Abstract: Interaction with a protein is detected by using an RNA probe containing the following sequences; (i) a complementary strand sequence to a DNA barcode sequence, (ii) a sequence of a first stem portion, (iii) a sequence of a second stem portion complementary to the first stem portion for hybridizing with the first stem portion to form a double-stranded stem, and (iv) a sequence of a loop portion contained in RNA for linking the first and second stem portions.

Abstract: A device for transmitting rotational power from a rotational power source to a driven device having a drive shaft includes at least one elastic connecting member defining outer and inner peripheral surfaces. First and second holder members radially cooperate with each other to circumferentially hold the at least one elastic connecting member during normal operation to transmit the rotation, and are disconnected by the deformation of the at least one elastic connecting member when the torque on the drive shaft exceeds a predetermined cutoff torque level. A weakened portion is provided at least one of the first and second holder members. The weakened portion aids the deformation of at least one of the first and second holder members to reduce a torsional spring coefficient which is defined by the ratio of the relative rotational angle between the first and second holder member to the torque on the drive shaft.

Abstract: A variable capacity type swash plate compressor has a shaft, a swash plate, pistons functionally connected with the swash plate, and a detector for detecting the reciprocating stroke of the piston. The reciprocating stroke of the piston is varied in accordance with an inclining angle of the swash plate in such a manner that a top dead point of the piston at a working chamber defined at one end of the piston is substantially constant. The detector detects the change of the width of the reciprocating stroke of the piston and calculating the capacity of the compressor. The detector employs a plurality of magnets provided on a center portion of the piston and an electromagnetic sensor provided on a cylinder block for facing to the magnets.
