Abstract: Annular liquid chamber resonance in an inverted type liquid sealed mount is controlled without using flow resistance. In an engine mount including a secondary liquid chamber located in an upper position, a primary liquid chamber located in a lower position, a main body section of an insulator projecting upwardly in substantially a chevron shape, and an annular liquid chamber formed around the main body section, a control projection is provided on an outside wall of the main body section to project upwardly and configured to produce elastic body resonance in the vicinity of a resonance frequency of annular liquid chamber resonance. With this construction, the annular liquid chamber resonance is controllable by the elastic body resonance of the control projection, and the control projection is increased in size so as to endure flow resistance whereby to improve durability.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method of producing a peptide, characterized in contacting a reaction mixture with a base after a condensation reaction to hydrolyze while a basic condition is maintained until a ratio of a remaining unreacted active ester of an acid component is decreased to 1% or less in a liquid phase peptide synthesis method. According to the invention, a target peptide of high purity can be simply and efficiently produced by a continuous liquid phase synthesis method. Further, the present invention is related to a method of producing a peptide, characterized in using an amide-type solvent immiscible with water in a liquid phase peptide synthesis method. According to the invention, various peptides can be produced by the liquid phase synthesis method without being restricted by the amino acid sequence of the target peptide.
