    摘要: The present invention provides an inflammatory pulmonary disease agent capable of effectively preventing and/or treating an inflammatory pulmonary disease, and specifically relates to a prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for an inflammatory pulmonary disease containing, as an active ingredient, an antibody or an antibody fragment having antigen-binding activity for an S100A8/A9 heterodimer. The inflammatory pulmonary disease can be effectively prevented and/or treated by blocking interaction between S100A8/A9 and a group of receptors therefor. Specifically, the inflammatory pulmonary disease can be effectively prevented and/or treated by: blocking interaction between S100A8/A9 and RAGE, which is a receptor therefor, to suppress: the expression of NF-κB, which is a transcription factor present downstream of RAGE and induces the expression of various inflammatory cytokines; the proliferation of activated fibroblasts; and the differentiation of activated fibroblasts into myofibroblasts. In addition, the prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for an inflammatory pulmonary disease of the present invention may also be suitably used as a prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for COVID-19.

    摘要: A control method, a controller, and a control system including a converter and the controller are provided to improve load responsiveness of control by the converter. The converter has a primary circuit that includes a voltage generation circuit for generating a square wave and a resonant circuit for converting a waveform of the generated square wave, and a secondary circuit that is electromagnetically coupled to the primary circuit and that generates an induced electromotive force. The controller controls the voltage generation circuit by a control target power factor. To implement power factor-based control, the controller controls the voltage generation circuit, based on a derived power factor derived from an active power and an apparent power relevant to the resonant circuit in the primary circuit or a derived power factor derived from a phase of the primary circuit.

    摘要: A positive electrode imparts secondary battery with low temperature output characteristics, high temperature cycle characteristics and durability against high voltage. A positive electrode of secondary battery includes positive electrode current collector and positive electrode active substance layer on positive electrode current collector. The positive electrode active substance layer contains positive electrode active substance particles and oxide particles which are dispersed in positive electrode active substance layer as separate particles from positive electrode active substance particles. The positive electrode active substance particles each include coating of titanium-containing compound at the surface. The titanium-containing compound in coating is at least one compound selected from group consisting of TiO2, TinO2n−1, wherein n is integer of 3 or more, and oxides containing Li and Ti. The oxide particles include at least one oxide selected from group consisting of TiO2, TimO2m−1, wherein m is integer of 3 or more, and oxides containing Li and Ti.
