Publication number: 20070259854Abstract: [Problem] There is provided a compound which can be used for therapy of diseases in which 11?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11?-HSD1) participates, in particular diabetes, insulin resistance. [Means for Solution] It has been found that a triazole derivative wherein the triazole ring is substituted with a trisubstituted methyl group in the 2-position or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has a strong 11?-HSD1 inhibitory activity. Moreover, the triazole derivative of the invention exhibits an excellent blood-glucose level-lowering action and hence can be used for therapy of diabetes, insulin resistance.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2005Publication date: November 8, 2007Applicant: ASTELLAS PHARMA INC.Inventors: Takeshi Murakami, Tomoaki Kawano, Ryota Shiraki, Hirofumi Ishii, Seiji Yoshimura, Takehiko Ohkawa, Mitsuru Hosaka, Hiroki Fukudome, Yutaka Inoki

Publication number: 20060182597Abstract: A boom assembly is bent at a longitudinal center portion thereof to present an upwardly convex shape. The assembly includes a front boom body and a rear boom body. The front boom body and the rear main body each includes a main body consisting essentially of a pair of right and left lateral plates and a top plate interconnecting upper edges of the respective lateral plates. The main body is formed with an upper face and a lower edge thereof being bent in a longitudinal direction thereof into an arc face having a predetermined radius of curvature. The front or rear main body further includes a bottom plate disposed downwardly of the top plate and between the right and left lateral plates. Each main body is formed by bending a plate member into a reverse U-shaped cross section and each bottom plate is comprised of a plate member provided separately from the plate member forming the main body.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2005Publication date: August 17, 2006Applicant: Kubota CorporationInventors: Yoshitaka Higashikawa, Naoki Onishi, Ryoichi Nishi, Hiroki Fukudome

Patent number: 6879261Abstract: An operator presence sensing apparatus for a seat of a vehicle includes a base member (7, 8) for supporting the seat (6), and a relay member (9) extending vertically between the base member and the seat. The seat is oscillatable about a pivot axis (X) extending in a transverse direction in the base member. The relay member is pivotably supported at one end thereof by the pivot axis and at the other end by the base member through a cushion spring (10). A seat lift-up spring (12) is disposed between an underside of the seat and the base member for receiving part of the weight of the seat. The seat unoccupied by the operator is oscillated to a floating position lifted from the relay member by the lift-up spring.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2003Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: Kubota CorporationInventors: Akifumi Nishino, Ryuji Kitagawa, Kenzo Ushiro, Hiroki Fukudome
