Abstract: A tracheal connector is connected to a respiratory gas generator and a tracheal tube. The tracheal connector includes a tracheal connector body connected to the tracheal tube, a connector tube connected to the tracheal connector body and the respiratory gas generator, and a restriction mechanism configured to narrow a respiratory gas flow path configured to allow the respiratory gas to flow therein. The tracheal connector body includes a tracheal port connected to the tracheal tube, an exhaust port facing the tracheal port and configured to discharge at least expired air of the subject, and a respiratory port connected to the connector tube. The restriction mechanism is provided on the respiratory gas flow path between the respiratory port and the tracheal port.

Abstract: A gas analysis system includes a gas analyzer which analyzes a gas acquired from a living body and a liquid separator which is detachably attached to the gas analyzer, and which separates a liquid component from the gas. In the gas analysis system, the liquid separator includes a magnet, and the gas analyzer includes a magnetic sensor which detects magnetism generated by the magnet, and a determining section which, based on the magnetism detected by the magnetic sensor, determines that the liquid separator is attached to the gas analyzer.

Abstract: A lock device for locking an on-vehicle apparatus in a case built in a vehicle frame comprises an electrical actuator for releasing a locked state upon application of electric power thereto, and a unit for regulating an electric power application time period to drive the electrical actuator for a predetermined time period after an engine switch is turned off.

Abstract: A volume control apparatus for use in an acoustic apparatus with a sound signal source and an amplifier which is usable as an alarm or warning apparatus. The volume control apparatus is provided with a motor for operating a volume control variable resistor, a manually operatable presetting variable resistor and first, second and third selectively operable manual switching means. Upon each power supply, the volume control variable resistor is always automatically set by the motor to a position corresponding to a preset position of the presetting variable resistor regardless of its position prior to the power supply.By selectively operating the first and second switching means at a desired moment after the power supply, the volume control variable resistor is set by the motor from the position corresponding to the preset position of the presetting variable resistor to a desired position regardless of its previous position.
