Abstract: A vehicle power supply system includes a power source control device that executes a process of switching a connection state of a driving circuit to the main power source and an auxiliary power source including; a process of switching the connection state so as to transition to a backup state as a voltage decrease of the main power source occurs, and a process of switching the connection state so as to transition to a normal state as the voltage decrease of the main power source is resolved. After a voltage decrease of the main power source occurs, a turning-side control device of a steering control unit sets an output-limited state for a turning-side motor. The output-limited state is canceled upon the power source control device completing switching of the connection state so as to transition.

At the first position, the rotating member moves the monochrome developing device to the separated position, via the monochrome operating member, and the color developing device to the separated position, via the color operating member. At the second position, the rotating member moves the monochrome developing device to the contacting position, via the monochrome operating member, and the color developing device to the contacting position, via the color operating member. At the third position, the rotating member moves the monochrome developing device to the contacting position, via the monochrome operating member, and the color developing device to the separated position, via the color operating member.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting a risk of developing cancer. DNA samples were prepared from blood and cancer tissues of 2480 cancer patients and analyzed for the nucleotide sequences of exon regions using NGS. As a result, among the cancer patients, 7 patients were confirmed to have D49H mutation or A159D mutation which is a germ cell mutation.

Abstract: To regulate, in blow molding device using liquid, such as beverage, cosmetic product, and pharmaceutical product, filled in final product as pressurized liquid, head space in container which is filled with content liquid during molding to be predetermined volume, provided is blow molding device including blow nozzle configured to tightly communicate with mouth tubular portion of preform. In state where rod is disposed to be inserted into blow nozzle and where tip portion of rod is inserted into preform, pressurized liquid is supplied into preform via tubular introduction path formed by blow nozzle and rod, thereby expandingly shaping container in accordance with cavity of metal mold. When container is shaped and supply of pressurized liquid is stopped, rod is disinserted from container, and according to shape and insert position of tip portion of rod, head space of shaped container that is filled with liquid is regulated to be predetermined volume.

Abstract: A fastening structure includes a bolt, a nut screwed onto the bolt to fasten a target part, and a washer sandwiched between the target part and the nut. The washer is formed in a disk shape having a hole in which the bolt is inserted. The nut has a main body formed in a hexagonal pillar shape having a hole in which the bolt is inserted and a disk portion extending from an axial end of the main body. Protrusions are circumferentially distributed on a face of the disk portion, the face being on the side opposite the main body. The protrusions bite into a nut-side face of the washer to form meshed portions by screwing together the bolt and the nut.
