摘要:
A hybridoma producing a monoclonal antibody recognizing the C-terminus of human brain natriuretic peptide (hBNP) was cultivated in a medium or the abdominal cavity of a mouse to recover the monoclonal antibody from the medium or ascites accumulated in the abdominal cavity. An immunoassay for hBNP was established using the monoclonal antibody. The immunoassay for hBNP of the invention is so sensitive that the minimum detection limit is 1 pg/ml and can therefore determine the hBNP level in blood plasma directly, without the extraction of hBNP from blood plasma. It is useful for diagnosing diseases such as hypertension and the like, and states of the heart, kidney, and the like by using the increase/decrease of the hBNP level as an index.

The present invention is direted to a pretensioner system for positively eliminating loosening of a seat belt to effectively restrain a vehicle occupant during vehicle collision. The pretensioner system includes an acceleration sensing device (30) for sensing acceleration of a vehicle, a loosening eliminating device (14) for pulling the seat belt sidewardly to eliminate loosening of the seat belt in response to a signal from the acceleration sensing device (30), and a lock device (15) for locking the seat belt by sandwiching the same after loosening of the seat belt has been eliminted. The lock device (15) has cooperable members (24, 29C, 32) to sandwich the seat belt in accordance with movement of the loosening eliminating device (14).

An actuating mechanism for actuating a component of a seat belt apparatus includes a preloaded resiliently biased driving source adapted to a actuate the component upon release of the preload. A trigger normally engages the driving source such as to maintain the preload and is arranged to be displaced by a force imposed on it and thereupon release the driving source. An acceleration sensor releases the trigger from engagement with the driving source by applying the required force to it, the sensor having an inertia body arranged to move along a fixed distance by an inertial force and strike the trigger.

A device to be connected between the engine and power train of a construction vehicle or the like for damping the fluctuations of the engine output torque. The damper comprises a housing having a drive plate, and a driven plate coaxially mounted in the housing for angular displacement within limits. Mounted between the housing and the driven plate are two friction drive mechanisms for frictionally transmitting the rotation of the housing to the driven plate. A plurality of torsional or compression springs are mounted to the driven plate so as to laterally project out of windows in the housing, so that when a slip occurs in the friction drive mechanisms, the housing acts endwise on the springs to cause their compression. Variable spacings are provided between the ends of the springs and the opposed edges of the housing bounding the windows.

An inflatable air-belt device including a shoulder belt and lap belt. When the air-belt is inflated, a tension is generated in the shoulder belt and is transferred to the lap belt so that both the shoulder belt and the lap belt adhere closely to an occupant. When an emergency condition is detected, an inflator is actuated to inflate a bag located in the shoulder belt creating a tension of more than a predetermined strength in the shoulder belt. The lap belt is drawn toward the shoulder belt to release a stopper located in a buckle positioned between the belts. The lap belt moves toward the shoulder belt through a hole located in the tongue of the buckle. A nozzle for receiving pressurized gas is inserted in a slit in the belts so that the lap belt may move smoothly toward the shoulder belt without obstruction.
