Abstract:
A method of forming a medical device, the method including the steps of providing a substrate, depositing a metallic layer on the substrate by a vapor deposition process, and removing the metallic layer from the substrate. The metallic layer thus removed is the medical device or serves as a basis for forming the medical device. In another aspect, the present invention includes a medical device formed by the process of the present invention.
Abstract:
A raw material composite 10 for a carbon material used in an electric double layer capacitor contains microcrystalline carbon having a layered crystal structure similar to graphite, and is formed a carbon material for an electric double layer capacitor by undergoing an activation treatment. Here, the raw material composite is characterized in that a Hardgrove grindability index HGI defined by ASTMD-409-71 is 50 or above, an interlayer distance d002 of the microcrystalline carbon determined by an X-ray diffraction method is 0.343 NM or below, and a crystallite size Lc002 of the microcrystalline carbon determined by the X-ray diffraction method is 3.0 nm or below.
Abstract:
A process for producing a lysosomal enzyme having a mannose-6-phosphate-containing acidic sugar chain, wherein the process comprising: culturing in a medium yeast cells obtained by introducing a lysosomal enzyme gene into a sugar chain biosynthetic enzyme gene mutant strain of yeast, collecting a lysosomal enzyme having a phosphate-containing sugar chain from the culture, and then treating the enzyme with α-mannosidase; and pharmaceutical compositions for treatment of human lysosomal enzyme deficiencies produced by the process. The genetic engineering technique using the yeast according to the present invention allows large-amount and high-purity production of a glycoprotein having a phosphate-containing acidic sugar chain which can serve as a labeling marker for transporting into lysosomes in cells of mammals such as human. The glycoprotein having a phosphate-containing acidic sugar chain according to the invention may be utilized as a drug effective in treatment of human lysosomal enzyme deficiencies, etc.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor includes a first scroll and a second scroll. The first scroll has a step portion that separates an elevated portion and a recessed portion of a surface of the first scroll. A spiral wall of the second scroll has a step that separates an elevated portion and a recessed portion of the wall. A first bypass hole is provided in the elevated portion of the surface of the first scroll. A second bypass hole is provided in the recessed portion of the surface of the first scroll. The second bypass hole is within 360 degrees toward a center of the spiral of the first scroll from an outer end of the spiral. The first bypass hole is within 360 degrees from the second bypass hole toward the center of the spiral.

Abstract:
A weight member is attached to a rotor so as to forcibly offset a center of gravity of a rotor from a rotating axis, centrifugal force moves two movable weight members to appropriate positions for canceling the unbalance due to the center of gravity offset from the rotating axis, and stoppers restrict the movement of the two movable weight members in a sectoral area opposite to the center of gravity so that the rotor is free from vibrations due to the characteristic angular velocity.
Abstract:
Quinuclidine derivatives represented by general following general formula (I), salts, N-oxides or quaternary ammonium salts thereof, and medicinal compositions containing the same. The compound has an antagonistic effect on muscarinic M3 receptors and is useful as a preventive or remedy for urologic diseases, respiratory diseases or digestive diseases.
