Abstract: The present invention provides novel compounds of formula [IA] or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof: which are useful in the prevention or treatment of diseases such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, cognitive impairment, dementia, anxiety disorders (e.g., generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, specific phobias, acute stress disorder), depression, drug dependence, spasm, tremor, pain, Parkinson's disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, eating disorder, or sleep disorders, which is based on the glycine uptake-inhibiting action.

Abstract: This rack structure includes: a battery shelf (55) for accommodating a plurality of battery units (30); a rack (10) in which at least one battery shelf (55) is mounted; and a connector (180) which electrically connects the battery shelf and the rack with each other. The connector (180) has a first connector member (181) disposed on a rear surface of the battery shelf and a second connector member (191) disposed on the rack side, and is configured such that the first connector member (181) and the second connector member (191) are connected with each other while the battery shelf (55) is moved to a predetermined mounting position in the rack.

Abstract: A battery shelf assembly (50) includes: a plurality of battery units (30); a battery shelf (55) accommodating the battery units (30), configured such that the battery units (30) are mounted or dismounted by sliding movement in the battery shelf; and a power connector (120) connecting the battery unit (30) and the battery shelf (55) so that power of the battery unit can be output. The power connector (120) has: a first connector member (121) disposed at an electrode terminal of the battery unit (30); a second connector member (131) disposed on the battery shelf side and configured to connect with the first connector member (121); and a floating structure that absorbs a position gap between the first and second connector members.

Abstract: A housing frame includes a first and second beams connected to each other through a connection member. The two beams are each obtained by perpendicularly bending a metal plate twice in the longitudinal direction. The second beam is arranged perpendicular to the first beam. The connection member has a connection base portion extending from a bent side surface of a second base portion to a bent side surface of a first base portion through a cut portion formed in a first side portion and overlaps with the first base portion and the second base portion. The connection base portion and the first base portion are fastened together by a first fastening member, and the connection base portion and the second base portion are fastened together by a second fastening member.

Abstract: Before starting data recording/playback, a determination unit (13) determines whether data to be recorded/replayed correspond to data to be recorded/replayed in real time or data to be recorded/replayed with accuracy, and transmits the determination result to a CPU (10). When it is determined that the data to be recorded/replayed correspond to data to be recorded/replayed with accuracy, the CPU (10) decides to execute a process upon occurrence of an error during data recording/playback that involves performing retry operations a predetermined number of times to retry the data recording/playback operations on an error generated area. When it is determined that the data to be recorded/replayed correspond to data to be recorded/replayed in real time, the CPU (10) decides to execute a process that involves ignoring an error that occurs during data recording/playback and proceeding with the recording/playback operations.

Abstract: The CPU 38 of the personal computer 3 controls other components to input content data; to compress the content data; to extract index data from the content data based on data type information obtained during the compression of the content data; and to record the compressed content data, the index data, and recording time information obtained during the compression of the content data on the optical disk 1 mounted on the DVD drive 2, thereby making it simpler to generate index data.

Abstract: By causing a rubber product to be immersed into or coated with a treating liquid prepared by adding hydrogen peroxide and other additives such as surfactant, alcohol, thickening agent, other surface tension depressant into an aqueous acetic acid or formic acid solution, it becomes possible to efficiently epoxidize the surface layer of the rubber product to thereby provide the rubber product surface with non-adhesive property, sliding property and other barriering properties, without causing toxic gases and contamination due to powder dust during the manufacturing process and without deteriorating properties inherent in the rubber product such as elasticity, elongation and tensile strength.

Abstract: A washing apparatus includes a washing bath in which articles to be cleaned are washed. The washing bath contains a detergent of a kind containing a nonion surface active agent and a terpene-based solvent as principal components thereof. The articles to be cleaned are, after having been washed in the washing bath, immersed in a rinsing bath containing a rinsing water. The rinsing bath is provided with a recirculating passage extending from a portion of the rinsing bath back to another portion of the rinsing bath, a precision filter disposed on the recirculating passage and having a micro-porous membrane having an average pore size not smaller than 0.01 .mu.m, but not greater than 0.2 .mu.m, and an adsorbent filter containing a mass of activated carbon for substantially purifying the rinsing water which has been passed through the precision filter. The articles to be cleaned are first washed with the detergent of the specified kind and then rinsed within the rinsing bath.
