An apparatus for fixing and centering substrates that are each provided with an inner hole is provided. The nonwoven barrier laminates of the invention generally include outer spunbonded layers, at least one hydrophobic microporous layer between the outer spunbonded layers, and at least one discrete layer of electrically conductive strands. A vehicle ECU selects an electric power path to be used for charging based on the state of the power storage device and efficiency of the DC charger and the AC charger. In particularly preferred embodiments the stabilized dispersions may be directly administered to the lung of a patient using an endotracheal tube or bronchoscope. The cross-sectional enlargement is accomplished by modifying the course of the wall in a limited area, actually by gradually enlarging the flow cross-section in the bypass duct in the axial and in the circumferential direction, with this enlargement being confined to the area around the leading edge of the support struts andor the aerodynamic fairings. The camera zoom device includes a zoom dial rotating about a rotation axis; a zoom dial rotation sensing unit for sensing a rotation angle of the zoom dial; a zoom controlling unit for determining a zoom direction and a zoom magnification depending on the sensed rotation angle; and a zoom lens driving unit for driving a zoom lens unit depending on the zoom direction and the zoom magnification.
