Abstract: An overvoltage protector includes a first discharging electrode, a second discharging electrode, and an overvoltage protection part provided between the first and second discharging electrodes. The overvoltage protecting part has an insulating property under a normal operation condition, and has a conductive property if an overvoltage is applied between the first and second discharging electrodes. The overvoltage protecting part is made of a mixture of resin having an insulation property, an inorganic compound having an insulating property, and metallic boride compound powder. The metallic boride compound powder has a high melting point therefore it is hardly melted. Under high temperatures causing the powder to melt, the powder is oxidized and loses conductivity, thus providing a high reliability.

Abstract: Dehydroxylation of aminoglycoside antibiotics is carried out by halogenation of phosphorylated aminoglycoside antibiotics followed by reduction of thus halogenated antibiotics. The dehydroxylation process is entirely new and gives the final product in a high yield. The resulting deoxyaminoglycoside antibiotics are effective against microorganisms including aminoglycoside antiobiotics-resistant microorganisms.
