A novel therapeutic agent for hyperlipidemia, which is an ester compound represented by the formula (1″) (wherein R1 and R2 are each hydrogen atom or optionally substituted aryl, etc.; X is —COO— or —CON(R10)—; R3 and R4 are each hydrogen atom, C1-C6alkyl or C1-C6alkoxy, etc.; R5, R6 and R7 are each hydrogen atom, C1-C6 alkyl or C1-C6 alkoxy, etc.; R8 and R9 are each independently hydrogen atom, C1-C6alkyl, —CON(R18)(R19) or —COO(R20), etc.; ring A, ring B and ring C are each independently aryl or heterocycle residue, etc.; Alk1 and Alk2 are each independently alkanediyl, etc.; l and m are each an integer of 0 or 1 to 3) or a prodrug thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of either. The therapeutic agent selectively inhibits MTP in the small intestine, thus causes no such side effect as a fatty liver.

An object of this invention is to improve the operability of color adjustment by using a simple hardware arrangement which performs only a matrix arithmetic operation having matrix coefficients properly determined in accordance with adjustment amounts designated from an operation unit for adjusting three variables as lightness, saturation, and hue. In the constitution of this invention, an image input unit inputs a color input signal, and a color conversion unit extracts the minimum value from the input color signal for each pixel, obtaining a difference signal of the input color signal and the extracted minimum value signal. The obtained difference signal is converted in matrix in accordance with matrix conversion coefficients generated by a matrix conversion coefficient unit in correspondence with the adjustment amounts of the adjustment items of an operation unit for adjusting three variables as lightness, hue, and saturation.

An exhaust purifier for an internal combustion engine is capable of properly heating a catalyst in consideration of a deterioration with time and manufacturing variation in an electric heater that heats the catalyst.The exhaust purifier has the catalyst 4 disposed in an exhaust pipe, the electric heater for forcibly heating the catalyst 4, a power source for supplying power to the heater, an estimate unit for estimating the temperature that the catalyst 4 will reach, a comparator for providing the difference between the estimated temperature and a target temperature, and an operation controller for controlling the operating conditions of the engine according to the temperature difference. The estimate unit measures the voltage and current of the heater, calculates the resistance or power of the heater according to the voltage and current, and estimates the temperature. The operation controller adjusts the quantity of intake air and ignition timing, or adjusts ignition timing and then the quantity of intake air to maintain an engine speed, or, if a battery 6 is abnormal, adjusts the quantity of intake air and ignition timing to increase the temperature of exhaust gas.

In an image processing system an input image signal is processed to output a processed image signal. A first parameter relating to a first kind of characteristic, and a second parameter relating to a second kind of characteristic, are each extracted from the input image signal. A controlling parameter which is a multi-value datum is inferred by using membership functions relating to the first and second parameters, and also inferred is a membership function relating to the controlling parameter and a plurality of rules representing relations between the first and second parameters and the controlling parameter for determining a processing condition for processing the input image signal.

Disclosed are a porous membrane which is made from a material containing, as its main component, a polytetrafluoroethylene resin, and a method of producing a porous membrane comprising forming a hollow or sheet-like film from a mixture of a polytetrafluoroethylene resin dispersion and a fiber-forming polymer, heat-treating the film at a temperature not lower than the melting temperature of the resin, and removing the fiber-forming polymer. Production of polytetrafluoroethylene porous membranes of a variety of pore sizes and porosities is possible by suitably varying the type and amount of additives added to an original liquid. The membrane finds spreading use in the field of separation in high-temperature and strong decomposing or strong dissolving mediums.

Core conveyor means of the endless type moving synchronously or non-synchronously with one or more continuous casting devices is disposed in side-by-side relation with the continuous casting device or devices, and the conveyor means is moved in the same direction as the molds moving in the continuous casting device or devices. The cores supplied from a core supply source which may be a core making machine, a group of core making machines consisting of two or more core making machines or a core cage stack hose with stacker crane are fed through the agency of the core conveyor means to the continuous casting device or devices. By this arrangement, it is possible to supply cores quickly or smoothly or supply large numbers of cores of different types with a high degree of efficiency to the casting device or devices.
摘要:
A pouring ladle and a platform car for use therewith are disclosed, the aforesaid ladle having a partition wall therein which has a passage adjacent to its bottom for allowing the communication of the melts separated by said wall, said wall being positioned in said ladle between the inclining center, i.e., a fulcrum of said ladle and the center of gravity of the melt contained therein, thereby suppressing a wave-forming phenomenon accruing from the inclinging movement of the ladle, with the resultant smooth pouring operation. This ladle is mounted on a frame body of a platform car in a manner to permit its inclination toward a casting mold, said platform car being capable of travelling in synchronism with the speed of a mold conveyor and adapted to move in the direction toward the casting mold, thereby presenting improved efficiency for casting operation, coupled with improved safety.

A bulky sheet (10) has a first side (11), a second side (12) opposite to the first side (11), a plurality of macroscopic first recessed ridges (21) and a projection (30) on at least the first side (11). The first recessed ridges (21) extend straight in a first direction at a predetermined interval. The projection (30) is located between the first recessed ridges (21) adjacent to each other. The projection (30) projects from the second side (12) toward the first side (11) of the bulky sheet (10).
摘要:
A control apparatus is applied to a vehicle. The vehicle has an internal combustion engine and a variable inertia flywheel provided on an output shaft of the internal combustion engine. The control apparatus decreases supply current to the electromagnetic coil while controlling the internal combustion engine so that a torque of the internal combustion engine is reduced while maintaining power output from the internal combustion engine, in a case determining that temperature of the electromagnetic coil is higher than a first determination temperature when: the internal combustion engine is being operated; and a main body and a ring member of the variable inertia flywheel are being connected by the current supplied to the electromagnetic coil.
