Abstract: A system and a solution-preparation-determining apparatus which determines whether additional preparation of an undiluted dialysate solution is necessary.

Abstract: According to a vehicle control apparatus of the invention, at a point in time when a driving mode switching part switches driving modes from any driving mode to another driving mode, a reference energy consumption amount calculation part multiplies a reference energy consumption amount by a driving mode switching coefficient which corresponds to the switching of the driving modes, whereby a reference energy consumption amount is compressed or expanded. An energy consumption rate calculation part calculates an energy consumption rate based on a reference mileage and the reference energy consumption amount.

Abstract: This electric vehicle is provided with at least a first traveling mode and a second traveling mode for which the maximum velocity (Vmax) is set lower than for the first traveling mode. The second traveling mode is a traveling mode that prioritizes travel distance per one electric power consumption unit.

Abstract: Provided is a display device of an electric vehicle that enables an occupant of an electric vehicle to more easily realize an effect of regeneration of braking energy. This display device of the electric vehicle calculates integrated cumulative value of the actual driving distance of the electric vehicle as a first distance, calculates, upon detecting regeneration of braking energy, integrated cumulative value of a drivable distance extended by the regeneration of the braking energy as a second distance, and displays both the first distance and the second distance on a display section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fluorescence measuring apparatus having a structure enabling fluorescence measurement of a microvolume sample to be made readily in a short time. The fluorescence measuring apparatus comprises a pumping light source, a pipette device, a tip, attached to the pipette device, and a fluorescence detection system. The pipette device is arranged from a pipette and a pipette adapter having a pumping light introducing structure for introducing pumping light into an internal space, and a fluorescent sample taken in from a suction inlet is held at a front end of the tip. The pumping light from the pumping light source is irradiated onto the fluorescent sample at the front end of the tip via the internal space of the pipette adapter by means of the pumping light introducing structure, and fluorescence is emitted from the fluorescent sample. The fluorescence detection system receives at least a part of the fluorescence generated as a result of this pumping light irradiation.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus has a lead storage battery and an electric double-layer capacitor which are connected in parallel to each other, and a starter generator for being supplied with electric power discharged from the storage battery and the electric double-layer capacitor and for operating as an electric generator after an engine is started. Electric power generated by the starter generator is supplied to charge the storage battery and the electric double-layer capacitor. An IPU as a connection switching device is connected between the storage battery and the electric double-layer capacitor, and the starter generator. A line length between the electric double-layer capacitor and the starter generator is shorter than a line length between the lead storage battery and the starter generator.

Abstract: An absorbance measuring pipette includes a pipette and a pipette adapter. The pipette adapter has a pipette attachment portion for receiving the front end of the pipette and a tip attachment portion for attaching a tip and is attachable between the pipette and the tip. The pipette adapter has an inner space continuous with respective internal spaces of the pipette and tip upon attachment. The pipette adapter includes a test light introducing window for introducing a test light into the inner space from outside and a reflecting mirror for reflecting toward the sample suction port of the tip by way of an opening in the tip attachment portion the test light introduced into the inner space through the test light introducing window.

Abstract: An electric double-layer capacitor includes a plurality of electrode elements each having a current collector, a polarized electrode disposed on a surface thereof, and a strip-like current collecting lead extending from an end of the current collector. The electrode elements are stacked as alternately belonging to respective polarities, and the current collecting leads of the electrode elements are stacked into lead assemblies of the respective polarities. A separator is interposed between the stacked electrode elements, and the lead assemblies are connected respectively to electrode terminals. The lead assemblies of respective polarities serve as respective connectors connected to the electrode terminals. Each of the connectors has a flat joint region as at least a portion thereof. The current collecting leads of each of the lead assemblies are integrally joined to each other by the flat joint region by ultrasonic welding before the connector is connected to the electrode terminal.

Abstract: An electric double-layer capacitor housing has a bottomed outer case for accommodating an electric double-layer capacitor therein, a lid closing an open end of the bottomed outer case, the lid having a through hole defined therein, an electrode terminal mounted in the through hole in the lid for electrically connecting the electric double-layer capacitor in the bottomed outer case to an external circuit, and an insulative sealing member interposed between the lid and the electrode terminal and sealing the through hole.
