Abstract: There is provided a vehicle controller that is mounted in a box-shaped manner beneath the floor or on the roof of a vehicle so as to supply electric power to vehicle apparatuses. The vehicle controller is configured with a plurality of functional modules 4; each of the functional modules 4 has at one side thereof an interface side 22 in which a first interface region 5 where signal-line terminals are arranged and a second interface region 6 where power-line terminals are arranged are separated; in each of the interface sides 22, the first interface region 5 is disposed in the vicinity of one and the same end and the second interface region 6 is disposed in the vicinity of the other and the same end; the plurality of functional modules includes a monitoring circuit, an overvoltage protection circuit, and an inverter.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for precisely predicting the metabolism of a drug in human liver and the effect of the drug on liver function. The invention provides a method for predicting a metabolite of a test substance produced in human liver and functions of the liver, wherein the method includes administering a test substance to a nonhuman chimeric animal and a non-chimeric animal of the same species, wherein the chimeric animal intracorporeally carries a population of human-origin hepatocytes having proliferation potential and in which the hepatocyte, population substantially functions as the liver of the chimeric animal, and wherein these animals are protected from the attack by a human complement produced by the hepatocytes; and analyzing and comparing metabolites from the chimeric animal and the non-chimeric animal.
