Abstract: A drawer-type washing machine and process of washing laundry using the washing machine is disclosed. The washing machine has a housing opened at its front to form a cavity. A cabinet, opened at its top, is received in the cavity of the housing such that the cabinet is movable forward or backward relative to the housing. A washing tub unit, consisting of an outer tub and an inner tub, is set within the cabinet. This washing tub unit contains washing water therein, and carries out both a washing operation and a spin-drying operation for laundry contained therein. A drive unit is installed at a position under the outer tub of the washing tub unit, and rotates the inner tub of the washing tub unit. A suspension unit supports the washing tub unit within the cabinet while performing a damping function of attenuating operational vibrations of the washing tub unit.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds that inhibit the microbial NAD synthetase enzyme. For example, disclosed are compounds of the formula Ar1—X—Ar2—Y—L—Z—Q, wherein Q is Q1Ar3 or Ar3Q1; Ar1, Ar2, and Ar3 are independently aryl or heteroaryl, optionally substituted with one or more substituents; X, Y, and Z are independently selected from the group consisting of a covalent bond or groups containing one or more of C, H, N, O, S atoms; L is a linker and Q1 is an alkylenyl, alkylenyl carbonyloxy alkyl, or alkylenyl carbonylamino alkyl group, optionally having a substituent; a covalent bond; a group containing amidine or guanidine function wherein the amidine or guanidine may be optionally N-substituted with an alkyl; or a zwitterion; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds having the formula I: X is (C1-C8)alkylene, (C2-C8)alkenylene, (C2-C8)alkynylene, wherein one of the carbon atoms in the alkylene, alkenylene or alkynylene groups is optionally replaced with a group having the formula —O—, —N(R4)C(O)—, —OC(O—, S—, —S(O)—or —SO2—, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds having the formula I. The compounds of the invention are selective antagonists of A2B adenosine receptors (ARs). These compounds and compositions are useful as pharmaceutical agents for treatment of diseases that are mediated by A2B adenosine receptors.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a solid electrolytic capacitor using a functional polymer composition. The method comprises immersing the rolled aluminum electrolytic capacitor device in polyaniline solution with high electric conductivity to impregnate the device with polyaniline, drying the impregnated device in a drying oven which is maintained at constant temperature to fully remove the solvent, inserting the dried device to a capacitor aluminum can and then sealing with epoxy resin, to manufacture a solid electrolytic capacitor using a functional polymer. As such, the impregnation can be performed well at not only normal temperature and pressure, but also high temperature and reduced pressure. The solid electrolytic capacitor has the advantages of high capacity, low impedance and low ESR, and also, low manufacturing cost, simple processes and high reliability.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a drawer-type washing machine and a locking method thereof. The washing machine comprises: a housing having one open side and partitioned into a plurality of compartments; cabinets which can be drawn out forward through the open side of said housing, each of said cabinets being positioned in each of said compartments; washing baths for washing the laundry, each of said washing baths being positioned within each of said cabinets; and locking means provided between said housing and said cabinets for restraining said cabinet from being drawn out forward from said housing, in which the cabinets are automatically drawn out by only operating a switch installed in an outside wall of the housing. It is prevented that the washing machine falls down as all of the cabinets are drawn out biasing the center of gravity forward.
