Abstract: A seat comprises a seat cushion pad (20) including an air flow passage (21), and a blower connected to the air flow passage (21). The seat cushion pad (20) comprises a pad body (100), and a cover member (200) disposed on an upper surface of the pad body (100) to form the air flow passage (21) between the pad body (100) and the cover member (200). The cover member (200) comprises a first cover member (210) disposed on the upper surface of the pad body (100), and a second cover member (220) disposed on an upper surface of the first cover member (210). The first cover member (210) is fixed to the pad body (100), and the second cover member (220) is fixed to the first cover member (210) and to the pad body (100).

Abstract: Antigen non-specific human glycosylation inhibiting factor derivatives having the inmunosuppressive activity in which a mutation was introduced for replacement, deletion and/or insertion of a part of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:21, and/or which has received a chemical modification of one or more amino acid residue(s) in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:21, wherein the mutation and the chemical modification attenuate the strength of an intermolecular association in the region, which participates in trimerization, of an antigen non-specific human glycosylation inhibiting factor having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:21; DNAs containing a base sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of the antigen non-specific human glycosylation inhibiting factor derivative; recombinant vectors containing the DNAs; prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells transformed with the DNAs; methods of producing the antigen non-specific human glycosylation inhibiting factor derivatives; pharmaceutical compositions comprising t

Abstract: A chip type of noise suppressing filter consists of an almost rectangular solid shaped ferrite core in which a magnetic field is induced, two penetration holes penetrating into a central portion of the ferrite core from a front side thereof to a back side thereof, and a metallic terminal formed of a metallic plate in which an electric current flows across the magnetic field induced in the ferrite core. The metallic terminal consists of two internal terminals inserted into the penetration holes, and two external terminals forcibly fitted on end surfaces of the ferrite core. The internal terminals is connected with each other at the back side of the ferrite core, and the external terminals being connected with the internal terminals at the front side of the ferrite core. Therefore, the electric current flows through one of the external terminals, one of the internal terminals, the other internal terminal, and the other external terminal, in that order.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a video tape recorder to record a new video signal successively to an old video signal prerecorded on a magnetic tape for editing a magnetic recording in such a manner that, when played back, no picture disturbance is produced at the edited transition of the tape. An end part of the tape bearing recorded information is rewound upon completion of recording thereof. Prior to the recording of a new video signal, the rewound part of the tape is played back to pick up control signals therefrom and the phase of the latter is compared with that of vertical synchronizing signals contained in the new video signal. Upon coincidence of these phases with each other, the operational mode of the video tape recorder is switched from playback to recording and actual recording of the new video signal is commenced. When the magnetic tape thus edited is played back, no picture disturbance results at the edited transition of the tape and desirable pictures can be obtained.
