Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel amide derivative. More specifically, the present invention provides a medicinal agent useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for diseases, which relies on the production of cytokines from T cells, and which comprises an amide derivative or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof or a solvate of the derivative or the pharmacologically acceptable salt as an active ingredient. Provided is an amide derivative represented by general formula (I) [wherein each symbol is as defined in the description] or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, or a solvate of the derivative or the pharmacologically acceptable salt.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a real time nucleic acid amplification reaction method comprising performing a nucleic acid amplification reaction in a droplet present in a container. The droplet is composed of a nucleic acid amplification reaction liquid including a nucleic acid to be amplified and magnetic particles. The container holds a droplet encapsulating medium immiscible with the nucleic acid amplification reaction liquid forming the droplet, and has a transport surface having a temperature gradient. Fluorochrome is initially contained in the droplet encapsulating medium, and optionally in the droplet, at start of the nucleic acid amplification reaction. The droplet is transported together with the magnetic particles by generating and applying a magnetic field so that the droplet is placed on the transport surface at a temperature point at which the nucleic acid synthesis reaction is started and maintained, thereby controlling a temperature of the reaction liquid.

Abstract:
A vehicle has an electric storage unit having a plurality of electric storage elements and outputting energy for use in running of the vehicle, a blower placed closer to the exterior of a vehicle body relative to the electric storage unit and supplying the electric storage unit with air for adjusting the temperature of the electric storage element, and a pedestal supporting the blower. The pedestal has a bend portion allowing movement of the blower to a position off the electric storage unit through deformation in response to an external force.
Abstract:
A sheet transportation device includes a transportation path for transportation of a sheet, a transportation unit for applying force to a sheet on the transportation path, and an electromagnetic component for driving the transportation unit by receiving supply of electric power. At the sheet transportation device, the absence/presence of a sheet is detected at a downstream side of the region where the transportation unit applies force to a sheet in the transportation path, and counter electromotive force induced in response to electric power being supplied to the electromagnetic component is supplied as the electric power for the detector.

A fishing line guide includes a frame made of a fiber reinforced resin. The fiber reinforced resin includes a reinforced fiber extending in an extending direction of part forming the frame.
Abstract:
An RD converter is disclosed that has a first multiplier multiplying a resolver signal S1 by an output of a SIN ROM; a second multiplier multiplying a resolver signal S2 by an output of a COS ROM; a subtractor subtracting an output of the first multiplier from an output of the second multiplier; a synchronous detecting circuit detecting synchronously an output of the subtractor with reference to an excitation signal; a controller controlling an output angle θ′ to make an output of the synchronous detecting circuit equal to zero; a correction data part outputting a correction angle θc for the output angle θ′; an adder adding the output angle θ′ and the correction angle θc; the SIN ROM producing a sine value of a result from the adder; and the COS ROM producing a cosine value of the result.
Abstract:
The phase and time information of a voltage at a power supply outlet is detected at points, and sent to a data server. With one end of a system used as a phase angle reference, the data server observes phase differences at another end, and at a center. The data server then extracts an inter-system fluctuation component from an obtained fluctuation, and constructs an expanded combined vibration model for data sets obtained through first- and second-order differentiations of the component. The expanded combined vibration model is obtained by expanding a combined vibration model to include a known model of a PSS provided for a generator of interest. Time-series data regarding state variables of the PSS at the time of construction of the expanded combined vibration model are obtained, and PSS parameters are determined directly therefrom by the expanded combined vibration model, thereby achieving stabilization of dominant modes.
Abstract:
A fishline guide according to the present invention has a frame which includes a fixing portion which is mounted on a fishing rod, a ring holding portion, to which a guide ring through which a fishline passes is attached, and a support leg portion which connects the ring holding portion and the fixing portion. The frame is composed of a plurality of fiber-reinforced resin layers in which fiber-reinforced prepregs in which reinforcing fibers are impregnated with synthetic resin are laminated.
