摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of metabolic research. Metabolic disorders, such as obesity, are a public health problem that is serious and widespread. GSSP4 polypeptides have been identified that are believed to be beneficial in the treatment of metabolic disorders. These compounds should be effective for reducing cholesterol levels, body mass, body fat, and for treating metabolic-related diseases and disorders. The metabolic-related diseases or disorders envisioned to be treated by the methods of the invention include, but are not limited to: obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, diabetes, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and hypertension.

A multi-function structure of a plug-in universal IC card is to be promoted and the manufacturing cost is to be reduced. The body of the plug-in UICC is constructed of a molding resin. A tape substrate and a chip mounted on one side of the tape substrate are sealed in the interior of the molding resin. A side opposite to the chip mounting side of the tape substrate is exposed to the exterior of the molding resin and constitutes a surface portion of the plug-in UICC. Contact patterns serving as external terminals of the plug-in UICC are formed on the surface of the tape substrate exposed to the exterior of the molding resin. In the plug-in UICC whose body is constructed of molding resin, cracking of the chip can be prevented effectively even in the case where the chip is large-sized.

A golf ball 1 has a core 2, a cover 3, a mark layer 4, and a finishing coat layer 5. An ink used for the mark layer 4 includes an isocyanate curing agent that contains a diisocyanate trimer, a base material, and a colorant. Preferred curing agent contains an isophorone diisocyanate trimer. The ink includes a diisocyanate curing agent at equal to or greater than 1% by weight and equal to or less than 20% by weight, calculated on the basis of the solid content. The base material includes a polymer having a hydroxyl group as a principal component. The “NCO/OH” value, which is a ratio of isocyanate groups of the isocyanate curing agent and hydroxyl groups of the base material, is equal to or greater than 0.5 and equal to or less than 2.0. The mark layer 4 may be printed on a base coat layer, alternatively, may be printed on a crosslinked rubber. This ink has excellent adhesiveness to a base.

A microstrip line includes a strip conductor, a line electrode, and edge electrodes provided at the edges on both sides of the line electrode. The construction of the microstrip line greatly reduces the edge effect of the line electrode and decreases the conductor loss of the line electrode.

After first, second, and third continuous members are bonded to each other in a laminated state, they are cut together to a predetermined length for thereby producing an instant photography film unit. A predetermined number of produced instant photography film units are stacked in a stacking station, and then automatically placed into a film pack in a packaging station. An overall process of manufacturing instant photography film units that are packaged is performed automatically and efficiently.

Defective sweep occurs when strong light enters, i.e., a quantity of input light increases, and smear and blooming components increase during an exposure period because a quantity of unnecessary charge to be swept during a sweep-out transfer period of a first field side exceeds a quantity of charge to be handled. The inventive image pickup system solves the above-mentioned problem by setting the sweep-out transfer period of the first field side to be longer than the sweep-out transfer period of a second field in a digital still camera which controls an exposure time by using a mechanical shutter in using as an image pickup device, a solid-state image pickup device which carries out the sweep-out transfer of transferring and sweeping charges within a vertical transfer section quickly more than transfer speed in transferring the signal charges read out from a sensor section to the vertical transfer section before reading out the signal charges from the sensor section to the vertical transfer section.

Preferably, the ratio &agr;/&bgr; between the content &agr; of the Mg vulcanized rubber powder and the content &bgr; of another vulcanized rubber powder is 1/4 to 4, and the total content &agr;+&bgr; of the vulcanized rubber powders based on 100 parts by mass of a base rubber of the core is 5 to 30 parts by mass.
摘要:
A dummy bit elimination device in a coding apparatus for use in a submarine cable system. The dummy bit elimination device has a converter for eliminating only dummy bits from FEC (Forward Error Correction) code. The coding apparatus has an optical-to-electrical signal transducer, a demultiplexer, a coder for generating an FEC code, a multiplexer for multiplexing inputs, and an electrical-to-optical signal transducer. The dummy bit elimination device is inserted between the coder and the multiplexer so that the outputs of the coder are fed to the converter and an outputs of the converter are fed to the multiplexer.

An active matrix substrate plate having superior properties is manufactured at high yield using four photolithographic fabrication steps. In step 1, the scanning line and the gate electrode extending from the scanning line are formed in the glass plate. In step 2, the gate insulation layer and the semiconductor layer comprised by amorphous silicon layer and n+ amorphous silicon layer is laminated to provide the semiconductor layer for the TFT section. In step 3, the transparent conductive layer and the metallic layer are laminated, and the signal line, the drain electrode extending from the signal line, the pixel electrode and the source electrode extending from the pixel electrode are formed, and the n+ amorphous silicon layer of the channel gap is removed by etching. In step 4, the protective insulation layer is formed, and the protective insulation layer and the metal layer above the pixel electrode are removed by etching.

A pressure detecting apparatus has a single-crystal semiconductor sensor chip disposed on a metallic diaphragm through a low melting point glass. The sensor chip has a planar shape selected from a circular shape, a first polygonal shape having more than five sides and having interior angles all less than 180°, and a second polygonal shape having a ratio of a circumscribed circle diameter relative to an inscribed circle diameter being less than 1.2. Four strain gauge resistors are disposed on X, Y axes passing through a center point O of the sensor chip in parallel with directions. Accordingly, thermal stress is reduced not to adversely affect a detection error and simultaneously high sensitivity is provided.
