Abstract: Compositions, containing glycine and serine and having a content ratio of glycine to serine (glycine/serine) of not less than 0.6 in weight ratio are effective for improving cognitive function, and have an effective preventive or improving effect on a decline in cognitive function and cognitive dysfunction, are highly safe, and enable continuous ingestion or administration.

Abstract: A pneumatic control device for controlling a pneumatic system operable in a plurality of modes, including: push levers corresponding to the operation modes and movable in a first direction to its operated position, the push levers being spaced from each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; changeover switches operated by the push levers for selectively establishing the operation modes, each switch including an actuator member movable within the housing in the second direction between its first and second positions; and a plurality of plate cams superposed on each other and disposed so as to extend in the second direction, in operative association with the push levers so as to cause relative longitudinal movements of the cams upon movements of the push levers to the operated position, each cam engaging the operating portion of at least one of the switches, so that the operating portion of each switch engaging the cam is moved in the second direction together with the cam upon the m
