Abstract: A light distribution control device controls formation of a light distribution pattern by a light distribution variable lamp. The light distribution control device controls the light distribution variable lamp so as to reduce an illuminance of light that illuminates a non-traveling road when a vehicle reaches a first location a predetermined distance before a forked road, while a normal light distribution pattern is formed that includes, in an illumination range thereof, a side illuminating a traveling road of the vehicle at the forked road and a side illuminating the non-traveling road, and to form a guiding light distribution pattern in which an illuminance of light that illuminates the traveling road is higher than the illuminance of the light that illuminates the non-traveling road.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp according to an aspect of the present invention includes a light source, a metal light-source stage including a light-source mounting portion, and a lens member that emits light from the light source toward the front of the lamp. The light-source stage includes a support portion for the lens member. The lens member includes a leg projecting toward the light-source stage and having an end that is supported by the support portion. The support portion includes three projections that abut the leg in a state in which the leg is supported by the support portion and position the lens member in a direction of an optical axis. The three projections are positioned relative to one another such that at least a portion of the light source lies in an extension range of a triangle with vertices given by the three projections.

Abstract: The present invention provides a breast cancer marker selected from the group consisting of fucosylated hornerin, fucosylated Zn-?-2-glycoprotein, fucosylated Ig ?-1 chain C region, and fucosylated desmoplakin; a method for determining breast cancer comprising detecting the breast cancer marker in a sample, and determining on the basis of the results of the results; and a kit to be used for the determination.

Abstract: The present invention relates to: a breast cancer marker which is selected from the group consisting of carboxypeptidase N subunit 2, extracellular matrix protein 1, serum amyloid P component, nebulin, complement component C8 ? chain, apolipoprotein L1, flavin reductase, catalase, carbonic anhydrase 2, apolipoprotein C—I, nuclear pore glycoprotein 210, superoxide dismutase [Cu—Zn], bisphosphoglycerate mutase, carbonic anhydrase 1 and peroxiredoxin-2; a method for determining breast cancer, which comprises detecting the breast cancer marker in a sample and determining breast cancer on the basis of the results of the detection; and a kit for use in the method.

Abstract: A load control system includes: a power supply control unit for controlling a power feeding to multiple load devices; and a backup power supply unit for supplying backup power during a power failure. During a power failure, the power supply control unit supplies the power from the backup power supply unit only to a part of load devices selected among the load devices, and the load devices are devoid of communications function for communicating with the power supply control unit.

Abstract: There are provided an antenna switch circuit including: a first filter 110 passing a first broadcasting signal having a predetermined band among broadcasting signals passing through a first input terminal IN1; a second filter 120 passing a second broadcasting signal having a predetermined band among broadcasting signals passing through a second input terminal IN2; a first amplifier 310 amplifying or bypassing the first broadcasting signal of the first filter 110; a second amplifier 320 amplifying or bypassing the second broadcasting signal of the second filter 120; and a signal level attenuator 500 attenuating levels of the first broadcasting signal of the first amplifier 310 and the second broadcasting signal of the second amplifier 320 to have predetermined levels.

Abstract: A discharge lamp device for a vehicle includes a lighting circuit for performing lighting controls of a discharge lamp for high beam and a discharge lamp for low beam, both lamps having the same rating. The lighting circuit controls the power supply such that the electrical power input when the discharge lamp for high beam is lighted is greater than the electrical power input when the discharge lamp for low beam is lighted.

Abstract: A lighting system provides an auxiliary lighting circuit for turning on an auxiliary light source in place of the discharge lamp if the abnormality in the lighting circuit is detected.

Abstract: A steady-state condition in which respective discharge lamps for main beam and for dipped beam are both turned on, a sum (P1+P2) of a value of power supplied to each discharge lamp is controlled to be smaller than a sum (P1R+P2R) of a rated power value for each discharge lamp.

Abstract: A reagent comprising a fraction obtained from plasma of an insect such as silkworm larvae and capable of reacting specifically with .beta.-1,3-glucan or peptidoglycan can be used for determining .beta.-1,3-glucan or peptidoglycan.

Abstract: A numerical control method and a system therefor can perform numerical control repeatedly in accordance with a numerical control program modified by utilization of an override function. It is judged whether or not a teaching command is inputted during execution of the numerical control program (S1). When it is judged that a feed speed or spindle speed override storage command is inputted in the teaching mode (S2, S6), an override value manually set by an override switch is written into the end of a block in execution in the numerical control program (step S10). At execution of the numerical control program on and after the next time, override operation as set manually is carried out automatically.

Abstract: The present invention has for its object to make it possible to stop the relative movement of a cutter and a gear blank or change its speed during cutting in a numerical-controlled machine tool for cutting a gear, such as a gear hobbing machine, a gear grinding machine or the like. To perform this, two kinds of pulse distributors, i.e. a synchronization control pulse distributor (152) and a tooth profile forming pulse distributor (153) are provided; the synchronization between the rotation of a cutter (110) and the rotation of a gear blank is provided by the synchronization control pulse distributor (152); and an additional rotation of the rotary shaft of the gear blank necessary for forming the tooth profile of a gear is effected by the tooth profile forming pulse distributor (153).
