The regenerator unit includes a zinc based regenerator member formed of zinc or an alloy containing zinc as a main component of the alloy. A first stage regenerator optionally includes a high temperature part including a first regenerator member and a low temperature part including a second regenerator member different from the first regenerator member. A second stage regenerator optionally includes a high temperature part including a second regenerator member and a low temperature part including a third regenerator member different from the second regenerator member. The second regenerator member optionally includes a zinc based regenerator member formed of zinc or an alloy containing zinc as a main component of the alloy.

Abstract: The engine controlling apparatus includes a selector, a setter, and a controller. The selector selects one of a plurality of injection modes according to the operating condition of an engine, where injection rates of a plurality of injectors or the number of injections performed in one stroke of the engine differs among the injection modes. The setter sets a mode correction amount that reflects an output characteristic of a first sensor corresponding to the injection mode. The controller performs feedback control using both a detection signal from the first sensor and the mode correction amount.

Abstract: Provided is an articular cartilage imaging composition which can clearly distinguishably visualize a normal site and an abnormal site, i.e., a degenerative site, in articular cartilage. The articular cartilage imaging composition contains a positively charged molecule, which is labeled with a labeling molecule.

Abstract: In a pulse tube refrigerator, a gas flow passage is connected to a high-temperature end of a low-temperature side pulse tube and a compressor, such that a working gas flows in the gas flow passage. The gas flow passage includes: a first flow passage connected to the high-temperature end of the low-temperature side pulse tube; a second flow passage connected to the compressor and having an outlet facing an outlet of the first flow passage; and a housing that gastightly accommodates the outlet of the first flow passage and the outlet of the second flow passage. The housing has a gastight space communicating with the outlet of the first flow passage and the outlet of the second flow passage, the gastight space located on a side of the low-temperature side pulse tube with respect to the outlet of the first flow passage.

Abstract: The engine controlling apparatus includes a selector and a changer. The selector selects one of a plurality of injection modes according to the operating condition of an engine, where injection rates of a plurality of injectors differ among the injection modes. The changer changes a map specifying a reference value of a detection signal detected by a first sensor according to the injection mode.
