  • Patent number: 11659833
    Abstract: Provided are a vehicle body assembling method and a vehicle body assembling apparatus which allow a simple configuration in the vicinity of the connecting portion between an upper jig and a lower jig and allow an increase in the efficiency of assembling work (welding work). A vehicle body assembling apparatus is equipped with a jig for supporting vehicle body components in a preassembled position, the jig comprising an upper jig and a lower jig which are connected to each other in at least two places. Each of the connection places is provided with a connecting means for fixing a three-dimensional coordinate position while allowing uniaxial turning. The vehicle body assembling apparatus is also equipped with a conveying means for conveying the upper jig which supports the vehicle body components, and reduces the load applied to the lower jig from the upper jig when connecting the upper jig to the lower jig.

  • Publication number: 20220386592
    Abstract: Provided are a cryopreservation liquid for bovine reproductive cells such as bovine sperms and a cryopreservation method thereof. Adopted is a cryopreservation liquid comprising: 0.3 to 0.9 w/w % of an amphoteric polyelectrolyte (an antifreeze polyamino acid), which is ?-poly-L-lysine having a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 20,000 wherein 50 to 99 mol % of amino groups of the ?-poly-L-lysine are blocked as carboxylated by having been reacted with the succinic anhydride; and 2 to 4 w/w % of glycerol, as dissolved in a physiological solution. A preferred embodiment of the cryopreservation method comprises steps of: primary diluting, in which bovine semen is diluted to 2.5 to 10 times with a physiological solution and kept at 2 to 8° C.; and secondary diluting, in which the bovine semen is diluted to 5 to 20 times while being kept at 2 to 8° C.
