摘要:
A method of utilizing the physiological activity of a rare saccharide, wherein physiological-activity sensitive cells are treated with the rare saccharide to modify the function of the cells. A composition containing, as an active ingredient, a rare saccharide which is introduced into physiological-activity sensitive cells and has an effect of modifying the function of the cells. The cells are human cells. The composition is a functional food, a drug, or a cosmetic. The rare saccharide is a rare saccharide belonging to aldose and/or ketose. The aldose is D-allose, and the cells are selected from the group consisting of cancer-cell proliferation inhibitory activity sensitive cells and active-oxygen production inhibitory activity sensitive cells. The ketose is D-psicose, and the cells are selected from the group consisting of chemokine secretion inhibitory activity sensitive cells, microglia migration inhibitory activity sensitive cells, and hypoglycemic activity sensitive cells.

An electromagnetic clutch that can be easily miniaturized in a direction of a rotational axis of the clutch comprises a driven gear adapted to be rotatably driven by a motor; a rotor rotatable with the rotational axis that is shared with the driven gear and having an electromagnetic coil provided at one end thereof along the rotational axis; an armature mounted between the driven gear and the rotor to be rotatable in unison with the driven gear, and attracted by the rotor when current is applied to the electromagnetic coil; a clutch case accommodating the driven gear, the rotor and the armature therein; a pair of slip rings mounted on one of the rotor at a region adjacent the clutch case that faces away from the armature, and the clutch case at a region adjacent the rotor; the pair of slip rings being coaxial with the rotational axis and having different radii; and a pair of brush elements mounted on the other of the rotor and the clutch case to come into contact with the pair of slip rings from a radial direction, respectively.

A cleaning disc cartridge capable of concurrently cleaning both a magnetic head of a magneto-optical disc apparatus and an optical lens thereof without causing any error in reading of a signal. A rotating disc is provided on one surface thereof opposite to a magnetic head of the apparatus with a head cleaning member and on the other surface thereof opposite to an objective lens of the apparatus with lens cleaning members. The rotating disc includes a disc body which is provided with an inventory region defined on an inner peripheral side of a lens cleaning member arrangement region, a reproduction-only region defined on an outer peripheral side of the lens cleaning member arrangement region, and an information recording and reproducing region outside the reproduction-only region.

A regulator for a power window having a safety function for preventing an object from being caught in a closing power window includes a driving unit for raising and lowering the window glass of a vehicle and a driven unit which receives power from the driving unit. When frictional resistance corresponding to relative displacement between the driving and driven units is less than a fixed value during descent of the window glass and exceeds this fixed during ascent of the window glass, the ascending window glass is reversed and made to descend. When the amount of an increase in current to the driving unit during ascent of the window glass increases in a case where the sliding resistance has exceeded a fixed value even once during descent of the window glass, the ascending window glass is reversed and made to descend.

A mold for stepwise molding by two or more injection shots of different materials or colors comprises fixed and movable mold halves and a slide core which combinedly form a first cavity and, with the slide core moved down, a second cavity for the shots to form a molded article of unitary structure, such as a housing section of an audio cassette tape with a see-through window. Ribs are formed on the slide core along its peripheries, and a land projection is formed on the inner side of the fixed mold half to be in contact with the molding surface of the slide core recessed with respect to the ribs. The inner peripheral wall faces of the ribs and the peripheral wall faces of the land projection of the fixed mold half are spaced apart to remain out of contact during mold clamping.

A case for holding a magnetic tape cassette has flat locking projections or tabs upright from the inner wall surface thereof to engage the hubs of the magnetic tape cassette and thereby lock the hubs unrotatably. The locking tabs are formed with a step each in the upper part. The step of each said tab is parallel or inclined to the place of the inner wall surface.

A door opening/closing device for use in a vehicle is provided with a driving member. The driving member has a permanent-magnet motor provided with two terminals and an output member, which is rotationally driven by the permanent-magnet motor. The driving member is mounted on either a vehicle body or a vehicle door and is coupled to the other via the output member. As the output member rotates, the vehicle door opens or closes. The door opening/closing device is also provided with a switching device configured to switch the permanent-magnet motor between an energizable state, in which the permanent-magnet motor can receive electricity through the two terminals, and a brake state, in which the terminals are short-circuited. The switching device switches the permanent-magnet motor into the brake state when the vehicle door is in any position other than the fully closed position.

A step unit that guides a sliding door of a vehicle includes a step member and a rail plate member. The step member includes first and second lower rails. The first lower rail has two ends that face toward each other to form a cutout portion in between. The rail plate member is arranged in the cutout portion. The step member includes an insertion hole and an extended portion. The insertion hole is located at a position corresponding to the cutout portion. The extended portion is extended from at least one of the two ends to support the rail plate member against a load received by the rail plate member from the roller. The rail plate member is inserted through the insertion hole from above the upper side of the step member and fixed by a fastening member to the step member.

A step unit comprises: a step member which is provided on the vehicle body side so as to be adjacent to a slide door of the vehicle and has a flat plate section on which an occupant's foot is placed; and a drive device which is affixed to the step member and drives the slide door to open and close the slide door. The step member is molded using a resin material and has a accommodation portion which is provided with a bottom formed below the upper surface of the flat plate section. The drive device is affixed while at least a part thereof is accommodated within the accommodation portion.
