摘要:
The present invention is to provide a printing apparatus capable of correctly detecting an origin of a conveying roller for conveying a print medium at the time of its rotation with a simple configuration that does not accompany an increase of cost. For this purpose, the printing apparatus is equipped with a lock mechanism (a lock link lever) for stopping rotation of the conveying roller at a predetermined rotational position and saves a count value of a rotation amount of the conveying roller when the conveying roller is locked by the lock mechanism concerned as origin information. After this, driving of the conveying roller is controlled based on the saved origin information and a phase of rotation of the conveying roller obtained from the count value of the conveying roller.

A recording apparatus includes a conveying roller and an ejection roller for conveying a recording medium. The recording apparatus also includes a controller which controls the conveying roller and the ejection roller. The controller selectively performs a conveyance control process for the rollers when the recording medium leaves the conveying roller.

An ink jet printing apparatus that can print high quality images under simple control includes a conveying roller disposed upstream of a printing section to convey a print medium, a pinch roller that rotates in cooperation with the conveying roller and discharging rollers that convey the print medium downstream of the printing section. The pinch roller, before a trailing end of the print medium reaches a nip portion between the conveying roller and the pinch roller, moves from a pressure contact position with respect to the conveying roller. A conveyance amount of the print medium varies between before and after separation of the pinch roller from the conveying roller.

The present invention provides anti-aPC antibodies that suppress the inactivation of activated protein C (aPC), and uses thereof. The present inventors screened anti-aPC antibodies, and succeeded in isolating anti-aPC antibodies comprising the activity of suppressing aPC inactivation in blood. The antibodies of the present invention can be used to maintain aPC activity by suppressing aPC inactivation, and can thus be used to sustain aPC bioactivities, such as the activity of suppressing activation of the blood coagulation system, and anti-inflammatory activity. In addition, the present invention provides uses of the antibodies of the present invention in aPC therapy for diseases such as thrombosis and sepsis. The therapeutic effect of aPC can be prolonged in treatment that uses aPC administration by allowing an antibody of the present invention to bind with aPC. The antibodies of the present invention can be used in the treatment and prevention of diseases such as thrombosis and sepsis.

In a printing apparatus which prints using a printhead, a printing controller for feedback-controlling driving of a motor includes a control information generation unit which generates control information for a driving torque of the motor on the basis of a first driving pattern, a comparison unit which compares the control information and a threshold for determining an overload on driving of the motor, and a setting unit which sets a second driving pattern for changing a load on driving of the motor by the control information, instead of the first driving pattern, on the basis of the comparison result of the comparison unit. Control of the motor is switched in accordance with the load state.

A conveyance apparatus increases the conveyance precision of a conveyance unit. The conveyance apparatus has first and second conveyance rollers. The conveyance apparatus includes a DC motor serving as a driving source for the conveyance rollers, a first encoder which outputs a first pulse signal in accordance with rotation of the first conveyance roller, a second encoder which outputs a second pulse signal in accordance with rotation of the second conveyance roller, and a control unit having a first mode in which the DC motor is controlled based on first information about the first pulse signal when executing a conveyance operation to convey a sheet by using the first and second conveyance rollers, and a second mode in which the DC motor is controlled based on second information about the second pulse signal when executing a conveyance operation to convey a sheet by using the second conveyance roller.

Pharmaceutical compositions for prevention or treatment of diseases caused by interleukin-6 production, comprising an antibody to interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R antibody). As the IL-6R antibody, an antibody of animals other than the human such as mice, rats, etc., a chimeric antibody between these and a human antibody, a reshaped human antibody, etc. may be used. The pharmaceutical compositions are useful for prevention or treatment of diseases caused by interleukin-6 production such as plasmacytosis, anti-IgGl-emia, anemia, nephritis, etc.

Disclosed is a recording apparatus that helps to achieve a reduction in size and cost. The recording apparatus has a U-turn sheet feeding mechanism for reversing and feeding a recording medium and a duplex transport mechanism for reversing the recording medium and performing printing on both sides thereof, in which the same transport path serves as a transport path for transporting the recording medium from a U-turn sheet feeding roller to a main transport roller for transporting the recording medium to a printing portion and as a transport path for reversal in duplex transport. Further, a transport roller provided in the transport path from the U-turn sheet feeding roller to the main transport roller for transporting the recording medium to the printing portion is the same as a transport roller for duplex transport. A single transport roller serves both as the U-turn transport roller and as the duplex transport roller.

A drug and a biodegradable polymer having at least one carboxyl group are encapsulated into nanoparticle which is formed by a block copolymer having a hydrophilic segment and a hydrophobic segment. This invention thus provides a drug-encapsulated nanoparticle which shows an increased in vivo drug-stability.
