Publication number: 20210323600Abstract: On the opposite side to an output of a rotation shaft of an electric motor, a ventilation hole communicating between an electronic control unit (ECU) housing space and an electric motor housing space is formed to an end surface wall of a motor housing separating the respective housing spaces. The ventilation hole has a waterproof ventilation part that suppresses water passing but permits the passage of air and water vapor. This structure eliminated the influence of flying rocks and muddy water from the external environment, and suppresses for a long period of time the internal pressure fluctuation of the ECU housing space and the penetration of water into the housing space. Therefore, the internal pressure fluctuation of the housing space for the ECU and the penetration of water into the housing space for the ECU can be suppressed over a long period of time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2019Publication date: October 21, 2021Applicant: HITACHI AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Kazuhiko NAKANO, Takuro KANAZAWA, Hideyuki HARA

Publication number: 20190338050Abstract: When the initiation suppression method was used for translation of a peptide having at its N terminus an amino acid residue carrying a thiol group near its amino group with specific protecting groups being introduced to the thiol group and the amino group, it was found that not only the probability of initiation of amino acid translation reaction was improved, but also production of cleaved peptides was suppressed and translation efficiency and purity were improved. Furthermore, it was found that it is possible to efficiently promote the cyclization reaction of the peptide through amide bond formation. Based on these findings, the inventors discovered novel methods for preparing complexes between nucleic acids and peptides containing various unnatural amino acids and having an amide bond-mediated cyclized portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2017Publication date: November 7, 2019Applicant: CHUGAI SEIYAKU KABUSHIKI8 KAISHAInventors: Kazuhiko NAKANO, Atsushi OHTA, Takeo IIDA, Hitoshi IIKURA
