Abstract:
The present invention relates to an obturator for a refrigerator for cutting off heat or cool air transferred to and from a refrigerator. The present invention is comprised of a door gasket having an air bag that is transformed and rotated freely, and a projecting portion that is projected from at least one of the inner case and the refrigerator door liner, so that inflow of heat from outside or from a hot-line, into an inside of the refrigerator and leakage of the inside cool air of the refrigerator to the outside, are cut off or minimized and insulation performance is improved remarkably.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a machine room back cover integrated with a condenser for a refrigerator, which is capable of protecting a machine room in which a compressor as one of elements constituting a refrigeration cycle is provided and serving as a heat emission plate by which coolant heat emitted from a condenser is dissipated outside the refrigerator by contacting with air introduced from the external of the machine room.The present invention provides a back cover integrated with a condenser for a refrigerator, which is provided outside a machine room of the refrigerator, for protecting the machine room containing a compressor for pressurizing coolant evaporated into a low-temperature low-pressure gaseous state by an evaporator into a high-temperature high-pressure gaseous state and a condenser connected to the compressor for condensing the coolant pressurized by the compressor into a high-temperature high-pressure liquid state, wherein said condenser is formed in integral with an inner side of said back cover.In addition, a heat area in which said condenser is contacted with air introduced from the external of said machine room is enlarged by increasing an area of said back cover integrated with said condenser so as to increase an amount of heat exchange of said condenser with the introduced air.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to gene and peptide sequences of a diabetes-specific endogenous retrovirus which is derived from type 1 diabetes patients. In particular, the present invention relates to a whole genome of the diabetes-specific variant of endogenous retrovirus (ERV-9) purified from pancreatic tissues of type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [IDDM]) patients and its genes and peptide and their sequences, which can be used as a diagnosing reagent for type 1 diabetes and as an immunogen. The diabetes-specific retrovirus expressed exclusively in pancreatic beta cells was purified from deceased type 1 diabetes patients. Subsequently, the retroviral gene sequences were determined, and by analyzing the amino acid sequence of the peptide deduced from the gene, 21 domains of the peptide having hydrophilicity and immuno-dominancy were identified. Therefore, the variant gene of the endogenous retrovirus and the peptide deduced from the gene can be effectively used as a diagnosing reagent of autoimmune-antibody for type 1 diabetes and as a vaccine for the variant ERV-9 related diseases.
