Abstract: A semiconductor device is configured to increase energy absorbed by an active clamp. The semiconductor device comprises a semiconductor element, a sealing resin, and a coating member. The semiconductor element includes a first electrode. The sealing resin covers the semiconductor element. The coating member is interposed between the first electrode and the sealing resin. The coating member contains a material with higher thermal conductivity than the sealing resin.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes: a semiconductor region of a first conductivity type having a main surface; a capacitor region of a second conductivity type formed in a surface layer portion of the main surface; and at least one trench structure including a trench formed in the main surface to penetrate the capacitor region, an insulating film covering a wall surface of the trench, and embedded electrodes embedded in the trench so as to form capacitive coupling with the capacitor region through the insulating film.

Abstract: There is provided a convenient and inexpensive method of producing a compound which has a high activity of inhibiting replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and is useful for preventing and treating a liver disease caused by HCV infection.

Abstract: A lip ring is attached to a piston so as to be rotatable relative to the piston in a circumferential direction, and a seal portion is provided between a ring attachment groove of the piston and an attachment portion of the lip ring. During a suction stroke, the lip ring can be rotated in a circumferential direction of the piston, thus distributing wear around the entire periphery of a lip portion of the lip ring. During a compression stroke, leakage of air from a compression chamber can be prevented by means of the seal portion provided between the ring attachment groove and the lip ring.

Abstract: A sintered oil retaining bearing has a bearing bore through which a rotary shaft is inserted formed at a bearing main unit made of a porous sintered alloy. The inner circumferential wall serving as the bearing bore includes a center inner circumferential wall located at the center region of the inner circumferential wall, and one end side inner circumferential wall and other end side inner circumferential wall, located at one end side and the other end side, respectively, of the center inner circumferential wall in the direction of the rotary shaft. The center inner circumferential wall has a blinded portion where the air permeability is not more than 0.3×10−3 darcy, and air permeability lower than that of the one end side and other end side inner circumferential wall.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing 1.alpha.-hydroxydehydroepiandrosterone by fermenting or reacting dehydroepiandrosterone or a derivative thereof with microorganisms of the species Penicillium oxalicum or Aspergillus terreus or mycelium or extracts therefrom obtained when the microorganisms are in a stationary phase of growth. The invention process produces steroid compounds which are pharmacologically valuable substances.

Abstract: Extension control system for jacking device for traveling loading machines such as truck crane for jacking up during the loading operation, keeping the machine in the horizontal position, which comprises at least four oil hydraulic jacks for supporting the traveling loading machine, means for supplying pressure oil to the hydraulic cylinder of each jack, means for sensing level of the traveling loading machine, and a stroke-end sensing device provided for each jack operative to generate a signal when the jack extends to the stroke-end. The system is so arranged that the conduit for supplying the pressure oil to the cylinder for the jack in higher side is shut-off, when the machine tilts and the means for sensing the lift of the machine is actuated, and further the extension of all jacks is stopped, when at least one of the stroke-end sensing device is actuated.
