A system for mounting solar modules comprising a plurality of racks and clamps. Each rack has an inclined upper mounting surface to support one of the solar modules and an inclined lower mounting surface to support one of the other solar modules. Each upper mounting surface and lower mounting surface define a slot. One of the clamps slidably receivable by a slot of one of the upper mounting surfaces and configured to secure the one solar modules to the upper mounting surfaces and an other of the clamps slidably receivable by a slot of one of the lower mounting surfaces and configured to secure said one of the other solar modules to one of the lower mounting surfaces. Each rack has a tray having a first tower supporting the upper mounting surface and a second tower supporting the lower mounting surface.

An object is to provide a drying machine which can accomplish delicate drying and reduce burdens on a matter to be dried during drying while securing a predetermined evaporation temperature in an evaporator. In summary, a dry cleaner equipped with a heat pump device comprises a water-cooling heat exchanger which removes heat from a refrigerant entering a capillary tube; and a control device which variably controls a discharged heat amount in the water-cooling heat exchanger and capacity of the compressor, wherein the control device has at least two kinds of drying modes including a usual drying mode and a delicate drying mode, and in the delicate drying mode, a temperature of air discharged into a storage chamber is set lower than in the usual drying mode to control the capacity of the compressor and to increase the discharged heat amount in the water-cooling heat exchanger.

The present invention relates to compounds, their use in the treatment or the prevention of viral disorders, including HIV.

A health assessment server allows people to conduct their own physical examinations using one or more medical measurement devices that are bound to one or more user devices. The user uses the medical measurement devices herself and submits the results to the health assessment server through a computer network such as the Internet, either directly from the medical measurement devices or through the user devices. The health assessment server determines an improved health state of the user at which benefits accrue to the user and periodically requests updated health attributes to measure progress toward the improved health state and projecting time until the improved health state is achieved.

In a multilayered piezoelectric element having a multilayered structure in which electrode layers and piezoelectric material layers are alternately stacked, an internal electrode and a side electrode can be strongly connected. The element includes a first electrode layer having an end portion that protrudes to an outer side than adjacent piezoelectric material layers on a first side surface of the multilayered structure and providing a first insulating region between a second side surface and itself, a second electrode layer having an end portion that protrudes to an outer side than adjacent piezoelectric material layers on the second side surface of the multilayered structure and providing a second insulating region between the first side surface and itself, a first side electrode connected to the end portion of the first electrode layer, and a second side electrode connected to the end portion of the second electrode layer.

An EUV light source apparatus in which contamination or damage of optical elements and other component elements by debris can be suppressed to realize longer lives of them. The EUV light source apparatus is an apparatus for radiating extreme ultraviolet light by generating plasma of a target material within a chamber, and includes: a first laser unit for applying a first laser beam to the target material to generate pre-plasma; a second laser unit for applying a second laser beam to the pre-plasma to generate a main plasma for radiating the extreme ultraviolet light; and a magnetic field generating unit for generating a magnetic field within the chamber to control a state of at least one of the pre-plasma and the main plasma.

Provided is a simple and safe immunization procedure to reduce cancer incidence and increase longevity by modulating IGF-1 levels in the body. Described are cancer preventive vaccines and methods that elicit circulating antibodies specific to insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the body. Many cancers will be less likely to occur and spread in the absence or reduced levels of the stimulatory signals provided by IGF-1. Longevity also can be extended by immunologically lowering the level of bioavailable IGF-1 in adult animals. This prolongation of lifespan resulting from lower IGF-1 levels is produced independently of the inhibitory effects on carcinogenesis. However, the two IGF-1-mediated processes are linked mechanistically. Methods of active and passive immunization to suppress IGF-1 activity are included. Also described are methods for increasing longevity or reducing one or more symptoms of aging in a warm-blooded animal comprising administering anti-IGF-1 antibodies such that IGF-1 is inactivated or suppressed or administering IGF-1 antigen such that the animal produces endogenous antibodies to IGF-1.

A method for producing a semiconductor light emitting device is disclosed. The method comprises the step of growing a nitride type III-V group compound semiconductor layer that forms a light emitting device structure on a principal plane of a nitride type III-V group compound semiconductor substrate on which a plurality of second regions made of a crystal having a second average dislocation density are regularly arranged in a first region made of a crystal having a first average dislocation density so as to produce a semiconductor light emitting device, the second average dislocation density being greater than the first average dislocation density. The nitride type III-V group compound semiconductor layer does not directly contact the second regions on the principal plane of the nitride type III-V group compound semiconductor substrate.

A disclosed image forming apparatus includes an image carrier; a developing device configured to form a toner image on the image carrier; a compressed air generating unit configured to generate compressed air; an air nozzle configured to eject the compressed air; a fixing device configured to fix the toner image on a sheet, the sheet being separated from the fixing device by the compressed air ejected from the air nozzle to the sheet; a pressure regulation unit provided between the compressed air generating unit and the air nozzle; and a guide path connected to the pressure regulation unit and configured to guide excess air generated by a pressure regulation of the pressure regulation unit to at least one part in the image forming apparatus.

The present invention relates to compounds which are effective as catalysts for dismutating superoxide and, more particularly, the manganese or iron complexes of substituted, unsaturated heterocyclic 16-membered macrocyclic complexes that catalytically dismutate superoxide. It also relates to methods of using these complexes to reduce the concentration or the effects of superoxide, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds or their metal complexes, and methods of treating conditions associated with excessive superoxide activity.
