Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for treating a vascular hyperpermeable disease (except macular edema), which method comprises administering to a patient in need thereof a vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) inhibitor in an amount sufficient to treat said patient for said disease. The agents are 2-acylamino thiazole compounds.
Abstract:
A mist generating device includes a mist generation vibrator, and a sealed vessel accommodating therein a fluid and provided at a side of a vibrating surface of the mist generation vibrator. A wall portion which constitutes a part of the sealed vessel and faces the mist generation vibrator has a thin film membrane and a mist of liquid outside the sealed vessel is generated by ultrasonic vibration transmitted from the mist generation vibrator via the fluid in the sealed vessel and the thin film membrane.
Abstract:
A dishwasher includes a washer tub for accommodating therein items to be cleaned, and a mist generating unit for generating a mist of wash water in the washer tub, the mist generating unit including a mist generating vibrator and a vibration transmitting medium. The vibration transmitting medium is provided on the mist generating vibrator so that the mist generating vibrator is isolated from wash water.

Abstract:
A composition which comprises polyphenylene ether, polyamide, rubber-like material, compatibilizing agent having double bond or triple bond, and a polarity such as a carboxyl group, amide group and the like, and a melt tension modifier comprising a compound having oxirane oxygen.Said composition makes blow molding of large size molded products possible by the effect of decreasing the drawdown of parison during blow molding.
Abstract:
A crosslinkable polyethylene resin composition comprises, basically, (A) a copolymer of ethylene and an ethylenically unsaturated silane compound, wherein the content of the ethylenically unsaturated silane compound unit is 0.001 to 15 percent by weight, and (B) a silanol condensation. The copolymer may further comprise a monomer copolymerizable with the ethylene and the ethylenically unsaturated silane compound. The composition may be expandable, further comprising a foaming agent and may further comprise a polyolefin and a filler and may be in the form of a film or sheet.
Abstract:
A modified polyolefin composition having excellent physical properties such as bending rigidity, bending strength, impact strength, and the like can be prepared by melting and kneading a mixture of a radical generating agent such as benzoyl peroxide, a porous filler, and a polyolefin composed primarily of propylene and, if necessary, a polar vinyl monomer at a high temperature above the decomposition temperature of the radical generating agent.

Abstract:
To provide a cleaning apparatus suitable for removing clogging substances trapped in a surface layer of a sand filtration layer. A cleaning apparatus equipped with drive wheels serving as a driving device configured to move across a surface of a sand filtration layer. A pump and a jet nozzle are provided as an agitation device configured to agitate a surface layer portion of the sand filtration layer only at a desired depth, and which blows the clogging substances upward into the seawater in a turbid water intake pit together with a filtration sand. A perforated pipe for suctioning turbid water, a pump, an ejector, and a discharge pipe for dilute turbid water are provided as a suction and discharge device configured to suction turbid water blown upward into seawater in the water intake pit by the agitation device, and discharge it to outside of the turbid water intake pit. Prevents clogging by performing a timely cleaning of the sand filtration layer, thereby making it possible to maintain a high-speed seawater infiltration rate for seawater. Impact on the surrounding environment is reduced, because the apparatus suctions turbid water containing clogging substances which is blown upward into the turbid water intake pit, and discharges it to outside of the system.
