A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material comprised of a support base having thereon a silver halide emulsion layer and an antistatic layer. The antistatic layer contains a nonionic surface active agent having two polyoxyethylene chains in a molecule, the agent being represented by the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 each represents a substituted or non-substituted alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, acyl, amido, sulfonamido, carbamoyl or sulfamoyl group, or a halogen atom, R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 each represents a hydrogen atom, a substituted or nonsubstituted alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, aryloxy, acyl, amido, sulfonamido, carbamoyl or sulfamoyl group, or a halogen atom, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 each represents a hydrogen atom, or a substituted or nonsubstituted alkyl or aryl group, wherein the sum total of carbon atoms in R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 is 2 or more, or R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 may form a ring by linking with each other, and m and n independently each represents an average degree of polymerization of ethylene oxide which is 2 to 40. The antistatic layer provides a photographic material which has excellent antistatic effects without causing undesirable effects on the photographic properties of the material. The antistatic layer does not cause screen contamination and the antistatic effects do not deteriorate with the passage of time. Particularly good results are obtained with silver halide light-sensitive materials utilized with high speed processing at a high temperature especially when the materials are of high sensitivity.

A container crane system comprises a storage area on a crane for storing containers temporarily, a main spreader adapted for conveyance of the containers between the storage area and a ship so constructed that the containers are guided by a cell guide and stowed into a hatch of the ship, and an auxiliary spreader adapted for conveyance of the containers between the storage area and a transport system prepared on the land to the rear of the crane. The main spreader is operated automatically according to operation schedules which are previously stored in a memory by a teaching operation and whose variable components are corrected during the automatic operation through a corrective (or modified) playback operation, while the auxiliary spreader is automatically operated through a programmed operation schedule.

A communication terminal device includes a terminal body which enables a communication with a radio communication network by a first radio communication, a separating member which may be separated from the terminal body and enables a communication with the terminal body by a second radio communication, a tripartite communication unit which enables a tripartite communication among the terminal body, the separating member, and the radio communication network when the separating member and the terminal body are separated, and a control unit which controls howling between the terminal body and the separating member when the separating member and the terminal body are close during the tripartite communication.
摘要:
The present invention relates to diagnostic and prognostic methods to determine the likelihood of a subject who has a inflammatory disease or liver disease of developing cancer. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for identifying subjects with increased susceptibility to developing cancer, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) where the subject has an inflammatory disease, such as, but not limited to cirrhosis, by identifying a variance or polymorphism in the human EGF gene. In particular, the methods of the present invention relate to identifying subjects with increased susceptibility to developing cancer such as HCC, where the subject has an inflammatory disease, such as but not limited to cirrhosis, and the subject is identified to have a single nucleotide polymorphism 61A>G in the 5′UTR of the EGF gene. Alternatively, the methods of the present invention relate to identifying subjects with increased susceptibility to developing cancer such as HCC, where the subject has an inflammatory disease, such as but not limited to cirrhosis, and the subject is identified to have increased expression of EGF as compared to a reference level of EGF expression. The present invention also relates to administering an effective amount of an anti-cancer therapy to subjects identified to have an increased susceptibility of developing cancer such as HCC by the methods as disclosed herein, and kits to identify a subject with a 61A>G polymorphism in the 5′UTR of the EGF gene or kits to determine increased EGF expression in subjects with chronic inflammatory disease.

A vibrator 10, which is formed in a silicon wafer 1 by means of MEMS technique, has eight beam portions (beams) 12 supported at a central portion 11 and extending in the radial direction while mutually keeping the same angle and has a ring portion 13 connected to the eight beam portions 12. Outside the ring portion 13, eight electrodes 21a to 21h for electrostatic actuation, capacitance detection, or the like are spaced uniformly with a gap 22 created between the ring portion 13 and the electrodes 21a to 21h. Inside the ring portion 13, sixteen electrodes 23 for frequency adjustment are spaced uniformly with a gap 24 created between the ring portion 13 and the electrodes 23.

This invention provides an apparatus and the like, which render an object from a predetermined view direction by a method using microfacet billboarding using 2D images obtained by photographing an object to be rendered from a plurality of photographing directions, and a depth image of the object to be rendered. This method obtains the geometrical shape of the object to be rendered on the basis of the depth image and the like, and approximates the geometrical shape using a set of microfacets whose directions change depending on the view direction. By mapping 2D images selected based on the view direction and photographing directions onto the respective microfacets as texture images, an arbitrary shaped object and landscape can be efficiently rendered.

The present invention provides an image display device in which it is possible to obtain an image display of high brightness and high contrast by preventing the halation which may be generated in a peripheral portion of a display image. By providing a carbon film which attenuates the reentry of secondary electrons, which are generated when electron beams impinge on an anodes, to a back surface of the anode, even when primary electrons impinge on the anode, the secondary electrons are hardly emitted from the anode. At the same time, a trace amount of emitted secondary electrons are mainly formed of electrons having a small energy. Hence, these emitted secondary electrons are scattered and hardly reenter the anode.
摘要:
Rupture of distance holding members, aback substrate or a front substrate attributed to atmospheric pressure is suppressed in a display device in which, between the back substrate having cathode lines and plate-member control electrodes and the front substrate, a large number of distance holding members, which maintain distance between the substrates, are mounted in an erect manner. At portions where the distance holding members are brought into contact with the back substrate and/or the front substrate, a buffering/fixing material, which is constituted of a buffering material having high resiliency and an adhesive, is interposed for dispersing the atmospheric pressure applied from the back substrate and the front substrate substantially uniformly. Further, the distance holding members are fixed between the back substrate and the front substrate by a heat treatment and a pressurizing step.
