  • Patent number: 9788441
    Abstract: A switching device includes a switching board with busbars, an upper case and stud bolts and nuts for fixing fastening terminals connected to wiring harnesses to the busbars. The upper case includes guide walls for guiding movements of the fastening terminals to fastening positions, and the restriction walls for restricting the rotation of the fastening terminals. The restriction walls are arranged to prevent a contact of the fastening terminal when the fastening terminal is rotated until the wiring harness comes into contact with the restriction wall.

  • Publication number: 20130071430
    Abstract: It is intended to provide a vaccinia virus that specifically proliferates in a cancer cell and destroys the cancer cell and to provide use of the virus in cancer treatment. The present invention provides a microRNA-controlled vaccinia virus, in which a target sequence of a microRNA less expressed in a cancer cell than in a normal cell is inserted in a 3? untranslated region of B5R gene associated with viral proliferation in a vaccinia virus, wherein the microRNA-controlled vaccinia virus specifically proliferates in the cancer cell and has an oncolytic property that destroys the cancer cell.
