Abstract: A vapor chamber includes a main body sheet having a first main body surface and a second main body surface provided on an opposite side to the first main body surface, a space provided on the first main body surface of the main body sheet, a first sheet laminated on the first main body surface of the main body sheet and covering the space, and a retracted portion retracted toward the space beyond an outer periphery of the main body sheet or an outer periphery of the first sheet in a plan view.

Abstract: The disclosure is to optimize and display a clear stereoscopic image while securing a depth. A stereoscopic display apparatus is provided. The stereoscopic display apparatus includes a display, a display driver configured to display an elemental image of a stereoscopic image on the display, a light source controller including a first lens array positioned on a rear surface of the display and including a plurality of first cylinder lenses arranged at a preset pitch, a second lens array positioned on a rear surface of the first lens array and including a plurality of second cylinder lenses arranged at a pitch that is wider than the pitch of the first cylinder lenses, a plurality of light sources positioned on rear surfaces of the second cylinder lenses, and a diffusion sheet positioned between the display and the first lens array and positioned at a position including a focal point of each first cylinder lens, and a light source driver configured to drive a line light source illuminating the elemental image.

Abstract: A vehicle controller includes: an identifying unit that identifies a parking location of a vehicle; and a control unit that controls power supply to in-vehicle devices in response to operation on a power switch of the vehicle, the control unit maintains the power supply to a target in-vehicle device, which is at least one of the in-vehicle devices, during a predetermined target duration time after the vehicle is parked and the power switch is turned off, and the target duration time is determined depending on the parking location of the vehicle that is identified by the identifying unit.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to compositions, methods and systems for improving blood circulation and/or for the treatment of acute poor circulation of the liver, kidneys, heart, brain, and other organs utilizing highly concentrated tocotrienols/tocotrienol derivatives. The compositions, methods and systems of the disclosure may also be applicable in the treatment of chronic tissue hypoxemia, organ damage as a result of cell death, dementia, ulceration of the skin, and other such internal organ/brain/skin failure.

Abstract: The present invention provides a preventive or therapeutic agent for tissue injury caused by active oxygens and free radicals, having for its effective component .gamma.-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine ester derivative indicated in the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein, R is a straight chain, branched or cyclical hydrocarbon group having 1-10 carbon atoms, or a straight chain or branched hydrocarbon group having 1-carbons substituted with an aromatic group, or its oxidized dimer.This compound has the effect of elevating glutathione levels in tissue and biochemically substitute for glutathione thereby performing preventive or therapeutic effects against ischemia-reperfusion tissue injury in the heart, liver and other organs, arrhythmia, as well as lung injury caused by active oxygens and free radicals.

Abstract: An image-forming apparatus for forming an image on a sheet-like material, having an image-forming unit for forming a toner image on the sheet-like material, and a heated roller for heating the sheet-like material with the toner image. The heated roller includes a surface layer having a heat-shrunk fluorine resin. A pressure roller is arranged in rolling contact with the heated roller, for pressing the sheet-like material against the heated roller. A member for providing at least one of the following conditions: a) temperature at the surface of the heated roller of at least 200.degree. C.; b) a pressure between the heated roller and the pressure roller of at least about 72.5 N; c) a hardness of the surface of the pressure roller of at least about 40.degree. (ASKER-C system); and d) an elastic surface layer on the pressure roller having a thickness of at most about 50 .mu.m and which comprises a fluorine resin.
