摘要:
A pressure type flow rate control apparatus (1) for controlling flow rate of a fluid maintains an upstream side pressure P1 of an orifice at more than about twice a downstream side pressure P2. In addition to an orifice-forming member (5) the apparatus includes a control valve (2) provided at the upstream side of the orifice, a pressure detector (3) provided between the control valve and the orifice, and an operation control device (6) for calculating a flow rate Qc from the detected pressure P1 of the pressure detector as Qc=KP1 (K being a constant) and issuing a difference as a control signal Qy between a flow rate command signal Qs and the calculated flow rate Qc to a drive unit of the control valve. The orifice upstream side pressure P1 is adjusted by opening and closing the control valve, thereby controlling the orifice downstream side flow rate.

Disclosed is a method of purifying a mature peptide with a free N-terminus group from a mixture of peptides comprising the mature peptide and immature end-capped peptides. The peptides are bound to a solid-phase support and are produced by solid phase synthesis. The mixture is contacted with a linker comprising a functional group at each terminus. The functional group at one terminus has the structure --SO.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --X, wherein X is an activated carbonate group which reacts selectively with N-terminus of the mature peptide to form a urethane linkage. The functional group at the other terminus is a thiol protected with an acid labile group. After cleaving the peptides from the solid support and thiol protecting group with acid, the mature peptide is separated from the mixture by forming a covalent bond between the liberated thiol and a solid support. Treatment with base cleaves the mature peptide from the linker to give a purified mature peptide.

An endoscope insertion controlling apparatus includes a region extracting apparatus for extracting a plurality of regions corresponding to brightness from an endoscope image, for example, by setting a plurality of threshold levels of brightness and a judging apparatus for determining endoscope inserting conditions such as an inserting direction and progress speed based on an arrangement of the respective regions extracted by the region extracting apparatus. An endoscope inserting direction detecting apparatus includes a light receiving apparatus for receiving light from a visual field narrower than an ordinary observing field of the endoscope, a scanning apparatus for scanning the visual field of the light receiving apparatus and a judging apparatus for determining an endoscope inserting direction based on the received light amount by the light receiving apparatus in the respective visual field directions obtained by scanning the visual field of the light receiving apparatus by the scanning apparatus.
摘要:
A bending device for an endoscope operates the bendable portion on the front end side of the insertable portion of the endoscope to bend by moving back and forth an operating wire which is inserted in a coil sheath housed within the insertable portion to connect the bendable portion and an operation portion for bending on the rear end side of the endoscope. The bending device prevents a relative looseness between the coil sheath and the operating wire by fixing the coil sheath at its end on the bendable portion side so as not to rotate around its axis and controlling rotation of the coil sheath at the other end on the operating portion side around the axis thereof within a limit.
摘要:
A flexible carbon material is produced by carbonizing a composite material comprising carbon fibers having an average length of 6 to 50 mm and a binding agent. Carbon lumps are derived from the binding agent and are dispersed in a matrix of the carbon fibers so as to restrain a plurality of the carbon fibers while yet permitting relative slippage to occur as between the carbon fibers and carbon lumps such that the carbon fiber material exhibits a flexibility ratio D/d of not greater than 200 (where D is the diameter of curvature of the carbon material, when bent, just before breakage, and d is the thickness of the carbon material). The carbon fibers and lumps are preferrably present in an amount of from 5 to 50%, and 5 to 70% by volume, respectively, based upon the total volume of the carbon material.

Disclosed herein is an electrode substrate for fuel cells comprising two porous, carbonaceous layers, each having a number of elongated holes for feeding reactant gases into a fuel cell which are provided near the center of the thickness in said layer, and a gas impermeable, carbonaceous separator, interposed between said layers and having a number of elongated holes for flowing coolant which are provided near the center of the thickness in the separator. The porous layer is either a uniformly porous, carbonaceous monolayer, or has a two-layer structure comprising a more porous layer, a less porous layer and elongated holes for feeding reactant gases provided between said more porous layer and said less porous layer, the less porous layer having a bulk density larger than that of the more porous layer. There are also provided according to the invention processes for preparing such an electrode substrate for fuel cells.
