The present invention relates to a refrigerator body and a method of manufacturing the same. The refrigerator body of the present invention includes an outer case for defining an external appearance and an inner case for defining the interior of a refrigerator and has a foam insulation material filled into a space between the outer and inner cases. The refrigerator body also comprises recessed portions depressed at the inside of the inner case and protruding outside thereof in a direction of thickness of the inner case so as to fix a part to be installed and mounted on the inside of the inner case, and reinforcement members installed to be tightly coupled to the recessed portions at the outside of the inner case so as to reinforce the recessed portions. Accordingly, a foaming preparation operation can be rapidly and easily performed, and the foam insulation material can be prevented from leaking into the interior of the refrigerator.

A microchip including a first substrate with a groove formed on a substrate surface or a pass-through hole passing in a thickness direction of the substrate, and one or more second substrates laminated on a surface of the first substrate; the microchip including an optical measurement cuvette consisting of a space configured by the groove or the pass-through hole, and a substrate surface of the second substrate; wherein a side wall surface of the second substrate is positioned on an inner side than a side wall surface of the first substrate in at least one part of a side wall surface of the microchip, and a method of using the same are provided.

In an AC link type boosting device, DC terminals of two voltage inverters are connected each other in series in additive polarity and plural AC terminals of each of the voltage inverters are connected to a transformer. The two voltage type inverters are AC linked to each other via the transformer. An external voltage applied between the DC terminals of the AC link type booster is divided by the voltage-type inverters.

The present invention is related to a method for producing functionalised short carbon nanotubes with at least one open tip by mechanical treatment of long carbon nanotubes, wherein said long nanotubes are submitted to mechanical milling forces in the presence of a reactant able to chemically react with the nanotubes so that short carbon nanotubes comprising at least one specific chemical group are obtained.

A humidification control method includes the steps of detecting a direct current resistance component by measuring impedance during power generation of a fuel cell stack, calculating a reaction resistance component based on the detected direct current resistance component and a stack voltage, detecting a humidified state of the fuel cell stack based on the detected direct current resistance component and the calculated reaction resistance component, and adjusting a quantity of humidification of a reaction gas supplied to the fuel cell stack based on the detected humidified state of the fuel cell stack.

A single stage instrument is used to insert a chest drainage tube into the inter-pleural space to facilitate drainage. The instrument is scissor-like with cylinder-like channels to slidably enclose the distal section of the tube therein when closed. The tip of the instrument is curved to enter the skin incision and the offset pleural incision whereafter the instrument is rotated 180 degrees to align the curved tip with the pleural space. The curved tip facilitates sliding the chest drainage tube through the instrument to effect sufficient insertion length. Once the instrument is in place, the tube is slid along the instrument to ensure that all drainage holes in the chest drainage tube are within the pleural cavity. Thereafter, the instrument is withdrawn leaving the chest drainage tube in place. After withdrawal of the instrument, it is opened laterally for lateral disengagement with the chest drainage tube.

The present invention relates to methods for detecting the presence of ribonuclease enzymes, more specifically to methods that provide for a visual detection assay. The methods entail contacting a test sample suspected of containing ribonuclease activity with a substrate containing a ribonuclease-sensitive internucleotide linkage flanked directly or indirectly by a fluorescence reporter group and a dark quencher, such that if a ribonuclease activity is present in the sample, the ribonuclease-sensitive internucleotide linkage is cleaved and the fluorescence reporter group emits a visually detectable signal. The present invention further provides novel nucleic acid compositions used as substrates for such assays and encompasses kits for performing the methods of the invention.

A multifunction key pad display for an electronic device, including: a display panel including display regions arranged in a matrix, and bounded by non-display regions as boundaries; a printed circuit board positioned on the display panel, including openings facing the display regions, and keys disposed at sides of the openings, facing the non-display regions; and a pad positioned on the printed circuit board, having transparent windows facing the openings, and pressing units facing the keys. Two rows of the keys can be arranged between two other rows of the openings.

A gas sensor includes a protective cover having a resin cylindrical cover portion at a rear end thereof, that can be airtightly attached to an attachment hole, and that can prevent a decrease in quality and a molding defect. A plurality of vertical ribs, which extend substantially parallel to an axis of a cylindrical cover portion, are formed on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical cover portion so that protrusions and recesses are provided in a circumferential direction. Due to the presence of the vertical ribs, as compared with an existing cylindrical cover portion that has a smooth outer peripheral surface without the vertical ribs, defects of the outer peripheral surface are not likely to occur in a molding process. Moreover, because slipping is not likely to occur when an operator holds and twists the cylindrical cover portion with his/her fingers, an attachment operation can be smoothly performed.

Provided herein is a portable terminal apparatus and a control method thereof, the method including registering at least one execution condition and execution command in the portable terminal apparatus; displaying an icon for the control; and in response to a select command regarding the icon being input, transmitting an execution command corresponding to an execution condition at a point where the select command regarding the icon is input to at least one peripheral device.

A laundry washing and/or drying appliance (100) includes a cabinet (3) containing a rotatable drum (2) that can be loaded/unloaded with laundry. The cabinet (3) is provided with a loading/unloading opening (200) for accessing said drum (2). A door locking device (1) is fixed inside the cabinet (3) and is accessible from outside the cabinet (3). The door locking device (1) includes a support housing (23) provided with an opening (22) for the introduction of a hook member (21). The opening (22) is accessible from outside the cabinet (3). A door (4) for closing said loading/unloading opening (200) is movably connected to the cabinet (3) and includes the hook member (21) adapted to engage with the door locking device (1). The door locking device (1) has a retaining member (54) mounted to move with respect to the support housing (23) between a rest position in which it enables the hook member (21) to be introduced into and extracted from said opening (22) and an operating position in which it retains the hook member (21) in a closing position, when the hook member (21) is introduced into the opening (22). A safety member (53) can move in the housing (23) between a retracted position, in which it enables the retaining member (54) to move from the operating position to the rest position, and an extended position, in which it prevents the retaining member (54) from moving from the operating position to the rest position. An electrically powered control element (20) is adapted to control the position of the safety member (53). The door locking device (1) includes at least one guiding element (24,52, 52b) provided in the support housing for guiding an emergency-opening tool (40,50) to a safety member location (53a) from which the safety member (53) extends when it is in its extended position.
