Abstract:
A container for distributing a plastic food such as soft serve ice cream and a container capable of simultaneously distributing a plurality of plastic substances include a circular bottom portion provided with an opening, a side face with a circular-arc-shaped face and a sword-guard-shaped portion protruded outwardly in a perpendicular direction to each side face. The container is constituted so that a wall thickness of the side face is smaller than that of the circular bottom portion and that the wall thickness of the sword-guard-shaped portion is larger than that of the half-moon-shaped bottom portion.
Abstract:
An epoxy resin composition comprises (A) a biphenyl epoxy resin, (B) a phenolic resin curing agent having a naphthalene structure, (C) a curing accelerator comprising an addition product of a triphenylphosphine and benzoquinone, and (D) an inorganic filler contained in an amount of 85 to 95% by weight based on the total amount of the composition, and a semiconductor device encapsulated by this resin composition.
Abstract:
A data transmission system for transmitting information data with a parity of an error correcting code for correcting an error in the information data. A read-out controller controls a transmitter to transmit information data and a parity so that each data component of the information data obtained by dividing the information data of one data block area into a plurality of data components and each parity component of the parity obtained by dividing the parity of one block area into a plurality of parity components are transmitted at intervals of each sector having a sector address. The sector is defined as an data area obtained by dividing one data block area of a predetermined data amount into a plurality of sectors each having an identical data amount.
Abstract:
Modified influenza virus neuraminidases are described herein that improve viral replication, thus improving the yield of vaccine viruses. Expression of such modified neuraminidases by influenza virus may also stabilize co-expressed hemagglutinins so that the hemagglutinins do not undergo mutation.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a catalyst used for manufacturing an optically active carbonyl compound by selective asymmetric hydrogenation of an α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, which is insoluble in a reaction mixture, and a method for manufacturing the corresponding optically active carbonyl compound. Particularly, the invention provides a catalyst for obtaining an optically active citronellal useful as a flavor or fragrance, by selective asymmetric hydrogenation of citral, geranial or neral. The invention relates to a catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation of an α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound, which comprises: a powder of at least one metal selected from metals belonging to Group 8 to Group 10 of the Periodic Table, or a metal-supported substance in which the at least one metal is supported on a support; an optically active cyclic nitrogen-containing compound; and an acid, and also relates to a method for manufacturing an optically active carbonyl compound using the same.
Abstract:
A velocity-image creating unit creates a velocity image that indicates a distribution of velocity components with respect to each of a plurality of images obtained by repeating a plurality of number of times Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) that is capable of obtaining velocity components of a Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) flowing inside a subject. A velocity-variance image creating unit calculates variance of velocity components along the time sequence by same position on velocity images by using a plurality of created velocity images. A superimposed-image processing unit then superimposes the distribution of the variance of the velocity components according to the velocity-variance image on an average absolute-value image, and an image display unit displays a superimposed image.

A touch panel having a film/film structure includes an upper electrode member including a transparent insulation film and a lower electrode member including a transparent insulation film, wherein the transparent insulation film and the transparent insulation film have upwardly-inclined end surfaces at each entire peripheral side.
Abstract:
A flame-retardant resin composition comprises a base resin (e.g., a polyester-series resin), a flame retardant (A) comprising a salt of an amino group-containing triazine compound with a sulfuric acid and/or a sulfonic acid, a flame-retardant auxiliary (B). The flame-retardant auxiliary (B) includes an aromatic resin, acyclic urea-series compound or a derivative thereof [e.g., acetyleneurea, uric acid, a salt of melamine or a condensate thereof (e.g., melam, melem, and melon) with cyanuric acid], an amino group-containing triazine compound (e.g., melamine or a condensate thereof), and/or an inorganic metal-series compound (e.g., a metal salt of an oxygen acid having no sulfur atom, a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide, and a metal sulfide). The present invention provides a flame-retardant resin composition to which flame retardancy is imparted without using a halogen-series flame retardant and an organic phosphorus-series flame retardant.
Abstract:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit which applies a labeling pulse to invert a spin included in a labeling region within part of a imaging region and then collects a echo signal from a time point when an inversion time has passed from the application of the labeling pulse, and a control unit, the control unit controlling the imaging unit so that the echo signal in the imaging region is collected a plurality of times with variations in the inversion time, the control unit also controlling the imaging unit so that a time ranging from a reference time point within a biological signal obtained from a subject to the application of the labeling pulse is a time determined in accordance with the inversion time.
