Abstract: One solid preparation of the present invention mainly includes silicon fine particles, and has a capability of generating hydrogen. In addition, one specific example of the solid preparation mainly includes silicon fine particles having a crystallite diameter principally of 1 nm or more and 100 nm or less, and exhibits a capability of generating hydrogen in an amount of 3 ml/g or more when brought into contact with a water-containing liquid having a pH value of 7 or more. In this solid preparation, hydrogen is generated when the silicon fine particles are brought into contact with a water-containing liquid having a pH value of 7 or more. Therefore, taking advantage of the characteristics of the solid preparation, generation of hydrogen is promoted in, for example, a gastrointestinal tract where the pH value is 7 or more due to secretion of pancreatic fluid after passage through the stomach after oral ingestion.

Abstract: A power transmitting apparatus inputs or cuts off rotational power of an input member (1) to an output member (3) by press-contacting a plurality of driving-side clutch discs (6) and a plurality of driven-side clutch discs (7) with each other or releases them. A clutch housing (2) includes the driving-side clutch discs (6). A clutch member is (4) connected to the output member (3). A pressure member (5) press-contacts the discs (6) and discs (7) with each other or releases the press-contacting force between them. Application of a resisting force, for resisting relative rotation between the clutch member (4) and the pressure member (5), can be attained. A magnitude of the resisting force is set larger than a sticking torque between the discs (6) and discs (7).

Abstract: A problem of the present invention is to obtain a preparation which shows markedly enhanced effectiveness and safety by exhibiting high accumulability at diseased areas and having the blood concentration maintained at a constant level without individual differences, and for which the control of the dosage depending on the blood kinetics (blood trough concentration) becomes unnecessary. The invention relates to a polymeric derivative of tacrolimus including a copolymer of a polyethylene glycol segment and a polymeric moiety, in which a carboxy group in a side chain of the copolymer is bonded to an alcoholic hydroxy group of tacrolimus.

Abstract: A deflector apparatus includes a first locking portion for attaching a mesh type deflector, which reduces noise due to wind at an opening portion, to a drain member for suppressing infiltration of a fluid from the opening portion opened by a movable panel into a room; and a second locking portion formed in the deflector, in which the deflector is attached to the drain member by locking the second locking portion to the first locking portion.

Abstract: A connection section 112 is connected to a client apparatus through a network. A service providing unit provides a service of reception/distribution of a digital broadcast in accordance with a service providing request supplied from the client apparatus. A client information storage section 116 stores therein information associated with the client apparatus connected to the connection section 112. When the service providing request is supplied from a second client apparatus while the service providing unit provides an exclusive service to a first client apparatus, a client information presentation section 110 presents information associated with at least one client apparatus to the other client apparatus. An arbitration section 114 causes at least one of the first client apparatus and the second client apparatus to select whether or not to stop the service for the first client apparatus and to start the provision of the service to the second client apparatus.

Abstract: Gas is properly fed into a head facing portion while upsizing of an inflator is prevented. Throttle portions are provided for coupling between a frontal side and a backside of an airbag between a neck portion and a head facing portion. Seams are formed as contours of the throttle portions positioned outermost the airbag in a width direction. The seams are parallel to side edge portions, of the airbag positioned outside the seams in the width direction. Seams are formed as contours opposed to the throttle portions arranged adjacent to each other. The seams are approximately parallel to each other.

Abstract: Control for airbag deployment and/or the like is facilitated in a simple configuration. An airbag includes upper vent holes and lower vent holes. The upper vent holes are placed upward of the head facing portion and are open to an occupant side. The lower vent holes are placed downward of the upper vent holes and are open to the opposite side from an occupant.

Abstract: A deflector apparatus includes a first locking portion for attaching a mesh type deflector, which reduces noise due to wind at an opening portion, to a drain member for suppressing infiltration of a fluid from the opening portion opened by a movable panel into a room; and a second locking portion formed in the deflector, in which the deflector is attached to the drain member by locking the second locking portion to the first locking portion.

Abstract: An operation button carries out an operation of an electronic apparatus through a key input. A touch panel is a display area of the electronic apparatus and carries out an operation of the electronic apparatus through a touch operation. A display controlling unit displays, in response to the operation of at least one of the operation button and the touch panel, a menu including at least one choice relating to the operation of the electronic apparatus on a display device. Here, the display controlling unit displays a menu to be displayed in response to the operation of the operation button and a menu to be displayed in response to the operation of the touch panel such that the menus include at least one common choice and besides the common choice is disposed in layouts different from each other.

Abstract: A guide block has a guide projection wall and a guide upper wall. The guide projection wall deviates from an end of a side-held portion in the folded-back state toward the start point of folding-back while moving toward a winding shaft along the longitudinal direction of a guide rail. The guide upper wall deviates in the direction orthogonal to a plane in which a shading sheet is unrolled and toward the shading sheet and abuts on the side-held portion being unfolded while moving toward the winding shaft along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail.

Abstract: A stereoscopic image inspection device configured to determine that a stereoscopic image or part of the stereoscopic image is horizontally reversed is provided. A depth obtaining unit obtains depth information of the stereoscopic image. An occlusion detection unit detects an occlusion area of the stereoscopic image. A determination unit evaluates image continuity between the occlusion area and adjacent areas adjacent to the occlusion area, and identifies a first area to which the occlusion area belongs among the adjacent areas based on the evaluated image continuity, and determines whether or not the stereoscopic image has a depth contradiction based on a depth position of the first area included in the depth information.
