Disclosed is a novel marker for an arteriosclerotic disease. Also disclosed is a method for evaluating the presence or level of an arteriosclerotic disease in a mammal, or a method for evaluating the prophylactic or therapeutic effect on an arteriosclerotic disease in a mammal, which is characterized by detecting a soluble LR11 in a sample collected from the mammal.

A common-mode choke coil has induction immunity characteristics that are improved by a coil structure preventing a transmitter IC and a receiver IC from malfunctioning during an induction immunity test and which controls a decrease in ESD resistance and a decrease in self-resonance frequency. The common-mode choke coil includes a core, external electrodes, a pair of coils, and a top plate. The core includes a core section and a pair of flange sections. The pair of coils are wound around the core section of the core, and the ends of the coils are connected to the external electrodes, respectively. An underside and a side surface of the top plate are plated with a metal film, and bonded to the top surfaces of the flange sections preferably by an adhesive agent. The metal film is segmented into two separate portions so as to define two separate metal sections with a gap therebetween so that the metal sections are electrically disconnected.

An embodiment of a method of hashing an address space to a plurality of storage servers begins with a first step of dividing the address space by a number of the storage servers to form data segments. Each data segment comprises a base address. A second step assigns the data segments to the storage servers according to a sequence. The method continues with a third step of measuring a load on each of the storage servers. According to an embodiment, the method concludes with a fourth step of adjusting data shares assigned to the storage servers according to the sequence to approximately balances the loads on the storage servers while maintaining the base address for each data segment on an originally assigned storage server. According to another embodiment, the method periodically performs the third and fourth steps to maintain an approximately balanced load on the storage servers.

A split-type sliding bearing, for a crankshaft in an internal combustion engine, is comprised of a pair of semi-cylindrical bearings which are fitted between a pair of housing halves having respectively high and low thermal expansion coefficients and constituting a split-type bearing housing, one of the pair of semi-cylindrical bearings being supported on the housing half having a low thermal expansion coefficient, and the other one of the pair of semi-cylindrical bearings being supported on the housing have having a high thermal expansion coefficient. The circumferential end zones of the semi-cylindrical bearing supported on the housing half having a high thermal expansion coefficient have a thickness which is set to be greater than that of the circumferential end zones of the semi-cylindrical supported on the housing half having a low thermal expansion coefficient. The split-type sliding bearing can solve the problem of occurrence of a stepped difference which is caused at the inner surface of the bearing between the abutting end faces of the pair of semi-cylindrical bearings when the temperature of the split-type bearing housing is increased during operation of the internal combustion.

An image forming device comprises a document image capturing unit 11 for reading a document and capturing a document image; an advertisement image memory unit 32 for storing advertisement images to be printed in addition to the document image; a first color setting unit 22 for a user to set a color specified by the user as the color for the main image; a second color setting unit 24 for coloring an advertisement image with a color different from the first color setting unit 22; a composing unit 27 for composing an advertisement image in the marginal regions of a document image; and a printing unit 15 for printing the image composed by the composing unit 27 on recording paper.
摘要:
The present invention comprises a combined image generating unit 24 which reduces each document images and generates a combined image, so that multiple document images captured by a document image capturing unit 11 fit on a single sheet of printing paper in accord with the type of combined printing selected by a user via an operation unit 13; a printing control unit 25 which extracts marginal regions demarcating document images from the combined image, combines the combined image and advertisement image so that the advertisement image is displayed lengthwise to the marginal region, and generates an output image; and a printing unit 15 which prints the output image on printing paper.
