Abstract: A charging connector includes a connector housing to be fitted to a power receiving connector, a connector case housing the connector housing, a lock arm arranged to be swingable about a swing fulcrum between a lock position and a release position, and a coil spring located toward a power receiving connector away from the swing fulcrum to bias the lock arm toward the lock position. The lock arm is provided with a spring compartment housing the coil spring in a manner such that the periphery of the coil spring is enclosed. The spring compartment is provided, on a bottom portion thereof, with a penetration hole extending in the lock arm.

Abstract: A charging inlet device includes: a connector housing provided, on a front wall thereof, with terminal insertion holes through which mating terminals are inserted; a cap arranged to be movable between a closed position where the cap is attached to the front wall to block the terminal insertion holes and an open position where the cap is separated from the front wall to open the terminal insertion holes to the outside; and a packing placed on the inner surface of the cap, wherein the front wall is provided with recesses at positions displaced from the terminal insertion holes.

Abstract: A control unit includes a mode control unit that, when a test operation switch is turned on, transmits information indicating that a test operation mode is performed to a centralized management device via an adapter and an external network. When the information indicating that the test operation mode is performed is received, the centralized management device restricts an operation on the operation terminal to prevent an operation of the air-conditioning apparatus from being changed via the operation terminal.

Abstract: An air-conditioning apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive remote control information transmitted from a remote control device, an adapter configured to receive remote information including operation details conveyed through an external network, an information outputting unit configured to output information when the adapter receives the remote information or when the receiving unit receives the remote control information, and a controller configured to control operations of the information outputting unit. The controller includes an information adjustment unit configured to cause the information outputting unit to output different information when the adapter receives the remote information and when the receiving unit receives the remote control information.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel peptide that can be effectively used to produce or grow tissue-specific stem cells or tissue-specific progenitor cells in vitro. The peptide of the invention is a peptide having an amino acid sequence consisting of the amino acid residues set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, or an analog thereof. A feature of the peptide of the invention is having at least one of the following effects: (1) an effect of inhibiting differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells or hematopoietic progenitor cells into myeloid cells, (2) an effect of promoting amplification of mesenchymal stem cells, and (3) an effect of inducing hematopoietic stem cells from pluripotent stem cells.

Abstract: A drainage inducing member that promotes drainage is arranged on an edge portion on the back side of a drain hole provided in an inlet base of an inlet assembly, in order to better promote the drainage of water that has reached the drain hole to the outside.

Abstract: Provided are a particle separation device and a method of separating particles, each of which can easily separate particles for a short time without a great stress to the particles and easily collect the particles thus separated. The particle separation device includes at least: a separation flow path (i) to which a separation fluid and a particle group including two types of particles being different in density are supplied, and (ii) through which the separation fluid flows in a certain direction; a divergence section connected to at least an end of the separation flow path in the certain direction in which the separation fluid flows, a first flow path formed from the divergence section in a rising direction; and a second flow path formed from the divergence section in a falling direction, the separation flow path being formed in a horizontal direction.

Abstract: The present invention provides indoor unit of air conditioner including a plurality of heat-exchangers, main-unit casing that accommodates heat-exchangers and includes suction air duct extending from air inlet to heat-exchangers and blowout air duct extending from heat-exchangers to air outlet, and air blower that is provided in blowout air duct and blows out air taken in from air inlet, from air outlet after having air passed through heat-exchangers.

Abstract: In a vehicle exhaust device, rear wheels are disposed outside of rear side members extending in a vehicle front-rear direction. Opening portions are formed at side portions, in the vehicle width-direction, of a rear bumper. Diffusers extending into the rear bumper are mounted in the opening portions. Mufflers are disposed at a rear portion of the vehicle with axes of the mufflers extending in the vehicle front-rear direction, and tail pipes connected to rear end faces of the mufflers are inserted into the diffusers while spaced from inner peripheries of the diffusers. The mufflers are disposed on rear sides of the rear wheels in the vehicle front-rear direction with outer peripheral faces of the mufflers protruding outside the rear side members in the vehicle-width direction, and with the rear end faces of the mufflers facing front end opening portions of the diffusers.

Abstract: An airbag door is formed integrally with an instrument panel where an outer skin member 10, in which a foam layer 12 is bonded to an outer skin 11, is bonded and laminated to a substrate member 4, and a tear line for performing fracture and deployment when an airbag is in operation is formed at a door substrate member portion of a substrate member 4. An adhesive strength between the foam layer and the above-mentioned door substrate member portion is set as a peel strength of at least 10N/25mm width or more. In the above-mentioned outer skin member 10, an outer skin single body fracture strength is set to 1.4-12.0 MPa, an outer skin single body elongation at break is set to 200-600%, and a peel strength between the foam layer and the outer skin is set to a range of 10-50N/25mm width.
