Abstract: A working vehicle includes a main shift lever to perform a shift operation, and a switching mechanism operable by the main shift lever to switch between a stepped shift operation state in which the main shift lever is shiftable stepwise and a continuously variable shift operation state in which the main shift lever is shiftable steplessly. The switching mechanism includes a support portion provided in a vehicle body and including grooves corresponding to shift positions of the main shift lever, and an engaging portion movable relative to the main shift lever. The main shift lever is configured to switch the engaging portion between a position where the engaging portion is engageable with the grooves and a position where the engaging portion is not engageable with the grooves.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for inducing differentiation of motor neurons with less burden on a donor. The method for producing motor neurons from urine-derived cells according to the present invention includes a step of introducing into the urine-derived cell a transcription factor for inducing differentiation into a motor neuron. The transcription factor is introduced into the urine-derived cells by an adenoviral vector. The method of the present invention can further include a step of culturing the urine-derived cell into which the transcription factor has been introduced to obtain a cell positive for (I) at least one selected from the group consisting of Tuj1 and ISL1, and positive for (II) at least one selected from the group consisting of HB9, ChAT, and SMI32, preferably a cell positive for at least SMI 32 for (II).

Abstract: An electronic money server groups a parent who owns a parent mobile phone and children who own child mobile phones to be registered as a family, and credit information of the parent is also registered. When the child accesses the electronic money server by using the child mobile phone and specifies a money amount to request family charge, the electronic money server requests the parent mobile phone for permission of the family charge. When the parent grants the family charge, the electronic money server allows the parent mobile phone to decrease a value by the money amount specified by the child and to make the family settlement, and allows the child mobile phone to increase the value by this money amount and to effect the family charge. Further, the child mobile phone can accept issue of credit from a credit server on credit of the parent, thereby effecting the family charge.

Formula (I) P1-A1-A2-A3-A4-A5-A6-A7-A8-A9-A10-A11-A12-A13-A14-A15-A16-A17-A18-A19-A20-A21-A22-A23-A24-A25-A26-A27-A28-A29-A30-A31-A32-A33-A34-A35-A36-A37-A38-A39-A40-A41-A42-P2, wherein each symbol is as defined herein, with the proviso that the GIF receptor agonist peptide is not native human GIF having an amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1.

Abstract: A micro-hotplate comprises a Si substrate having a cavity and a support layer over the cavity; at least an electrode; and a heater, both provided on the support layer. The electrode surrounds the heater and the heater is disposed inside the electrode. The power efficiency of the micro-hotplate is improved.

Abstract: The present invention provides a highly reliable stereo camera in which it is possible to prevent the heat generated by an image processing element from contributing to an increase in the temperature of an image sensor, even if the stereo camera is made more compact and the heat density is thus increased inside the stereo camera.

Abstract: The present invention provides a stereo camera capable of mitigating thermal stress generated between members and reducing measurement error. In the present invention, a housing is provided with a high-rigidity support part and low-rigidity support part for supporting a circuit board, a high-rigidity support area including the high-rigidity support part, and a low-rigidity support area including the low-rigidity support part. The high-rigidity support part has greater rigidity in relation to force acting in a baseline direction (X-axis direction) following a baseline length of a pair of camera modules than the low-rigidity support part. The high-rigidity support area is provided in one location so as to be adjacent to the low-rigidity support area in the baseline direction.

Abstract: Ground stations 20, 21 receive any signal transmitted by a geostationary artificial satellite 10, and store the reception signal together with the reception time thereof. A difference ?t in reception time of a same signal between the ground station 20 and the ground station 21 is calculated by performing correlation processing of the reception signal of the ground station 20 and the reception signal of the ground station 21. A distance R20 between the ground station 20 and the geostationary artificial satellite 10 is measured by a distance measurement device. A distance R21 between the ground station 21 and the geostationary artificial satellite 10 is calculated on the basis of the distance R20 obtained by measurement and the difference ?t in reception times, as obtained by correlation processing.

Abstract: When an electronic money card is set to a reader/writer, an introducing site connection unit is activated to connect a user terminal to an introducing site. The introducing site connection unit stores manufacturer information and transmits an electronic money function unit ID and the manufacturer information read from the electronic money card to the introducing site. An introducing server connects the user terminal to an affiliated store server through the introducing site, and the affiliated store server transmits purchase information to the introducing server when a user purchases. The introducing server calculates a commission amount from the purchase information and transmits the calculated amount together with the electronic money function unit ID and the manufacturer information to a distributing server. The distributing server distributes the commission amount to the electronic money function unit ID and the manufacturer information based on a predetermined distribution ratio.
