Abstract: A residual current detection circuit comprises a current transformer CT for detecting an imbalance current indicative of a residual current and a full wave restifier FWR for providing an output whose amplitude corresponds to the magnitude of the residual current. The FWR output is applied simultaneously to two channels. The first channel includes a first comparator COMP1 to provide a first signal which persists during periods when the amplitude of the output exceeds a first level. The second channel includes a capacitor C2 which acquires a charge corresponding to the output level and a second comparator COMP2 for providing a second signal in response to the capacitor voltage exceeding a second level. An output is provided from the circuit only when the first signal is coincident with the second signal.

The water cooling condenser is disposed between a compressor and the air cooling condenser, and includes a coolant pipe, a water passage for enabling water to flow therethrough to have heat exchange with coolant in the coolant pipe, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe connected with the water passage of the water cooling condenser for automatically feeding and discharging water in a direction reverse to a flowing direction of coolant and a control valve installed in the inlet side of the inlet pipe for automatically controlling water feed to the water passage according to ambient air temperature, coolant pressure and condensing load.

Abstract: The invention relates to a measurement instrument, especially for level and pressure measurement with a controller (9), which is connected to a memory unit (8), an input unit (11), and also an output unit (12). Here, the output unit (12) is embodied as an acoustic output unit. According to the invention, operator and/or operating parameters are stored in the memory unit (8) and can be output as audible speech signals from the output unit (12) by activating the input unit (11).

Abstract: The present invention relates to proteins, OsHDAC1, OsHDAC2 and OsHDAC3, which function as histone deacetylase, a gene coding for said proteins, and a method for producing a plant having a high growth rate by expressing said gene in the plant. According to the present invention, the OsHDACs proteins change the structure of chromatin to increase or decrease the expression of a foreign gene in the genomes, so that the expression amount of the OsHDACs proteins can be controlled to produce a plant having varied phenotypic characteristics. Particularly, the OsHDAC1 protein is expressed locally in the plant and increases the growth rate of plant by its overexpression and its expression is increased by ABA. Therefore, this protein can be very efficiently used for producing plants having a high growth rate even under stress conditions including drought, cold, etc., as well as under normal conditions.

Moreover, the image sensor dies may be packaged with passive components or other dies with a side by side structure or a stacking structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to an extract of the plant Ajuga turkestanica containing at least one ecdysteroid and at least one iridoid and obtainable by extraction of at least part of said plant by means of a solvent or solvent mixture consisting of 0 to 60% by weight of water, the remainder of said solvent or solvent mixture consisting of at least one C1 to C4 alcohol and/or acetone and/or butylene glycol and/or propylene glycol, and very particularly to an extract containing one part by weight of ecdysteroids to 2 to 4 parts by weight of iridoids. The invention further relates to cosmetic uses of these extracts or associations containing one part by weight of ecdysteroids to 2 to 4 parts by weight of iridoids as cosmetic agents for improving the differentiation of keratinocytes, for regulating the water fluxes and the water absorption in the epidermis or for hydrating the epidermis.

Abstract: An in-vehicle system for tracking events that occur at specific locations of a transportation route and alerting a driver of an impending significant event includes a location determination unit for determining an instantaneous location of the vehicle, and an event determination unit coupled to the location determination unit and responsive to the instantaneous location of the vehicle for communicating with an events database for obtaining an impending traffic sign that the vehicle is about to confront based on the vehicle's instantaneous location. A decision module coupled to the event determination unit is responsive to current parameters of the vehicle for determining whether the current parameters of the vehicle are conducive to safe driving based on the impending event, and a warning unit coupled to the decision module is responsive to at least one current parameter of the vehicle not being conducive to safe driving for alerting the driver of the impending event.

Abstract: In order for a conduction path to have a reduced number of sliding portions for conduction, without increase in inductance nor resistance, thereby permitting an enhanced accuracy of inspection, a pair of plungers (3, 4) biased in opposite directions by a coil spring (2), to be electrically connected to a wiring plate (10), have electrical connections in which, in a tubular portion (15) as a tight wound spiral portion (15a) fixed on one plunger (4) to allow linear flow of electrical signal, the other plunger (3) is brought into slidable contact.
