Imidazole compounds having adenosine deaminase inhibitory activity represented by formula (I) wherein R is hydrogen, hydroxy, protected hydroxy, or aryl optionally substituted with suitable substituent(s); R is hydrogen or lower alkyl; R is hydroxy or protected hydroxy; R is cyano, (hydroxy)iminoamino(lower)alkyl, carboxy, protected carboxy, heterocyclic group optionally substituted with amino, or carbamoyl optionally substituted with suitable substituent(s); and &mdash;A&mdash; is &mdash;Q&mdash; or &mdash;O&mdash;Q&mdash;, wherein Q is single bond or lower alkylene, provided that when R is lower alkyl, then R is hydroxy, protected hydroxy, or aryl optionally substituted with suitable substituent(s), its prodrug, or their salt. The compounds are useful for treating and/or preventing diseases for which adenosine is effective.

When a raising switch (21) or a lowering switch (23) is operated in an electric blind apparatus, an MPU (34) rotates a geared motor (4) so that a take drum (37) winds up or unwinds a lifting tape (10) to raise/lower vanes (13) of a blind. Upon rotation of the take-up drum, a photointerrupter (38) generates pulse signals and the MPU counts the pulse signals to judge a vertical position of the blind. When an opening or closing switch (24, 26) is operated, the MPU rotates the geared motor so that a ladder drum (39) is followingly rotated to wind up one of ladder cords (11) fixed to the ladder drum, thereby to adjust an open/close angle of the vanes. Following rotation of the ladder drum, a photointerrrupter (41) supplies pulse signals to the MPU, which in turn counts the pulse signals to judge the open/close angle of the vanes.

Electric blind apparatus

A heating type hair waving appliance includes a bonnet in which the hairline area of the head of a patron is inserted and a plurality of infrared radiation lamps serving as a source of heat for heating the hairline area. A controller is implemented with a microcomputer semiconductor integrated circuit for receiving inputs applied via an input keyboard and placing the plurality of the infrared lamps into predetermined conditions. A solid state display provides a display of the operative state of the infrared lamps and an ultrasonic type atomizer is provided for generating moisture-laden mist which in turn is guided into the interior of the bonnet.

Hair waving appliance controlled by a microcomputer

A hair waving appliance of the type having a hood assembly includes a plurality of independently controllable heating means such as infrared heaters or lamps valves each disposed to heat a different hairline area of the head of a patron. A temperature control and a timer are provided for individual ones of the heating elements for controlling a temperature and a period of heating independently of one another. In addition, an ultrasonic atomizer is provided within the head supporting assembly to generate moisture-laden air mist, imparting longer-lasting curl retention. A heating temperature or a period of heating can be determined under the control of at least either the temperature control or the timer depending upon the hair nature of the hairline areas and personal taste of the patron.
