Abstract: The present invention relates to a terminal for a spiral contactor performing an electrical connection with an electronic component. The terminal is constituted including a peripheral frame and a contact portion contacting a connection end terminal. One end of the contact portion is fixed on the peripheral frame and the other end of the contact portion is provided spirally extended toward a center of an opening of the peripheral frame so as to universally move in a perpendicular direction for an opening face of the peripheral frame. And a thickness of the contact portion becomes thinner as the contact portion proceeds from one end toward the other end.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to detect and
select insulin-producing cells capable of proliferating,
and further to differentiate/proliferate insulin-producing
cells and precursory thereof, or cells related thereto. 
     The present invention was made by finding three
species of novel genes by detecting genes specifically
expressed in pancreases of PHHI patients which are regarded
as a model of spontaneous proliferation of pancreatic β
cells, and searching for base sequence data bases. 
     According to the present invention, proliferating insulin-producing
cells can be detected using these genes, gene
products or gene sequences by, for example, Northern
analysis or RT-PCR. Furthermore, these genes can be
differentiated into insulin-producing cells by introducing
these genes into appropriate cells in genetic engineering
manner.

Abstract: With the throttle apparatus of the present invention having a throttle
valve 30 disposed at an intake passage, a throttle shaft 240 to open and close the
throttle valve 30, a DC motor 51 to drive the throttle shaft 40, and so on, a second
drive means 60 is disposed to exert return force to the throttle shaft 40 only for
returning the throttle valve 30 to the rest position. With this structure, since
return force is not exerted with a normal operation, load to the DC motor 51 is
decreased, and an open-close operation can be preformed smoothly. By returning
the throttle valve to the rest position utilizing other means than spring force, load
to the motor is decreased, and open-close operation is smoothed.

Abstract: A single content region in a chat history display is used to display entries representative of a plurality of messages corresponding to all chat histories for all of chat threads currently engaged in by a given mobile terminal. Additionally, a buddy list display supports management of chat buddies, a detail view display allows otherwise truncated messages to be displayed, and a text message editor display supports the composition of text messages. Each chat user may designate public display identifiers for purposes of identification to other chat users. Additionally, each user may designate private display identifiers for each of his/her buddies, which private display identifiers may be used to replace the public display identifiers for that user's buddies when displayed on the user's mobile terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a planar inductive component arranged over a substrate (103). The substrate comprises a winding (101) situated in a first plane, a patterned ground shield (102), for shielding the winding (101) from the substrate (103). The winding (101) is at least substantially symmetrical with respect to a mirror plane (104) perpendicular to the first plane. The patterned ground shield (102) comprises a plurality of electrical conductive first tracks (105) situated in a first ground shield plane in parallel with the first plane. The first tracks have an orientation perpendicular to the mirror plane (104). Without the patterned ground shield (102) the winding (101) is capacitively coupled to the substrate (103). The substrate resistance results in a degradation of the quality factor of the inductive component (100). The patterned ground shield (102) shields the winding (101) from the substrate (103), thereby eliminating the degrading effect of the substrate. To prevent a reduction in the effective self inductance of the planar inductive component loop currents have to be prevented in the patterned ground shield, while at the same time transfer of charges induced in the mirrored halves of the winding (100) have to be facilitated. This is achieved by the first tracks (105).
