More specifically, the gene/carrier complex according to the present invention delivers a therapeutic gene in a stable manner in a case of being injected into the body with the visceral adipose tissue macrophages being targeted, and thus exhibits an excellent inhibitory effect against TACE, which allows the gene/carrier complex to be applied for prevention or treatment of obesity-induced type II diabetes.

Abstract: A compressor control module (CCM) controls an output of a variable displacement swash plate compressor. The CCM directly calculates, or receives from an external source, a signal indicating a desired or required output from the compressor, receives a current value of the desired or required output, and receives or calculates a current rotation speed and angle, with respect to a rotation axis, of a swash plate, or a current piston stroke length and a reciprocating frequency of the compressor. The CCM determines a difference between the desired or required output from the compressor and the current value and outputs a signal to a valve driving unit which will adjust an angle of a swash plate such that the actual value becomes closer to, or the same as, the desired or required output, taking into account the additional values received or calculated in the receives or calculates step.
