摘要:
An isolated and purified outer membrane protein of a Moraxella strain, particularly M. catarrhalis, having a molecular mass of about 200 kDa, is provided. The about 200 kDa outer membrane protein as well as nucleic acid molecules encoding the same are useful in diagnostic applications and immunogenic compositions, particularly for in vivo administration to a host to confer protection against disease caused by a bacterial pathogen that produces the about 200 kDa outer membrane protein or produces a protein capable of inducing antibodies in a host specifically reactive with the about 200 kDa outer membrane protein.
摘要:
A liquid crystal display device is disclosed in which a liquid crystal material mixed with a dichroic dye is held between a pair of substrates whose facing surfaces are provided with electrodes, so that a picture element is made up of a pair of facing portions of the electrodes and a portion of the liquid crystal material sandwiched by the facing portions, in which a reflecting plate is adjacent to one of the substrates, and in which at least one of the substrates is formed of a birefringent material having slow and fast principal axes of birefringence. In the above device, an angle between the direction of the absorption axis of the dichroic dye and one of the principal axes of birefringence of the substrate is selected so that the contrast and viewing-direction characteristic of the device can be improved.

A multi-layer liquid crystal panel for a liquid crystal display device having stacked light transmitting substrates of different sizes is disclosed. A retainer is disposed at a position directly beneath a sealing member which seals a first substrate and a second substrate, between the second substrate and a third substrate. The retainer is applied to the substrates simultaneously with the application of the sealing member. The first, second and third substrates are stacked one on the other and pressed to form a multi-layer panel. By virtue of the retainer, the gaps between the respective substrates are maintained uniform over the display area.

An image sensor comprises a plurality of pixels, and each pixel having: a plurality of photoelectric conversion units configured to receive light fluxes that pass through different exit pupil regions of an optical system disposed on an object side of the image sensor and accumulate charges, respectively; a separation portion configured to separate the photoelectric conversion units; and setting means configured to selectively set an electric potential of the separation portion to any one of a plurality of electric potentials. Signals can be separately read out from the photoelectric conversion units. Taking an electric potential of a separation portion that separates the plurality of pixels as a reference potential, the plurality of electric potentials include first to third electric potentials; higher than the reference potential, lower than the reference potential, and higher than the reference potential and lower than the first electric potential.

A device registration part 52 registers the information regarding devices of theft prevention object in a DB 53 for devices of theft prevention object. A device event monitoring part 54 receives the notification of information regarding a removal request or a removal action for a device. A device detection part 55 acquires the detailed information regarding the device for which the removal request or the removal action is made. A device identification part 56 determines whether the device on which the detailed information is acquired is registered in the DB 53 for devices of theft prevention object. A password authentication part 57 requests password authentication, if the device is registered in the DB 53 for devices of theft prevention object. A warning control part 59 issues a warning in response to the password authentication part 57 not properly performing authentication.
摘要:
Pixel regions are formed on a liquid-crystal-side surface of one substrate out of respective substrates which are arranged to face each other in an opposed manner with liquid crystal therebetween, wherein each pixel region includes pixel electrodes having bent portions and counter electrodes which are arranged at positions where the pixel electrodes are shifted in parallel, the pixel electrode and the counter electrode are respectively constituted of two electrodes which are overlapped to each other as an upper layer and a lower layer by way of an insulation film, and to the lower-layer side electrode of at least one electrode out of the pixel electrode and the counter electrode, projections which further project from crests of convex-portion sides of the bent portions and extend toward another electrode side are provided.
