A self-powered, personally wearable air purifier includes a sequence of packed bed filter media packets having filter media therein of specifically targeted types that will absorb those ambient air pollutants that have been identified as being particularly dangerous to human health. A HEPA filter is included for the removal of particulate matter that will have adhered thereto many of such pollutants. Media types can be selected to meet different environmental circumstances, including normal highway or city center air, or terrorist attacks of chemical, biological or “dirty bomb” types as on a battlefield or similar environments. Shoulder straps and a chest strap are provided for wearing the apparatus on a user's back, or other means such as a shoulder pouch can also be employed. Emergency substitution of filter media using thermal insulation from the clothing of the user is available upon depletion of the normal media material.

An electrically actuated brake booster capable of obtaining a desired boost ratio for a given input pressure when an electric actuator is activated as a boost source, so as to ensure a desired operability of a brake pedal. The electrically actuated brake booster comprises: an input piston 22 to which an input thrust is applied through an input rod 9 that moves in coordination with operation of a brake pedal 8; and a booster piston 21 to which a booster thrust is applied by an electric actuator 40 that uses an electric motor 41 as a drive source, such that the input piston 22 and the booster piston 21 are disposed to be movable relative to each other but are normally maintained in a neutral position of relative displacement by means of springs 34. While an amount of relative displacement between the pistons 21 and 22 is determined by the potentiometer 45, the electric motor 41 is controlled to adjust the amount of relative displacement to a predetermined value. At the same time, a reaction force acting on the input piston 22 resulting from a hydraulic brake pressure is offset by urging forces of the springs 34 to thereby obtain a desired level of boost ratio.

A camera, comprising: a camera main body; a first monitor which is openable and closable on the camera main body; and a second monitor which is openable and closable on the camera main body; wherein the first monitor and the second monitor are configured so that the second monitor is closed when the first monitor is opened, and the first monitor is closed when the second monitor is opened.

Provided is a slide fastener that is capable of maintaining the operability of a slider while improving the engagement strength of a fastener element. The present invention comprises a pair of fastener tapes (20), a pair of cores (20a) that are respectively disposed along opposing tape side edges of the pair of fastener tapes (20), and a pair of fastener element rows (30) that are respectively attached to the pair of cores (20a) and include a plurality of metallic fastener elements (31). Silica (S) is adhered to surfaces of the cores (20a) and the fastener elements (31).

A variable-capacity exhaust turbocharger is provided which is equipped with a variable-nozzle mechanism having a lever plate and a peripheral structure capable of ensuring regular operability of a nozzle vane and of preventing an occurrence of local excessive stress by increasing rigidity of the lever plate without increasing a thickness of the lever plate. In a variable-capacity exhaust turbocharger equipped with a variable-nozzle mechanism including: a plurality of nozzle vanes; an annular drive ring; and a lever plate provided as many as the number of the nozzle vanes so that one end is connected to an engagement pin portion engaging with a groove portion formed in the drive ring and the other end is fixed to each nozzle vane, the drive ring is disposed between the lever plate and a nozzle mount in an axial direction, and the lever plate is curved in an axial direction from a surface of the lever plate connected to the fixed portion on the side of the nozzle vane so as to be connected to the groove portion of the drive ring.

A dual mass flywheel includes: a primary flywheel having a ring gear and connected to an output shaft of an engine; a secondary flywheel connected to an input shaft of a transmission; a coupling unit for coupling the primary flywheel and the secondary flywheel; a plurality of drive units coupled to the primary flywheel and the secondary flywheel and in which spring guides are coupled to opposite sides of a torsion spring to dampen noise and vibrations while a torque of the primary flywheel is transferred to the secondary flywheel, a unit groove formed in the primary flywheel to accommodate the drive units; separation prevention bosses formed above and below a center line of the unit groove and having an operation slot therebetween to prevent deviation of the drive units; and driving pins protruding from a bottom surface of the secondary flywheel to compress and damp the drive units, wherein a linear spring and a curved spring of a torsion spring are combined between an end guide and a middle guide or between the middle guides to prevent a contacting point thereof from being pushed to the outside by a centrifugal force when the drive unit is operated.

The invention relates to a nicking endonuclease-based netted rolling cycle amplification system and a use thereof. Based on the existing second-generation hyperbranched rolling cycle amplification technology, the amplification system utilizes a special endonuclease which is nicking endonuclease Nb.BsrDI so that a third-generation rolling cycle amplification technology which is a netted rolling cycle amplification (NGCA) technology is produced. Intensity of fluorescence signals produced by the netted rolling cycle amplification is increased with increasing of a target DNA concentration, is obviously stronger than that of fluorescence signals produced by linear rolling cycle amplification and hyperbranched rolling cycle amplification and has a detection limit of 0.1fM. Compared with the first-generation linear rolling cycle amplification and the second-generation hyperbranched rolling cycle amplification, the nicking endonuclease-based netted rolling cycle amplification system retains the prior art advantages in operationality, use cost and amplification time, further realizes signal amplification based on the prior art thereby providing good technical conditions for ultralow-abundance nucleic acid sample analysis and detection, and has a wide application prospect.
