Abstract: An electrically driven vehicle includes a floor panel, a tunnel section, an electrical storage device, and an electric power line. The tunnel section is formed in a vehicle forward/rearward direction in a central portion of the floor panel in a vehicle width direction. The electrical storage device is disposed behind the tunnel section of the vehicle above the floor panel. The electric power line is disposed below the tunnel section and connected to the electrical storage device. The tunnel section has an opening portion formed in a rear end portion of the tunnel section located in front of the electrical storage device of the vehicle and through which the electric power line is inserted.

Abstract: A process for producing lactoperoxidase, including: a step (1) for bringing one or more milk materials into contact with a cation exchanger having weakly acidic groups as ion exchange groups to thereby effect adsorption treatment; a step (2) for washing the cation exchanger after the adsorption treatment; a step (3) for bringing the cation exchanger after the washing into contact with a leaching solvent to thereby obtain a leaching solution having lactoperoxidase eluted into the leaching solvent; a step (4) for concentrating the leaching solution through an ultrafiltration membrane to thereby effect precipitation in the concentrated leaching solution; and a step (5) for obtaining a lactoperoxidase solution by removing the precipitation from the concentrated leaching solution.

Abstract: A seamless pipe copper alloy includes Zr and at least one of Al, Sn, and Zn, with the balance being Cu and unavoidable impurities, the Al content, the Sn content, the Zn content, and the Zr content of the copper alloy satisfying the expressions 0.05?A+B+C, 0.01?D?0.5, and 0.25?A+B+C+D?0.8 (wherein A represents the Al content (mass %), B represents the Sn content (mass %), C represents the Zn content (mass %), and D represents the Zr content (mass %)). The seamless pipe copper alloy exhibits excellent workability, high strength, and high thermal conductivity. The seamless pipe copper alloy also shows only a small decrease in strength due to brazing.

Abstract: The slagging combustion furnace (10) of the present invention includes a combustion chamber (11, 12, 13) for combusting a combustible gas containing ash and melting the ash, and a slag discharge port (17) for discharging molten slag (20) produced by melting the ash. The slag discharge port (17) is formed by refractory material which is replaceable.

Abstract: An apparatus for heat-sterilizing contact lenses, particularly soft lenses includes a housing having a sterilizing chamber, a heater for heating the sterilizing chamber, and a temperature sensor adapted to detect the temperature of the sterilizing chamber. The temperature sensor comprises a flexible sensor container, a material sealed into the sensor container, and a sealing end portion. The material sealed in the container has a melting point or liquefaction point corresponding to the temperature in a zone surrounding the sterilizing chamber. The sealing end portion has a mechanism for interrupting heating when the detected temperature reaches a predetermined level.

Abstract: A cement composition is provided which comprises a cement, and 0.1 to 2.5% by weight, based on the weight of said cement, of a dextrin having a cold-water solubility of from 10 to 80% by weight. The cement composition of the invention suppresses heat of hydration, so that the cement mortar or concrete do not crack due to the heat of hydration.
