Abstract: A composite cable is composed of a power supply wire, which includes a twisted wire pair aggregate, which are being formed by laying a plurality of twisted wire pairs together, a plurality of coaxial wires, and a plurality of signal wires, which are each smaller in outer diameter than the power supply wire and the plurality of coaxial wires. The plurality of coaxial wires and the plurality of signal wires are being laid helically over an outer periphery of the power supply wire, and each of the plurality of coaxial wires is being arranged in contact with an outer periphery of the power supply wire, and is being arranged at equally spaced intervals in a circumferential direction of the power supply wire, while each of the plurality of signal wires is being arranged in such a manner as to remain separate from the power supply wire.

Abstract: A movable part composite cable includes a plurality of power supply wires being designed for electric power supply, which respectively include a plurality of insulated electric wires being laid together and being covered by each covering member, the plurality of power supply wires being arranged in contact with each other on surfaces of their respective covering members, one or more signal wires being designed for signal transmission, each signal wire having an outer diameter smaller than an outer diameter of each power supply wire, and a jacket, which is being provided over an outer periphery of an aggregate including the plurality of power supply wires and the one or more signal wires that are laid together. The power supply wires and the signal wires are not in direct contact with each other, or the power supply wires and the signal wires are in direct contact with each other with a contact area therebetween being smaller than a contact area between the power supply wires.

Abstract: A differential signal cable for transmitting high-speed digital differential signals of several Gbit/s or more is provided to minimize characteristic impedance mismatch and to repress increase in the skew, or increase in disturbance due to differential-mode to common-mode conversion. A differential signal cable comprises two insulated wires arranged parallelly in a contact, each of said two insulated wires comprising a conductor and an insulator jacketing the conductor; a fusion layer provided on the surface of each of said two insulated wires; a drain wire placed longitudinally in a recess created in the interstice between said two insulated wires; and a shield tape lapping around said two insulated wires and said drain wire together, wherein a surface of said insulator of each of said two insulated wires is partially deformed so as to have a flat portion and said two insulated wires are fused each other at said flat portions.

Abstract: This invention relates to a composition that can inhibit the elevation of blood pressure, does not generate any side effects, and can be safely used. Particularly, this invention relates to food or a pharmaceutical composition for preventing hypertension that can inhibit the elevation of blood pressure via the long-term oral ingestion thereof and comprises at least one member selected from among acetic acid, acetate ion, and acetate.

Abstract: A twisted flat cable is provided which includes parallel fused portions and twisted pair portions alternating with the parallel fused portions. TPO (thermoplastic olefin) is used as an insulating material for an insulative layer that covers conductors to provide separately insulated conductors constituting the parallel fused portions and the twisted pair portions in the twisted flat cable. By virtue of this construction, the twisted flat cable has excellent transmission characteristics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel clinical examination method which comprises analyzing the alteration in the amount of a specific component in oligosaccharides of immunogloblin G. Human diseases such as liver diseases, malignant hypertension, immunogloblin A-nephropathy, pediatric disorders, etc., are examined in terms of the alteration in bisecting N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharides in immunogloblin G from collected humor. The present invention provides highly accurate information in a manner applicable to practical operation for examination of liver diseases, allergic diseases, malignant hypertension, immunogloblin A nephropathy, pediatric disorders, as well as aging-dependent variations and the therapeutic effect of interferon.

Abstract: A composite film bag 1 for packaging comprises a composite film of a water-insoluble film 2 and a water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol film 3 which are adhered to one another to such an extent that the former film 2 can easily be peeled off from the latter film 3 and which are formed into a bag so that the water-insoluble film 2 serves as an outer layer of the bag and the water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol film 3 serves as an internal layer thereof. A powdery or liquid agricultural chemical agent 6 is packed in the composite film bag 1 and the opening of the bag is sealed. Upon practical use, the outer water-insoluble film 2 is peeled off to expose the internal film 3 and the internal film 3 as such, while containing the agricultural chemical agent 6, is introduced into water. Thus, the internal film is dissolved in water and in turn the content 6 thereof is released and accordingly dissolved in water. The composite film bag 1 is not broken at all even when it is exposed to a low temperature condition.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing vinegar by acetic acid fermentation utilizing an automatic alcohol analyzer for measurement of alcohol concentration in a fermenting broth, a feeding apparatus for feeding alcohol solution as raw material to the fermenting broth, and a control computer controllably coupled to the alcohol analyzer and to the feeding apparatus.

Abstract: A method for measuring the alcohol concentration of an acetic acid fermentation broth which comprises (a) forming a sample gas containing volatile components present in the acetic acid fermentation broth, the volatile componentscomprising alcohol and acetic acid; (b) passing the sample gas through an absorption column packed with a material which binds acetic acid whereby the acetic acid is absorbed on the material; (c) passing the sample gas which has passed through the absorption column to a gas sensor for measuring the alcohol content of the gas by outputting an electrical signal which correlates to the alcohol content of the sample gas; and (d) determining the alcohol content of the sample gas in response to the electrical output signal from the gas sensor.
