Abstract: A throttle device for an internal-combustion engine, in which, on one surface of a throttle body side wall is formed a mounting space for mounting a reduction gear mechanism which transmits the power of a motor to a throttle valve shaft; and a throttle sensor for detecting the throttle valve opening is built inside of the gear cover covering the mounting space, and is covered with a sensor cover. A shaft hole of a rotor of the throttle sensor is exposed out through the sensor cover. When the gear cover is attached to the side wall of the throttle body, one end of the throttle valve shaft fits in the rotor shaft hole by elastically deforming a fitting spring inserted in the shaft hole, thereby enabling downsizing, weight reduction, and simplification of assembly and wiring harness of the electronically controlled throttle device, and realization of stabilized operation and improved accuracy of the throttle sensor.

Abstract: The present invention provides method of making a protein hydrolysate formula and protein hydrolysate formulas made thereby for downregulating hypersensitivity and for promoting gut immune barrier, and methods of preventing or treating allergies, especially cow's milk allergy by combining the protein with probiotic gastrointestinal bacteria, especially Lactobacilli. The probiotics make it possible to influence the immunological balance, whereby allergy can be prevented by affecting the initiation mechanism of allergy. The present invention makes it possible to develop a person's tolerance of proteins by actively promoting a tolerogenic immune response. In addition, present invention provides for administering fragments of an allergen modified by probiotic gastrointestinal bacteria in order to desensitize a immune response to systemic hyporesponsiveness.

Abstract: A connecting screw for a locking rail of a vertical belt adjuster is anchored in a threaded head of a sleeve element anchored in a vehicle pillar wall. The sleeve element can be positioned during installation by a guide element which envelops the threaded head and is disposed so as to clamp in notches of the threaded head.

Abstract: A scanner with a built-in microcontroller is provided for decreasing the delay of transmission. The scanner includes: an image-picking device for picking digital data of a plurality of image lines, a microcontroller electrically connected to the image-picking device for continuously detecting whether the image-picking device is ready to scan a second image line after a first image line is picked and send out a digital data which have been picked, and an interface device electrically connected to the image-picking device and a universal serial bus (USB) for receiving the digital data sent out by the image-picking device and transmitting the digital data to a data processing device through the USB.
