Abstract: An object is to provide a synthetic culture medium not containing animal-derived components. In particular, an object is to provide a culture medium not containing animal-derived components but containing peptides that promote cell growth or contribute to promotion of protein production. A culture medium containing a peptide selected from the group consisting of Gly-Glu-Lys (GEK), Asp-Gly-Pro (DGP), Ala-Gly-Lys (AGK), Gly-Pro-Pro (GPP), Gly-Gly-Pro (GGP), Ala-Glu-Lys (AEK), Ala-Gly-Gly (AGG), Ala-Ser-Asn (ASN), and Glu-Gly-Lys (EGK) is provided.

Abstract: A DC-DC converter for converting an input voltage and generating an output voltage. The DC-DC converter includes an adjustment resistor. A control circuit generates a control signal and includes an external terminal to which the adjustment resistor is externally connected. A switching transistor is connected to the control circuit and turned on or off in accordance with the control signal. The control circuit includes an oscillator that generates an oscillation signal. The control circuit generates the control signal based on the oscillation signal and a signal that is in accordance with an output voltage or output current of the DC-DC converter. The oscillator monitors a first amount of current flowing through the external terminal of the control circuit and generates the oscillation signal in a cycle that is accordance with the monitoring result.

Abstract: A wire disconnection inspecting device includes a vehicle position recognition unit for detecting that a vehicle has reached an inspection position; a preparation timing recognition unit for detecting that a step preceding by one is reached; a terminal for transmitting an operation signal to an ECU so as to make an electrical connection to a heating conductor; an infrared camera for imaging a rear shield of the vehicle; and a main processing unit for acquiring thermal image data from the infrared camera and inspecting disconnection of the heating conductor. The main processing unit recognizes that the vehicle has reached a step preceding by one according to the preparation timing recognition unit and makes electrical connection to the heating conductor via the terminal. The main processing unit acquires the image data from the infrared camera when the vehicle has reached the inspection position.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp inspection equipment comprises a vehicle position recognizing section for detecting arrival of a vehicle at an inspection position, a terminal to be connected with an ECU mounted on the vehicle, cameras for imaging the lamp of the vehicle which has arrived at the inspection position from the right and left front, cameras for imaging from the right and left rear, spot lights for illuminating the right and left wheels and long fluorescent lights for illuminating the right and left rear wheels. When the vehicle has arrived at the inspection position, a main processing section turns on or flashes the lamp through the terminal and the ECU and acquires image data from the cameras, thereby checking the lamp.
