A power stabilizing device in a system includes as a portion of a power converter section, a second PWM converter provided between a second primary AC bus and a second DC bus in an electric system and configured to perform mutual conversion between DC power and AC power. A power stabilizing control section in the power stabilizing device controls charging and discharging of a secondary battery based on a voltage and a frequency in the second primary AC bus, thereby stabilizing the electric system.

A structure for mounting a battery onto an electric vehicle comprising: a body member, which is made from metal, forming a body of the electric vehicle a battery case, which is made from resin, containing the battery charging electric power for driving the electric vehicle; a framework member, which is made from metal, being embedded in the battery case; and a connecting member connecting between the framework member and the body member.

Described herein is a seismic streamer formed of sections including a main sheath covered with an external sheath, wherein said external sheath is formed using a thermoplastic material loaded with a biocide material.

An electric system of an aircraft includes a power stabilizing device connected to a primary AC bus and a secondary battery. The secondary battery has a rated voltage which allows the secondary battery to absorb regenerative power from a control surface actuator. Based on a voltage and a frequency in the primary AC bus, charging/discharging of the secondary battery is controlled to stabilize the electric system.

A structure holds a display panel arranged inside a cabinet from the both sides by means of a holding member and a frame portion, which are supported by the circumferential surface section, so as to reduce thickness and frame width without using a bezel and to ensure rigidity. The cabinet is provided with a frame portion positioned on the display surface side of the display panel, a circumferential surface portion positioned at the periphery of the display panel, and a rear surface portion covering the other surface side of the display panel. A protruding section is arranged on the outer circumference side of the periphery of the display panel and the holding member to extend from the display surface side of the display panel toward the side opposite to the display surface, on an inner surface of the frame portion. A reinforcing section is arranged for connecting the inner circumference section of the protruding section with the inner surface section of a frame portion. The protruding section is provided with connecting sections, which are integrally formed with the inner surface of the frame portion, annularly arranged on the outer circumference of the display panel, and integrally formed at a plurality of positions on the protruding section in the circumference direction. The holding member has a section to be connected with the connecting section.

The present invention relates to the use of a growth hormone (GH) secretagogue, such as a ghrelin-like compound, for the preparation of a medicament for the prophylaxis or treatment of ghrelin deficiency, and/or undesirable symptoms associated therewith, in an individual at risk of acquiring partial or complete ghrelin deficiency resulting from a medical treatment and/or from a pathological condition. The present invention also relates to use of a secretagogue compound for the preparation of a medicament for the prophylaxis or treatment of one or more of: loss of fat mass, loss of lean body mass, weight loss, cachexia, loss of appetite, immunological dysfunction, malnutrition, disrupted sleep pattern, sleepiness, reduction in intestinal absorption and/or intestinal mobility problems in an individual suffering from, or at risk of suffering from, ghrelin deficiency. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of a secretagogue, such as a ghrelin-like compound, for the production of a medicament for preventing weight increase in an individual either: a) being converted from a hyperthyroidic state to euthyroid state, or b) in remission from being converted from a hyperthyroidic state to euthyroid state.

The invention discloses a cassia seed lotus leaf coffee which is characterized by comprising the following components by mass percent: 1-5% of cassia seed extractives, 1-5% of lotus leaf extractives, 7-15% of coffee, 5-20% of sweetener and the balance of powdered oil. The coffee not only has natural and unique taste and smell of coffee and has the functions of promoting blood circulation, exciting nerves, removing fatigue, improving indigestion and the like, but also ensures that coffee drinks have the functions of antioxidation, anti-aging, bowel detoxification, fat fall and weight loss. When the cassia seed lotus leaf coffee is drunk, active ingredients of the cassia seed extractives and the lotus leaf extractives together with coffee are rapidly absorbed by the human body and then playroles of antioxidation, anti-aging, bowel detoxification, fat fall and weight loss, thereby bringing benefits to the health of a body.

A pneumatic tire for heavy load is provided to be able to effectively enhance the transversal stiffness, so that the carcass can be prevented from breaking before the other reinforcement members such as a belt and a reinforcement layer break. A tread rubber is arranged radially outwardly on the crown portion of the carcass. A belt consisting of at least one belt layer is arranged between the tread rubber and the carcass. The belt layer containing cords extending in a direction inclined from the tire's circumferential direction. At least one circumferential reinforcement layer containing meandering cords extending generally along the tire's circumferential direction in a wavy or zigzag shape is provided radially outwardly or inwardly on the belt or between the belt layers. At least one transversal reinforcement layer containing straight cords extending generally perpendicular to the tire's circumferential direction is provided on the position radially outwardly adjacent to the crown portion of the carcass.

A vehicle seat frame is provided, which can prevent the increase of weight and secure the strength effectively. The vehicle seat frame comprises a seat cushion frame supporting a seat cushion, a seat back frame supporting a seat back, a recliner rotatably connecting the seat back relative to the seat cushion and adjusting the rotation angle thereof and a shoulder belt anchor provided on the seat back frame for supporting one end of a shoulder belt. The back center frame of the seat back frame includes a hollow quadrangular shape outer peripheral portion and a reinforcement plate provided in the outer peripheral portion and placed in parallel with a direction of load to be applied on the shoulder belt anchor from the shoulder belt.

Measuring light emitted from a laser light source and split into four light rays through optical fibers is emitted into a space from emission units, and bent upward at a mirror. The measuring light passes through a window in the center of the sample stage and strikes a lower surface of the biological sample placed on the sample stage. A portion of fluorescence emitted through excitation by the measuring light passes through the window, is bent in an opposite direction from the measuring light by the mirror, and guided to a fluorescence camera. An objective lens, and a spectroscopic unit for separating visible wavelength components are horizontally arranged between the camera and the mirror. Although the projection of the measuring light and the detection of the fluorescence are performed perpendicularly to the biological sample, the optical components and elements are horizontally arranged.

A lower vehicle-body structure of the electric vehicle includes a pair of left and right side sills; a substantially flat front floor panel; a first floor cross member disposed on an upper surface of the front floor panel located below a front part of a front seat; a second floor cross member disposed on an upper surface of the front floor panel 8 located below a rear part of the front seat; a kick-up portion raised from a rear end of the front floor panel 8 toward a vehicle upper side; and a console support bracket that has a front part connected to a vehicle body on a vehicle front side and a rear part connected to the kick-up portion. A lower part of the console support bracket is secured to the first and second floor cross members.

In the connecting structure of the present invention, connectors 8 and 9 which are in contact with terminals 6 and 7 are connected to fuel cell 1 including first cells 2a which have the terminals 6 and 7 at an anode plate and a cathode respectively, and second cells 2b which have terminals 6 and 7 in neither an anode plate nor a cathode, stacked alternately.
