Abstract: A vehicle structure includes side sills, pillars, a first battery arrangement portion provided inside the vicinity of the pillars in a vehicle width direction below a floor panel, and a second battery arrangement portion provided at a center portion in the vehicle width direction below the floor panel in a region inside an outer portion of the first battery arrangement portion in the vehicle width direction.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a body fluid extract comprising micro RNA.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preventing transmission of influenza, wherein said method comprises administering an effective amount of a compound to a patient having an influenza virus infection, herein referred to as “index patient”, wherein the compound has one of the formulae (I) and (II), or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt. The compound to be used in the present invention reduces infectivity of the influenza virus of the index patient, and therefore, reduces the risk of the index patient to trigger an influenza epidemic or an influenza pandemic as compared to a control patient.

Abstract: A configuration information management server apparatus is provided with a unit collecting configuration information from the device connected to a network, a unit storing the configuration information collected from the device connected to the network, and a unit comparing already stored information with the collected information and reporting in case there is an abnormality.

Abstract: Migration of radioactive materials from a pressure vessel to a steam system in a nuclear power plant is suppressed by using a dryer (3) provided with corrugated plates (22) having surfaces coated with an inorganic ion-exchange material stable under a condition in which high-temperature water exist, such as TiO2.

Abstract: Improved method and device for feeding a specific length of wrapping paper to a packaging section in a coin packaging machine are disclosed, wherein the improvement consists in that every cycle of wrapping paper feeding is carried out by way of the steps of forwarding a certain length of wrapping paper to the packaging section by means of wrapping paper feeding rollers until the leading end part of the forwarded wrapping paper is brought to the position located at the side of one of wrapping rollers, firmly holding the wrapping paper against the guide wall of a guide passage, displacing a movable guide away from the latter, carrying out an additional feeding in dependence on the selected diameter of coins to be packaged and cutting off the wrapping paper to the specific length by thrusting it against a cutting knife while it is stretched.

Abstract: In a coin disposing apparatus, a mechanism is disclosed for aligning a random supply of coins preparatory to further processing. Included is a rotary disc for receiving thereon the coins to be processed from an overhead belt conveyor and for centrifugally sending the coins toward the disc periphery. A coin runway extends from a peripheral position on the rotary disc to a subsequent processing station for aligned delivery of the coins. An endless belt makes frictional contact with the periphery of the rotary disc, except at least where the entrance of the coin runway is located, for simultaneous rotation therewith. Thus, on being centrifugally forced into peripheral contact with the endless belt on the rotary disc, the coins do not revolve about their own axes, unlike the case where the disc rotates inside a fixed annular wall, and so is smoothly and noiselessly fed into the runway one by one. The invention also features a fixed annular wall arranged over the endless belt rotary wall.

Abstract: Nitrodiphenyl ether derivatives of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein X represents chlorine, fluorine, methyl or trifluoromethyl and n is an integer of 1-3 are valuable as herbicides, the compounds and compositions containing these compounds possessing an excellent herbicidal activity to a wide variety of undesirable weeds with an extremely low toxicity to useful crops.

Abstract: In a coin packaging apparatus of the type comprising a stacking cylinder for stacking a prescribed number of coins of the same denomination, a cutter blade for severing a wrapper strip as the same is unwound from its roll, wrapping rolls for winding the severed piece of wrapper strip around the circumference of the stack of coins, and a pair of crimping hooks for crimping the opposite marginal edges of the wrapper strip over both ends of the coin stack, several wrapper rolls of different widths are used interchangeably in accordance with the denomination of coins to be packaged, and each time a new wrapper roll is installed in position on the apparatus, its width is sensed by a wrapper width sensing member which correspondingly actuates a mechanism for adjustably moving one of the crimping hooks in the direction of the other hook and a mechanism for adjustably changing the position of the cutter blade in the transverse direction of the wrapper strip which will extend therepast from its roll.
