Genes each encoding a novel transcriptional regulator having a bromodomain have been successfully isolated from a human testis cDNA library using primers prepared based on an EST sequence found using the bromodomain sequence of the transcriptional regulator. These genes are structurally analogous to each other.

There is provided a voltage regulator in which a ratio of a maximum current and a short circuit current is adjusted so that the maximum current is greatly increased and a short circuit current is made small. A first current limiting circuit for limiting a current value of an output voltage terminal is composed of P-channel MOS transistors (2, 4), an N-channel MOS transistor (3), and resistors (21 and 22). A second current limiting circuit for detecting a reduction in voltage of the output voltag...

A fluid pressure regulator is provided having a housing with an inlet and outlet for fluid, a valve located movably inside the housing and provided with a fluid transport member to allow passage of fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The regulator also has a pressure setting member and a space defined by one end of the valve and an end wall of the housing. The valve is moveable relative to the housing in response to a change in pressure within the space between a first position which at least pa...

A pressure regulator has a closing member which controls a pressure-medium inlet and on which is supported a valve spring arranged in a spring can. The spring can includes a casing part and of a lid. The valve spring is supported with one end against the lid. The lid is pushed into the casing part until the necessary spring force is set exactly and is then connected to the casing surface of the casing part by means of radial indentations.

A pressure regulator suitable for use as a breathing demand valve in self-contained breathing equipment comprising a first chamber incorporating an inlet port having an inlet valve therein, preferably in the form of a poppet valve and biased so as to seal of the inlet port, and separated from a second chamber by a diaphragm. The diaphragm co-operates with the end of a stem extending from the poppet valve member of the inlet valve such that, upon inhalation by the user, the diaphragm is deflected...

A window regulator, e.g., for a vehicle window, which includes opposing block and pulley arrangements that interact via a lift pulley (36) mounted to a lift plate (16) that slides along a rail (22). Operative movement of a crank assembly (44) in a first sense tensions a cable (32a) to move the lift plate (16) toward a first end (34a) of the rail (22), and operative movement of the crank assembly (44) in a second sense, opposite the first sense, tensions a cable (32b) to move the lift plate (16) ...

A fluid regulator has two valve bodies (24, 25) placed opposite and cooperating with two openings (22, 23) for controlling the fluid flow from an inlet chamber to two outlet chambers. A spindle (34) interconnects the valve bodies (24, 25) at a predetermined mutual distance forming a spindle assembly. Each valve body and each opening form a passage (30, 31), the sum of the areas of the two passages being constant, but adjustable by a handle (9). The spindle assembly is freely moveable in the axia...

A thin window regulator which can be assembled easily and which requires less installation space inside a door panel is disclosed. Both longitudinal ends of a belt are connected to a pair of sliders and the belt is made into a ring shape. Sliders are movable along a guide rail and are biased closer to each other by springs. Thus, since the ring-shaped belt is wound around a sprocket and the sliding portion, tension is not reduced by a creep phenomenon and the belt does not loosen. One end of the...

A voltage regulator contains a reference which provides a value for comparison by an error amplifier which generates a control signal in response to the deviation of the output to the reference. As many stages of the circuit as possible are connected to fixed potential points. The fixed potential points are fixed with respect to the regulated output voltage. This provides a voltage regulator which is insensitive to interference signals from the unregulated supply voltage. The interference signal...

A flush regulator selectively operable in partial flush mode or a full flush mode for use with a water closet including a water storage tank having a flush drain aperture formed in the lower portion thereof and a buoyant flapper valve disposed to selectively seal the flush drain aperture movable between an open and closed position by a flush handle movable between a first and second position to selectively control the flow of water through the flush drain aperture, the flush regulator comprising...
