  • Patent number: 10266136
    Abstract: A vehicle substructure includes a panel in which an accommodating recessed portion is disposed, a battery holder attached to a bottom surface of the accommodating recessed portion, and a battery attached to the battery holder. The battery includes a first flange portion and a second flange portion. The battery holder includes a carrier on which the battery is mounted, a first clamp portion having the first flange portion interposed between the carrier and the first clamp portion, and a second clamp portion having the second flange portion interposed between the carrier and the second clamp portion. A spacer filled in a space between the first side surface and an inner wall surface of the accommodating recessed portion is disposed between the first side surface and the inner wall surface of the accommodating recessed portion and above the first clamp portion.

  • Patent number: 5852209
    Abstract: Provided is a process for separating (S)- or (R)-2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionic acid from a mixture of (S)- and (R)-2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionic acid, which comprises (1) reacting the mixture of (S)- and (R)-2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionic acid with (S)- or (R)-3-methyl-2-phenylbutylamine in a suitable solvent to form a diastereomer salt of (S)-2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionic acid with (S)-3-methyl-2-phenylbutylamine or a diastereomer salt of (R)-2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionic acid with (R)-3-methyl-2-phenylbutylamine; (2) separating the diastereomer salt from the reaction mixture; and (3) liberating the separated diastereomer salt to give (S)- or (R)-2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionic acid. According to the present process, it is possible to obtain optically active (S)- or (R)-2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionic acid having 99% or more of high optical purity in a high yield. Thus, the present process is a practical and efficient process which can simplify purification steps and can be applied for an industrial production process.
