Abstract: An air conditioner applied to a hybrid vehicle includes a first heat medium circuit, a first heating heat exchanger, a first pump, a first hydraulic pump capacity controller, a second heat medium circuit, a second heating heat exchanger, a second pump, and a second hydraulic pump capacity controller. The first heat medium circuit and the second heat medium circuit are configured to be independent from each other to set a first air conditioning mode, a second air conditioning mode and a third air conditioning mode. When a temperature difference calculated by subtracting a first temperature of the first heat medium from a second temperature of the second heat medium is lower than or equal to a predetermined reference temperature difference during the third air conditioning mode, the first air conditioning mode is set by switching from the third air conditioning mode.

Abstract: A heater device includes a light transmissive film heater configured to apply to an optical window that is arranged adjacent to a sensor unit for detecting light and includes a detection surface having a light transmitting property, and including a heating portion heating the optical window, and a heat generating portion configured to generate heat in a predetermined region. The light transmissive film heater includes a first electrode arranged radially outside about a center line of the detection surface in the heating portion, a second electrode arranged in the heating portion so as to interpose the detection surface from both sides together with the first electrode, and a first heat generation region that generates heat according to a potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode generated by energization from the first electrode to the second electrode via the heating portion.

Abstract: A snow removing device includes a heater that is disposed in a moving body that has a light including a cover and a cleaner that ejects a washer solution toward an outer surface of the cover. The cover is exposed to an outside of the moving body, covers a light source, and allows light emitted from the light source to pass therethrough. The snow removing device further includes a control unit that controls the heater to heat the cover first, and then controls the cleaner to eject a washer solution toward the outer surface of the cover.

Abstract: An electromagnetic wave utilization system includes an electromagnetic wave device configured to send or/and receive an electromagnetic wave, and a passage part through which passes the electromagnetic wave utilized by the electromagnetic wave device. The passage part includes an inner member provided to face the electromagnetic wave device, an outer member provided on the opposite side to the electromagnetic wave device, and a heat insulating portion disposed between the inner member and the outer member so as to suppress fogging on a portion of the inner member through which the electromagnetic wave passes.

Abstract: An electromagnetic wave utilization system for a vehicle includes an electromagnetic wave device that sends or/and receives an electromagnetic wave, and a passage part through which passes the electromagnetic wave utilized by the electromagnetic wave device. The passage part has a hydrophilic portion having hydrophilicity. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress fogging of the passage part through which the electromagnetic wave passes with a simple configuration.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition including biocompatible particles containing a sugar derivative, wherein the biocompatible particles contain a lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer. The pharmaceutical composition may be used in combination with an anticancer drug.

Abstract: An electromagnetic wave utilizing system includes an electromagnetic wave apparatus configured to perform transmitting and/or receiving of an electromagnetic wave, and a heater that heats a passage member. The heater includes a heating element and a holder. The heating element and the holder are transparent to allow the electromagnetic wave to transmit therethrough. The electromagnetic wave apparatus transmits and/or receives the electromagnetic wave while rotating on a horizontal plane. The heater is configured to rotate together with the electromagnetic wave apparatus or to surround the electromagnetic wave apparatus 360 degrees in a horizontal direction.

Abstract: In a skin electrode for connecting monitoring equipment to the surface of the skin which is separable into two assemblies: a base assembly adapted to be mounted to the surface of the skin and having a sensing element, and; a terminal assembly adapted to be releasably coupled with the base assembly and having a lead for connection to the monitoring equipment, an improvement wherein the terminal assembly is provided with a magnet while the base assembly is provided with a ferromagnetic element, whereby the releasable coupling and electrical connection of the assemblies may be ensured by the action of the magnet.
