  • Publication number: 20240065992
    Abstract: An aortic aneurysm has few noticeable symptoms and is at high risk of rupture without a sign of abnormality. Further, if the aortic aneurysm ruptures, it causes a shock state due to massive blood loss and results in a very low survival rate. Thus, when the aortic aneurysm is found by physical examination or the like, surgery with a stent graft or the like needs to be performed according to the state of its progression. A pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating an aortic aneurysm including a medium chain fatty acid as a main component has an effect of inhibiting the occurrence and progression of the aortic aneurysm. Thus, when the aortic aneurysm is found, continuous intake of the composition can not only inhibit the progression of the aortic aneurysm but also mediate the regression of the aortic aneurysm, thereby producing the effect of improving vital prognosis.

  • Patent number: 10510507
    Abstract: A fuse unit includes a fusible link, a holding mechanism, and a locking mechanism. The fusible link is connected to a battery terminal and includes a fusible element that melts when an overcurrent flows through the fusible link. The holding mechanism includes a base portion disposed between a post standing surface of a battery housing and the battery terminal in a state where the battery terminal is fastened to a battery post provided on the post standing surface, and a holding portion that is formed next to the base portion and that holds the fusible link above the post standing surface. The locking mechanism locks the holding mechanism onto the post standing surface. With this configuration, the fuse unit can suppress a load acting on the battery post.

  • Patent number: 10141148
    Abstract: A connection portion of a locking member is bent such that the connection portion is made apart from a second upper surface portion as the connection portion is made apart from a first arm portion, and is bent such that the connection portion is made apart from a side surface portion as the connection portion is made apart from a second arm portion. Even when a tolerance is generated in a direction substantially orthogonal to the side surface portion at the time of installing a base body in an installation surface portion of a battery, it is possible to absorb the tolerance by deforming the connection portion, and to lock a locked portion in a lower end edge.
