Abstract: A therapeutic agent for hyperlipidemia, diabetes, or hypertriglyceridemia containing an HMG-COA reductase inhibitor and a carboxylic acid compound represented by the following formula (1) or a salt thereof as effective ingredients. The therapeutic agent of the present invention has excellent effects of lowering blood cholesterol and blood triglycerides and is particularly useful for treatment of type IIb and type IV hyperlipidemia and treatment of diabetes and also useful for treatment of hypertriglyceridemia.

Abstract: A reproduction time measuring circuit for measuring a reproduction time of digital data sampled at a predetermined frequency, the circuit comprises: a count circuit configured to count a clock of the predetermined frequency while the digital data is stored in an output buffer configured to output the digital data in accordance with the clock; and a reproduction time signal output circuit configured to output a reproduction time signal indicating that the digital data has been reproduced for a time corresponding to the predetermined value, when a count value of the clock output from the count circuit reaches a predetermined value.

Abstract: A vehicle door opening and closing device includes a guide rail fixed to a vehicle body, a supporting member connected to the vehicle door, a first driven pulley, a second driven pulley, an idle pulley, a cable take-up pulley that is arranged between the idle pulley and the second driven pulley, a cable wound around the cable take-up pulley and made contact with the idle pulley, the first driven pulley, and the second driven pulley, and a pulley cover for guiding a first portion of the cable connected to the supporting member to be made contact with the idle pulley in such a manner that a vertical position of the first portion of the cable is different from that of a second portion of the cable in contact with the idle pulley.

Abstract: A vehicle door opening/closing apparatus includes a mobile apparatus carried by a user, a recognizing apparatus for recognizing the mobile apparatus within a predetermined area relative to a vehicle, a commanding apparatus provided at the mobile apparatus for commanding an opening/closing operation of a door on the basis of an intention of the user and a controlling apparatus for controlling the door on the basis of a recognition of the recognizing apparatus and the opening/closing operation command of the commanding apparatus. The controlling apparatus opens the door when the recognizing apparatus recognizes the mobile apparatus within the predetermined area and in a situation where the commanding apparatus has commanded to open the door. The controlling apparatus closes the door when the recognizing apparatus recognizes that the mobile apparatus is out of the predetermined area and in a situation where the commanding apparatus has commanded to close the door.

Abstract: The present invention provides DNA having the promoter activity of an OsSUT1 gene, as well as a transgenic plant and others capable of expressing a desired foreign gene specifically in the vascular bundle or the phloem thereof, using the above DNA as a promoter. According to the present invention, DNA having the promoter activity of the OsSUT1 gene was isolated from the genomic library of rice (Oryza sativa L.) The DNA has a promoter sequence, which has a phloem specificity and a growing time specificity and exists in a nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. A transgenic plant expressing a foreign gene specifically in the phloem or in the vascular bundle system tissues was produced by ligating the desired foreign gene downstream of the promoter DNA and incorporating it into the genome of a plant.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hyperlipemia therapeutic agent comprising pitavastatins and eicosapentaenoic acid or an ester derivative thereof as effective ingredients. According to the present invention, a type IIb and type IV hyperlipemia therapeutic agent having an excellent effect of lowering the cholesterol and triglyceride in blood is provided.

Abstract: In a data output system, a server to which this invention is adapted is connected to a database which holds data of plural types of data formats, searches the database based on the content of a search request made by a search requester, and outputs the search result after performing conversion and edition on the search result in accordance with the ability, function and/or capacity of a communication terminal to which the search result is to be output.

Abstract: Magnetic field generators used in magnetic resonance imaging instruments (MRI) need an extremely uniform and wide magnetic field space. With the annulus of a field-generating annular magnet composed of a plurality of permanent magnet blocks arranged annularly, non-magnetic hold plates may be arranged in correspondence with each of the permanent magnet blocks, and field-regulating permanent magnet pieces may be fixed at stated positions of the hold plated, thereby obtaining a uniform magnetic field space.
