Abstract: The present invention provides compounds which specifically inhibit FXa, which are effective when orally administered and which are useful as a safe medicine for the prevention or treatment of diseases caused by thrombus or infarction.

Abstract: A mango kernel triturate or mango kernel extract has a bacteriostatic and antibacterial activity, and thus can be used in food products or cosmetics as a bacteriostatic and antibacterial agent. Furthermore, agents for preventing and treating acne or agents for preventing dental caries can be provided by adding said extract as an effective component.

Abstract: A multiband mobile unit communication apparatus is disclosed which comprises: an antenna for receiving 1st and 2nd bands of radio wave SIGs including quadrature modulation SIGs; a 1st LO CKT for generating a 1st LO SIG; 1st and 2nd receiving CKTs for generating 1st and 2nd IF SIGs from the 1st and 2nd bands of radio wave SIGs using the 1st LO SIG respectively; a switching CKT responsive to a switching control SIG indicative of 1st and 2nd modes for outputting the 1st IF SIG in the 1st mode and outputting the 2nd IF SIG in the 2nd mode; a 2nd LO CKT for generating 2nd and 3rd LO SIGs in the 1st and 2nd modes respectively; and a quadrature demodulation CKT for demodulating and outputting quadrature SIGs from an output from the switching CKT using the 2nd and third LO SIGs in the 1st and 2nd modes respectively.

Abstract: An electrically powered vehicle wherein the electric power may be provided by an auxiliary electric motor with power assist being determined by a manual force applied by an operator for manually propelling the vehicle. The vehicle control includes a method for determining when the vehicle is being started from a stop and for providing a gradual application of electric power assist during such start-up. In addition, if the operator calls for an abrupt change in power assist, the actual power assist is applied only gradually to provide smoother operation. The system also has self-checking functions and the electric power assist is disabled in response to certain types of failures. However, the operator is warned in advance that the power will be shut down so as to avoid emergency situations. The self-checking provides an arrangement for checking when the speed sensor is inoperative by sensing certain output characteristics of the speed sensor and the force application.

Abstract: An electrically power assisted, manually operated vehicle, such as a bicycle, that includes a force sensor for varying the amount of power assist by an electrical motor in response to the manual force input. In addition, a vehicle speed sensor is incorporated for sensing vehicle speed. An abnormality condition detector detects both the outputs from the force sensor and the vehicle speed sensor and indicates an abnormality and discontinues the supply of electrical power to the electric motor in the event of a discrepancy in the outputs of the sensors.

Abstract: A processing apparatus includes a processing chamber and an insertion jig for inserting an object to be processed into the processing chamber. The processing chamber and the insertion jig are adapted to be individually movable relative to a heating section, so that the operation of loading and unloading the object into and from the processing chamber effected by the insertion jig is conducted outside the heating section, thereby preventing the outside air from being induced to enter the heated processing chamber, together with the object of the processing, and thus avoiding the occurrence of various problems, for example, the object of processing being disorderly oxidized by the oxygen contained in the outside air, and the foreign matter contained in the outside air being undesirably attached to the surface of the object, so as to obtain excellent processing results.

Abstract: A file backup system for POS data includes a master terminal and a backup terminal along with a master file and a backup file, all of which are coupled to a plurality of satellite terminals. A file controller is provided for each of the files. When one of the files is down, the master file is capable of copying the contents of the down file while simultaneously responding to a request from any terminal and controlling the transfer of data without stopping the operation of the system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas switch provided with a body case wherein a switching unit is installed and an arc-extinguishing gas such as sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) or the like is enclosed at a constant pressure, and an actuating mechanism for operating the switching unit. When a pressure of the arc-extinguishing gas comes lower than a predetermined value, a lock member is disposed to a working position whereat it engages with the actuating mechanism, the actuating mechanism is thus locked unoperatably, and a display member is ready for observing externally in accordance with a shift of the lock member. Operators then carry out works for maintenance and check of the gas switch as ensuring the state wherein a gas pressure drops in the body case and the actuating mechanism has been locked.
