Abstract: A rotating terminal (16) has a circumferential outer peripheral surface (21a, 24a) having its center disposed at an axis (13, 21b) of rotation of the rotating terminal, and has electrically conductive areas and non-electrically conductive areas alternately arranged on the outer peripheral surface in the circumferential direction. At least one pair of fixed terminals (17, 18) are fixed and disposed outwardly of a path of rotation of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating terminal. In accordance with a rotating position of the rotating terminal, the pair of fixed terminals can be switched between an electrically-conducting condition, in which the pair of fixed terminals are electrically connected together through the rotating terminal, and an interrupting condition in which the pair of fixed terminals are not electrically connected together through the rotating terminal.

Abstract: A plurality of fuse elements each having a pair of flat terminal pieces interconnected by a fusible part, and a coupling part for coupling the flat terminal pieces of each fuse element along the fuse belt are one-piece formed by pressing process. A fuse belt is formed by attaching an insulating housing covering the fusible part to each fuse element. The flat terminal pieces of each fuse element in the fuse belt are successively separated from the coupling part by cutting, and the fuses are mounted to fuse mounting parts of an electric junction box.

Abstract: Providing an evacuated blood collection tube for blood collection rapidly, whereby serum of high purity can be isolated in a rapid and simple manner with no occurrence of fibrin deposition. Beads each coated with a blood coagulation-promoting enzyme comprising thrombin and batroxobin are contained in the evacuated blood collection tube. Preferably, thrombin is used in an amount of 0.1 to 3 IU and batroxobin is used in an amount of 0.25 to 2 BU, per 1 ml of collected blood.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal display panel in which pixels are arranged in rows and columns. Each of the pixels includes a pixel electrode, and a thin-film transistor having a gate electrode and a drain electrode. Gate signal lines arranged in the rows are connected to the gate electrodes of the thin-film transistors. Drain signal lines arranged in the columns are connected to the drain electrodes of the thin-film transistors. The liquid crystal display device further includes a gate drive circuit for driving the gate signal lines, and a drain drive circuit for driving the drain signal lines. The drain drive circuit receives a plurality of grey-scale reference voltages from an external circuit, interpolates a plurality of intermediate voltages between each pair of adjacent ones of the grey-scale reference voltages, selects voltages from the grey-scale reference voltages and the intermediate voltages, and applies the selected voltages to the drain signal lines.

Abstract: Herein disclosed are a liquid crystal display device and a data processing device, which can have their frame portions reduced in area to reduce the size and weight by extracting the terminals of video signals to only one side of a liquid crystal display panel and by arranging a video signal line driving circuit substrate to be connected with the terminals, only at one side of the display panel.

The drain drive circuit receives a plurality of grey-scale reference voltages from an external circuit, interpolates a plurality of intermediate voltages between each pair of adjacent ones of the grey-scale reference voltages, selects voltages from the grey-scale reference voltages and the intermediate voltages, and applies the selected voltages to the drain signal lines. V0 is a grey-scale reference voltage corresponding to a minimum grey-scale level, Vm is a grey-scale reference voltage corresponding to a maximum grey-scale level, and Vi is a grey-scale reference voltage that is nearest to a voltage level (Vm+V0)/2. A number of intermediate voltages interpolated between V(i-1) and Vi is greater than both a number of intermediate voltages interpolated between V0 and V1, and a number of intermediate voltages interpolated between V(m-1) and Vm.
