Abstract: A compound effective in prevention and treatment of arteriosclerosis with a mechanism different from that of statin drugs has the following formula or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or hydrate thereof: wherein R1 is an aliphatic, alicyclic, or aromatic acyloxy group, or a group of the formula —O—CH(R7)—R8 where R7 is a lower alkoxy group and R8 is an aryl group, and R2 is carboxyl, a lower alkoxycarbonyl group, or an arylmethylcarbamoyl group, or a —CH2-acyloxy group and R3 is an aliphatic, alicyclic or aromatic acyloxy group, provided that at least one of R4 and R3 is a group other than acetoxy, or R2 and R3 taken together form a group of the formula —O—CH(R5)—O— where R5 is an aryl group.

Abstract: A resin composition with no substantial halogen element content contains a tungsten powder, a polyester elastomer, silica, a polysiloxane compound, and melamine cyanurate. Relative to 100% in weight of the polyester elastomer, the total content of silica and the polysiloxane compound is 22% or more in weight, the content of melamine cyanurate is 17% or more in weight, and the total content of silica, the polysiloxane compound, and melamine cyanurate is 45% to 53% in weight. The oxygen index of the resin composition is 26 or more. The number of times of circumferentially bending a test piece at 90 degrees around a 10 mm-diameter column in a repetitive bending test using the test piece made of the resin composition having a length of 50 mm, a width of 100 mm, and a thickness of 2.25 mm is 1000 or more.

Abstract: In a core structure of a heat exchanger, tubes and corrugated fins are alternately arranged between seat plates arranged opposite to each other with a predetermined space interposed therebetween. End portions of the tubes are inserted into tube holes formed respectively in each of the top and bottom seat plates to be fixed. On the seat plates, there are provided connection portions having wall portions slanting from main body portions thereof toward the tube holes. When a thickness of the tubes is 0.13 mm to 0.23 mm, a slant angle ? of the wall portions of the connection portions is set to satisfy: slant angle ? (°)?25?(thickness (mm) of sheet plate)+(?125?(thickness (mm) of tube)+25).

Abstract: In a core structure of a heat exchanger, tubes and corrugated fins are alternately arranged between seat plates arranged opposite to each other with a predetermined space interposed therebetween. Both end portions of the tubes are inserted into tube holes of connection portions formed respectively in each of the top and bottom seat plates to be fixed. On the seat plates, there are provided connection portions on which are formed wall portions slanting from main body portions thereof toward the tubes and vulnerable portions formed thinner than the seat plates and in series on the wall portions and absorb thermal stress of the seat plates against the tubes by bending.

Abstract: A method for calculating the power of an integer raised to a constant real number. The method may be used to process digital signals, which are encoded in such a fashion as to require such processing. An embodiment of the present invention first receives a segment of a bitstream. Next, the process determines whether an integer value of the segment is within a look-up table. The look-up table contains a list of integers and a corresponding list of the integers raised to the power of a real number. If the integer value is within the look-up table, the process indexes the look-up table with the integer value to determine substantially the value of the integer raised to the real power. If, however, the integer value is not within the look-up table, the process indexes the table with a plurality of integers which are within the table to approximate the value of the segment from the bitstream raised to the real power. The process repeats these steps for each segment in the signal bitstream.

Abstract: An insulating glass film is formed on a heater film, and a gas sensitive film is formed on the glass film. The MgO content in the glass is kept at 0.1 wt % or under to prevent Mg from eluting into absorbed water at low temperatures and segregating on the cathode by the detection voltage.
