Abstract: The present invention comprises a compound for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiovascular diseases, nephropathy, fibrosis, primary aldosteronism or edema. The compound is of the following general formula (I): wherein R1 represents a C1-C3 alkyl group; R2 represents a hydroxy-C1-C4 alkyl group and the like; R3 represents a halogeno group, a halogeno-C1-C3 alkyl group and the like; R4 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogeno group and the like, —R5 represents a sulfamoyl group or a C1-C3 alkylsulfonyl group; R6 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogeno group and the like] or an N-oxide, atropisomer of the foregoing, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the foregoing.

Abstract: A network system including: a terminal unit; one or more recording devices; a service server; and a controller is disclosed. The controller includes: a resource status acquiring unit that, upon receiving a resource status acquisition request to request acquisition of information on resource status of the one or more recording devices, the resource status acquisition request being transmitted from the service server that received the remote recording reservation request from the terminal unit, transmits a resource status acquisition instruction to the one or more recording devices via the local area network and receives a result of determination on remote recording reservation depending on the resource status, as the resource status information, from the one or more recording devices.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a compound for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The compound is an atropisomer of a compound represented by the following general formula (I): wherein R1 represents a C1-C3 alkyl group; R2 represents a 2-hydroxy-C4-C6 alkyl group; R3 represents a halogeno group, a halogeno-C1-C3 alkyl group and the like; R4 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogeno group and the like; R5 represents a C1-C3 alkyl group; and R6 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogeno group and the like] or atropisomers thereof.

Abstract: A network system includes a terminal apparatus, a recording apparatus, and a network. The recording apparatus includes a record-scheduling-state storing section that stores data of a record scheduling state of a program and a record-scheduling-state providing section that transmits the data of the record scheduling state stored in the record-scheduling-state storing section through the network.

Abstract: Disclosed is a content reception apparatus capable of receiving a content distributed from a server apparatus via a first network and a second network, the content reception apparatus including a plurality of content reception apparatuses capable of being connected to the second network that is local and connected to the first network, the server apparatus being capable of distributing a content and capable of being connected to the first network. The content reception apparatus includes an arbitration condition storage unit to store an arbitration condition for an arbitration, an arbitration table storage unit to store an arbitration table, an input unit with which a content reception request is input, an arbitration start request transmission unit to generate and transmit an arbitration start request, and an arbitration unit to execute arbitration processings.

Abstract: There are provided an image reading apparatus capable of turning on the light source of a display such as an LCD during an image reading operation even when the apparatus operates upon power supply from an external apparatus via a USB bus, and a power control method applied to the apparatus. For example, in the apparatus which is driven upon reception of power supply from the external apparatus, and includes a CIS for reading an original image by intermittently emitting light from an LED, and an LCD with a backlight for displaying information on reading, it is controlled to prevent the ON period of the light source and that of the backlight from overlapping each other during an image reading operation.
