Abstract: An oxidation inhibitor containing, as an active ingredient, an aminocarbonyl compound having a structure resulting from binding of an amino group of a compound having sphingoid base structure and a carbonyl group of a carbonyl compound. The oxidation inhibitor has high oxidation inhibitory effects, and inhibits oxidation of fats and oils, in particular, fats and oils containing a large proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids to prevent deterioration due to oxidation of fats and oils.

Abstract: The present invention relates to glycophospholipids represented by the general formula ?I!: ##STR1## The glycophospholipid of the present invention can be obtained by extracting lipid fraction of whey, butter milk, etc. with a mixed solvent of chloroform/methanol and purifying by silica gel chromatography.The glycophospholipid of the present invention is that having a novel structure and existing in milk lipid, and utilized as a biochemical reagent, a starting material for medicine and foodstuff or a surfactant.

Abstract: An air bag against side collision, wherein two faces of mutually opposed peripheral wall portions having a substantially rectangular shape are connected by tethers in a strip or band-like shape whereby a distance of separation between the side wall portions in expanding the air bag is restricted. The expanded shape of the air bag is a substantially rectangular plate having four edges. An inner location near a rear edge accommodates an inflator supplying gas for expansion. Two side edges extend substantially parallel with each other from opposite ends of the rear edge and a front edge In a folded state, the front edge side of the air bag is cactus-folded such that the front edge side enters the inner side of the rear edge side of the air bag and approaches the rear edge. Tethers are connected respectively to the peripheral wall portions with a width dimension parallel with folds where the front edge side of the air bag is drawn in.

Abstract: A collision detection system utilizing a set of primary sensors and a secondary sensor. When a sufficient collision load is applied to the sensors, the sensors output a signal. The primary sensors are constructed to be more sensitive than the secondary sensor. Based on the outputs of the primary and secondary sensors, a control unit detects the collision. Upon detecting the collision, the control unit outputs a collision detection signal which activates a protection device, such as an air bag.

Abstract: A control cable adjusting arrangement for a gear shift locking arrangement includes a holder portion which accepts an inner cable of a control cable in one end thereof. An outer cable encasing the inner cable is retained by a bracket. The other end of the holder accepts an end of a control rod associated with a gear shift lever. Disposed around the holder is a slider portion movable between a locked and unlocked position determined between two stopper flanges formed on the outer circumference of the holder. The holder and slider are made of an elastic material such as rubber and an end of the holder which accepts the end of the control rod has a flared outer circumference.

Abstract: A control cable having an inner cable and a conduit for slidably guiding the inner cable. The inner cable has a core made of twisted wires and a cover provided on the core. The conduit has a tubular liner, a shield layer made of wires closely arranged around the liner, a taping helically wound on the shield layer with remaining a helical gap, a filler member inserted in the gap, and an outer coat provided on the taping and the filler member. The control cable is flexible and soft and has high load efficiency and high stroke efficiency.

Abstract: An anchoring and adjusting assembly for a control cable comprising a slider having a tubular shape, an end to be fixed to a conduit of the control cable, having an inner space through which an inner cable of the control cable is inserted and a set of ratchet teeth on an outer surface thereof, a holder having a fixing portion and a body formed with a through hole for supporting the slider for an axial sliding movement, a leaf spring having a cylinder-like shape with C-shaped cross section, and an engaging claw attached to the inside surface of the leaf spring and having a claw portion to be engaged with the set of ratchet teeth of the slider. The body of the holder has a cylindrical holding portion for supporting the leaf spring therearound and a hollow space to contain the engaging claw member at a bottom portion thereof.
