Abstract: Provided is a technology for efficiently arranging equipment. A method of arranging equipment in a plant for processing a fluid includes: calculating a risk; obtained by multiplying a probability that flowing-out of a fluid requiring use of the equipment occurs by an impact degree of the flowing-out of the fluid; setting a distance of a range in which the equipment is arrangeable so that, when the calculated risks of a plurality of devices are compared with each other, the range in which the equipment is arrangeable is shorter for a device for which the risk is high, and the range is longer for a device for which the risk is low; and then determining a position to arrange the equipment based on positions at which the plurality of devices are arranged in the plant, and on the distance of the range in which the equipment is arrangeable.

Abstract: A portable device executes wireless communication with an in-vehicle device in a vehicle to thereby permit the in-vehicle device to perform control relating to locking or unlocking of a door in the vehicle. The portable device includes a circuit board on which a function for executing control is mounted, a housing, and a side cover. The housing is achieved by combining an upper case and a lower case configured to separate in an up and down direction that is a direction orthogonal to the circuit board. The side cover is attached to a side surface on an outside of the housing to bring the upper case and the lower case into close contact with each other.

Abstract: In DN-DISC1 mice, a mouse model for major mental illnesses, the model that expresses pathological phenotypes relevant to schizophrenia, mood disorders, and addiction simultaneously, the inventors of the present invention found pronounced levels of oxidative stress in the prefrontal cortex, but not in the striatum. These mice also displayed greater amounts of GAPDH-Siah1 binding, a protein-protein interaction that is activated under exposure to oxidative stress. The present inventors investigated the role of oxidative stress in other organ systems. As detailed herein, the inventors found that GAPDH-Siah1 binding was increased in mouse models of cardiac failure. It was also found, that certain novel analogs of deprenyl, significantly inhibited GAPDH-Siah1 binding in cardiac tissue.

Abstract: In a portable wireless key, decoration fitting portions provided at ends of a pair of side portions of a metal decoration member are fitted in decoration receiving portions of a wireless key body, and a decoration engaging portion provided at a connecting portion of the metal decoration member is engaged with a decoration engagement portion of the wireless key body. Further, a switch operation cover is fixed to an assembled unit of the wireless key body and the metal decoration member. Thus, durability in dropping can be improved without complicating an assembling work of the metal decoration member and without increasing the number of components and costs, and it is easy to address switch variations without increasing initial costs.

Abstract: Provided is a portable wireless key that performs a control pertaining to locking and unlocking of a vehicle door lock according to a pressing operation of a movable projection of a push switch and is capable of improving an operational feeling at a low cost. A hard deformable cover is disposed between an operation portion of a switch operation cover and the movable projection of the push switch. The switch operation cover is deformed to be depressed according to a user's pressing operation, and deformed to be restored to an original position when the user's pressing operation is released. Since the hard deformable cover is deformed to press the movable projection with a depressing deformation of the operation portion by the user's pressing operation, the operational feeling of the movable projection can be improved at a low cost.
