outer (5b). It is thereby possible to provide a variable compression ratio system that enables the piston outer to be moved to the low compression ratio position and the high compression ratio position simply and reliably without rotating the piston outer.

A switch device is provided that includes a first switch portion in which an upper electrode and lower electrodes face each other at a predetermined gap and a second switch portion having metal domes which are disposed at a lower side facing the first switch portion and expand to a predetermined height. A first spacer having a predetermined thickness A is disposed in the first switch portion to form a gap between the upper electrode and the lower electrodes, a second spacer having a thickness B equal to or greater than the expanded height of the metal domes is disposed in the second switch portion, and the thickness of the second spacer is greater than that of the first spacer.

In order to perform control to optimize a display area during the execution of application software, the cellular phone 1 according to the present invention communicates with an application software distribution apparatus for distributing application software and is characterized by comprising a display unit 5 that includes a display screen 51 and serves to display information on the display screen 51; a wireless unit 7 for receiving, from the application software distribution apparatus, application software, and attribute data that indicates an assumed display area that is to be used as a display area during execution of the application software; and a control unit 2 for controlling the display area of the application software in the display screen 51 of the display 5 on the basis of the attribute data received by the wireless unit 7 and displayable area data that indicates the displayable area of the display screen 51.
摘要:
(i) In a ceramic catalyst body which comprises a ceramic carrier which has a multitude of pores capable of supporting a catalyst directly on the surface of a substrate ceramic and a catalyst supported on the ceramic carrier, a layer containing an anti-evaporation metal such as Rh is formed on the outer surface of catalyst metal particles such as Pt or Rh. The layer containing the anti-evaporation metal protects the catalyst metal and prevents evaporation thereof, thereby suppressing the deterioration; and/or(ii) A ceramic catalyst body is made by having a main catalyst component and a promoter component directly on a ceramic carrier which can directly support the catalyst by substituting a part of the constituent elements of cordierite, and a trap layer is provided in the upstream thereof for trapping sulfur which is a catalyst poisoning component included in the exhaust gas. Since sulfur included in the exhaust gas can be collected by the trap layer, the catalyst poisoning component can be removed from the gas which enters the catalyst, thus preventing catalyst poisoning.

There is provided a compact, lightweight, inexpensive head/disk test device. A spin stand is provided that supports a magnetic head to enable attaching and removal and comprises a fluid dynamic bearing motor that continues rotating even when the magnetic head is attached or removed. Alternatively, the spin stand comprises a fluid dynamic bearing motor and a detector for detecting changes in the back electromotive force or changes in the magnetic flux density generated by the rotation of the fluid dynamic bearing motor and for generating an index signal. Furthermore, the spin stand is provided with a fluid dynamic bearing motor and encloses a conductive fluid in a bearing of the fluid dynamic bearing motor and the bearing is grounded.
