Abstract: A protector (10) is attached to a wire harness (13) disposed in the passenger compartment of a vehicle. The protector (10) comprises: a wire harness accommodation part (21) that accommodates the wire harness (13); and a connection part (22) that is connected to an interior member (15) in the passenger compartment.

Abstract: A protector includes an inner case that has an opening portion and houses a wire harness, and an outer case that covers the opening portion of the inner case. The outer case includes a cover portion that covers a side of the inner case opposite to an installation surface, and a pair of outer wall portions that extend from the cover portion and face each other. The inner case is mounted between the pair of outer wall portions. The pair of outer wall portions respectively have abutment portions capable of abutting against the installation surface in a state where the protector is disposed on the installation surface.

Abstract: Identification of a protein having an activity of oxidizing oleanane-type triterpene, and a gene encoding the protein, the protein and the gene, and use thereof are provided. For example, a protein having an activity of oxidizing oleanane-type triterpene obtained from a plant in the family Fabaceae, a gene encoding the protein and use thereof are provided. The protein is shown in, for example, SEQ ID NO: 4, 14 or 18, and the gene encoding the protein is shown in, for example, SEQ ID NO: 3, 13 or 17. A transformant into which the gene is introduced can be produced, and thereby a triterpene oxidase can be obtained.

Abstract: Recording in a memory configured to temporarily record captured images is controlled in response to a shift instruction from a user. A control unit receives, from the user, the shift instruction containing an information item of specifying any of images displayed on a display unit, and updates an image recording start position in the memory in response to the shift instruction. A recording region for preceding captured images with respect to the updated recording start position is set as an overwritable region so that subsequent captured images can be recorded. The display unit displays, for example, images captured at intervals of a predetermined time period so that the user can select any of the images and issue the shift instruction. In this way, a region preceding a position of a selected image in the memory is set to be overwritable so that the subsequent captured images are recorded.

A hinge device connecting a body member 13 and a cover member 12 comprises: open-close hinge units 3, 4 to open and close the cover member 12 and to hold the open cover member 12 at a first open position where a cellphone operation can be performed; and a pivotal hinge unit 4 secured to the body member 13 and activated when the cover member 12 is opened beyond the first open position, the pivotal hinge unit 4 being adapted to pivot the cover member 12 clockwise or counterclockwise and to hold the cover member 12 at a pivotal position 90 or 180 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise from the body member.

Abstract: A member of an earthquake-proof reinforcement structure is selected with reference to the allowable stress intensity ratio of the member, a ductility factor ratio allowable as a deformation magnification by earthquake-proof reinforcement of the selected member is set, an increase in load in a plasticity range, which acts on the selected member, is calculated on the basis of the set ductility factor ratio, and a corresponding allowable stress intensity ratio is obtained. When the obtained allowable stress intensity ratio is defined as a maximum value of 1.0, the corresponding increase in load in the plasticity range is specified as an ultimate load at which the selected member collapses.
