The cutting tool, or folding scissors, has first and second knife blades and first and second handles, each of the first and second knife blades and first and second handles being positionable relative to one another. The apparatus includes a spindle and a mechanism for rotating the spindle. To do so, in view of the fact that the step-up circuit has alternating active state in which the circuit is stepping up a source voltage to output a required step-up voltage and inactive state in which no stepping operation is made, the temperature sensor is adapted to obtain temperature data while the step-up circuit is inactive. Accordingly, the invention provides a method of making wires or interconnects from copper or other metals. Additionally, PPAR ligands and DPP-IV inhibitors may be co-administered with the above.
