摘要:
This invention relates to a hematopoietic stem cell proliferating agent comprising IGF-I, a hematopoietic stem cell proliferating agent comprising IGF-I and at least one protein selected from among SCF, M-CSF, and G-CSF, and a method of growing hematopoietic stem cells which comprises culturing hematopoietic stem cells in a medium containing IGF-I and at least one protein selected from the group consisting of SCF and M-CSF.The hematopoietic stem cell proliferating agent of the invention causes hematopoietic stem cells to proliferate in the undifferentiated state whether in vivo or in vitro and can, therefore, be used for amelioration of the cytopenia induced by radiotherapy or chemotherapy using anticancer drugs, prevention of infectious diseases associated with lymphopenia, or in vitro culture for multiplication of hematopoietic stem cells and extrasomatic culture of recombinant stem cells in gene therapy.

A holding mechanism 10 for holding an ink ribbon 20 includes a transparent shell 11 and a board 12. The transparent shell 11 of the ink ribbon 20 is provided with wind slack preventive portions 11a to 11d which prevent rotations of a feed bobbin 21 and reel bobbin 22, and wind meandering preventive portions 11e, 11f which bears down an axial end 23a of a film 23. The ink ribbon 20 can be stably held by the holding mechanism 10 during a transportation and a loading thereof. The transparent shell 11 is provided with support portions 11g, 11f which improve a stability when loading.
摘要:
An information recording medium comprising a substrate having a recording surface provided with emboss pits or guiding grooves, a reflective film formed on the recording surface of the substrate, and a first protective film formed on the reflective film. This information recording medium is featured in that both sides of the information recording medium are constituted by a first surface provided with the protective film and by a second surface formed opposite to the first surface, and that an irradiated light beam is irradiated through the first surface, a recorded information being reproduced based on changes in light intensity of the reflected light beam. The distance between the recording surface of the substrate and the light incident surface is smaller than a thickness of the substrate, and a surface roughness "R" of the light incident surface meets a relationship represented by the following formula (1):R.ltoreq..lambda./(8n) (1)wherein .lambda. is a wavelength of the light beam, and n is a refractive index of the first protective film to a light having the wavelength .lambda..

According to this invention, in reproducing data recorded on a recording medium, reproduction of the data is limited on the basis of the distribution order, regional limitations such as different principles, different values, and regulation of morals, and time limitations which are recorded on the recording medium. Accordingly, when data recorded on a recording medium is reproduced, reproduction of the data can be limited based on limitations recorded on the recording medium.
摘要:
A power supply apparatus for an electric discharge machine comprises a first power supply device comprising a high impedance circuit connected in series to a DC power supply unit and a second power supply device comprising a low impedance circuit, intermittently applies a pulse voltage to a space between a tool electrode and a workpiece opposite to the tool electrode with a specified gap therebetween from the first power supply device, and also supplies a machining current to the space from the second power supply device after generation of electric discharge, in which the second power supply device provides therein a plurality units of switching devices connected in parallel to each other, the number of ON-units switching circuit for controlling the number of switching devices to be simultaneously turned ON, and an ON-time control unit for variably controlling ON-time of the switching devices.
摘要:
A wire-cut electric discharge machining apparatus and a control method for the wire-cut EDM apparatus. The amount of current pulses supplied to a machining gap can be measured precisely without a detection delay to thereby detect the occurrence of faulty machining such as wire electrode breakage and centralized arcs.
摘要:
A bonding device and bonding process for a surface skin member of a vehicle interior component which can reliably fold back and secure a peripheral part of a surface skin member onto the reverse surface of a core member without involving any positional deviation between the core member and the surface skin member even when the width of the peripheral part is small. A block of elastic material is used for a lower die for mounting a surface skin member in a bonding station, and slide bars are arranged around the lower die in a peripheral part folding back station disposed adjacent to the bonding station for provisionally shaping the peripheral part of the surface skin member. Further, vertically moveable bars are arranged around an upper die for mounting the core member thereon for pressing the peripheral part of the surface skin member which has been provisionally shaped against the reverse surface of the core member.
摘要:
An electric discharge machining apparatus of the travelling wire or sink type includes at least one secondary electrode which is immersed in the dielectric at least during machining. A microvoltage power supply is used to create a micropotential difference between the workpiece and the secondary electrode so that the workpiece becomes a negative pole. Maintaining this arrangement both during machining and non-machining times prevents the workpiece from being subjected to positive-pole oxidation.

A loud-speaker telephone set includes a switching control circuit to attenuate the incoming signal, during transmission, and to attenuate the outgoing signal, during reception, in order to prevent feedback from the loud-speaker to the microphone. An automatic gain control circuit is added which detects at least one of the incoming signal level and the outgoing signal level and which adjusts the attenuation of both the incoming and outgoing signals so as to reduce the attenuation change between reception and transmission below 20 dB and eliminate the unpleasant sensation, to a user, of large attenuation changes.
