  • Patent number: 9506814
    Abstract: A mounting clip for a battery temperature sensor holds a temperature sensor including a sensor main body and a projection portion, and is mounted to a mounting hole of a battery case. The clip includes a holding portion allowing the temperature sensor to be internally inserted and held; a leg portion hanging from the holding portion, allowing the temperature sensor to pass through, and allowing to be inserted into the mounting hole; and an engagement portion protruding from the leg portion, to be engaged with the case when inserted into the mounting hole. In the clip, an operation portion extending from the engagement portion, and allowing an engagement of the engagement portion with the case to be released, is provided.

  • Patent number: 9261413
    Abstract: A clip includes an abutting portion abutting against an outer surface of a case; an insertion hole to which a sensor main body can be inserted; a holding tube through which the sensor main body can pass, and can internally hold an overhanging portion; a leg tube which can be inserted into an attachment hole; and elastic claws sandwiching the case between the abutting portion and the elastic claws. In the abutting portion, at least a pair of ribs is provided, which is positioned respectively in both end portions in a diametrical direction of the abutting portion; protrudes toward the outer surface of the case; and applies a force to the holding tube in a direction bending the abutting portion and narrowing an open end surface when the case is sandwiched between the pair of elastic claws and the ribs.

  • Patent number: 8850087
    Abstract: The present invention provides the function of dynamically switching the allocation of snapshot data in a pool according to the use status of the pool. More specifically, the present invention provides the function of dynamically switching a storage mode to be applied to the pool from a storage mode in which the snapshot data is aggregated in a specific pool volume to a storage mode in which the snapshot data is distributed to plural pool volumes, or from the storage mode in which the snapshot data is distributed to the plural pool volumes to the storage mode in which the snapshot data is aggregated in the specific pool volume, according to the use status of the pool.

  • Patent number: 8822688
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a compound useful as medicine having PDE4B inhibitory activity, in particular, as an active ingredient of a composition for treating or preventing schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, depression and the like. [Measures for Solution] The present inventors examined compounds having PDE4B inhibitory activity and found that a tricyclic or tetracyclic imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivative or salts thereof had a superior PDE4B inhibitory activity, thereby completing the present invention. The imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivative can be used as an agent for treating or preventing schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, depression and the like.
