  • Patent number: 11976859
    Abstract: A refrigeration cycle apparatus includes a refrigeration cycle, an adsorption section, and a first bypass flow path. The refrigeration cycle includes a compressor, a radiator, an expansion mechanism, and an evaporator, and uses a non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture including a first refrigerant and a second refrigerant. The adsorption section includes an adsorbent and stores the first refrigerant adsorbed by the adsorbent. The adsorbent adsorbs the first refrigerant, and does not adsorb the second refrigerant or the adsorption performance thereof for the second refrigerant is lower than the adsorption performance thereof for the first refrigerant. The first bypass flow path connects a first end which is a high-pressure part of the refrigeration cycle and a second end which is a low-pressure part of the refrigeration cycle. The adsorption section and a valve are disposed in the first bypass flow path.

  • Publication number: 20230059753
    Abstract: Object: To provide an antisense guide RNA for editing a target RNA by ADAR. Solution: An antisense guide RNA for editing a target RNA by ADAR, containing at least one functional region and an antisense region that is complementary to a portion of the target RNA and can form a double strand with the target RNA, in which the at least one functional region is linked to the antisense region, and in which the guide RNA does not substantially contain an ADAR-recruiting base sequence.
