The fluorinated ether compound of the invention is useful as a fluorinated inert medium or the like. Rf(CH2)nO(CH2)nRf ??(I) wherein Rf is a C1-10 fluorinated monovalent saturated organic group, and n is 3 or 4.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition useful for rapid disintegration, which comprises a sparingly soluble medicament held on a gel-forming water-soluble polymer as a solid dispersion, wherein it contains a salt substance that comprises an alkali and a weak or strong acid and has an endothermic standard enthalpy of solution or heat of solution. Since rapid disintegration of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention and rapid dissolution of the medicament contained in the preparation can be made in the digestive tracts pH-independently, good bioavailability can be attained.

Abstract: A vehicular forward-vision display system includes a night-vision camera for scanning a nighttime image ahead of a vehicle and a head-up display for displaying the scanned nighttime image as a virtual image on a front windshield. Luminance of the displayed image is decreased with decreasing vehicle speed. The luminance of the nighttime image is thereby decreased under a low speed where vision aid is not so necessary. This decreasing of the luminance results in giving a driver relief from botheration of being caught by the scanned image displayed on the front windshield.

Abstract: The present invention provides a switchgear, which can achieve miniaturization and simplification while securing high operation reliability, and excellent in assembly, operability and inspection, and further, has a compact size.
