Abstract:
A shrinkage prevention agent for water washing of clothing that would conventionally have been dry cleaned. The shrinkage prevention agent is compromised of a steam or vacuum dry-distilled liquid of two or more plants selected from sagebrush, beefsteak plant, tea, plantaginales, aloe, chrysanthemum, pine, cedar, cypress. The shrinkage prevention agent is used in a wet cleaning system that includes water washing.
Abstract:
An anisotropically electroconductive adhesive to be used for establishing electric connection between terminals of, for example, an IC chip and of a circuit pattern, at a low cost with high reliabilities both in the establishment of electric connection and in the insulation upon the connection without suffering from short-circuiting between circuit lines in the circuit and without causing any obstruction on the circuit, even when the terminals or the circuit lines are disposed at close intervals, which adhesive comprises an electrically insulating adhesive matrix and electroconductive particles dispersed in the matrix, wherein the electroconductive particles comprise at least two electroconductive particulate products of different average particle sizes and wherein each particle of both the particulate products is coated with an electrically insulating resin insoluble in the insulating adhesive matrix.
Abstract:
A method for determination of optical properties of light scattering material, includes calculating temporal changes in output light intensity with respect to a large number of combinations of reduced scattering coefficients .mu.s' and absorption coefficients .mu.a of a light-scattering material sample, storing the results, irradiating the sample with picosecond pulses of light and measuring temporal changes in the intensity of light coming out from the sample. When a measured temporal change in output light intensity is the same as or similar to a stored temporal change in intensity, the reduced scattering coefficient .mu.s' and absorption coefficient .mu.a of the stored temporal change in output light intensity are determined as the .mu.s' and .mu.a of the sample.
Abstract:
Decarbamylases are provided capable of producing D-.alpha.-amino acids by hydrolysis of N-carbamyl-D-.alpha.-amino acids. A source of the decarbamylases is recombinant microorganisms produced by gene manipulation methods. Decarbamylases having improved thermostability can be obtained in which amino acids at a thermostability-related site of a natural decarbamylase have been replaced with other amino acids by mutating a DNA fragment encoding the natural decarbamylase. Recombinant DNA is obtained from a vector DNA and a DNA fragment encoding a natural decarbamylase where the nucleic acid sequence encoding an amino acid at a thermostability-related site is replaced with a nucleic acid sequence encoding another amino acid. The recombinant DNA is used to produce transformants that produce thermostable decarbamylases. The decarbamylases may be immobilized in purified, partially-purified or crude form or in the form of decarbamylase-containing microbial cells on a support such as a polymer having ion exchange groups or covalent bonding groups. The presence of an antioxidant such as dithiothreitol results in an immobilized decarbamylase preparation that can be repeatedly used 30 times or more.

The equipment includes an endless belt mechanism having a moving surface for the user (runner) to walk or run on, a driving mechanism for driving the endless belt mechanism to move the moving belt surface at a speed in accordance with a control signal supplied externally, a position detector for detecting the user's position on the moving belt surface, and a controller for performing a control action combining a proportional control action and an integral control action in parallel in accordance with the user's position on the moving belt surface detected by the position detector as the controlled variable, and generating a control signal supplied externally to the driving mechanism and sending the control signal to the driving mechanism.
Abstract:
A highly thermostable polypeptide possessing protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) activity, a gene coding for the polypeptide and a process for producing the polyeptide are provided. The polypeptide possessing PDI activity is characterized by A) having a capability of catalyzing a disulfide exchange in proteins, B) recognizing mainly ribonuclease A as a substrate, C) having a suitable active temperature of 20.degree. to 70.degree. C., D) being stable at a pH value of 6 to 9, and E) having a molecular weight of about 60,000 to 62,000. Since it has a higher thermostability and exhibits a stable activity in a wider dithiothreitol concentration range as compared with the conventional PDI, it is possible to provide a novel enzyme active protein which can be advantageously used for a refolding reaction of certain proteins. Further, a process which enables the polylpeptide possessing PDI activity to be efficiently produced using Humicola insolens or a transformant transformed with an expression vector containing the above-described gene is also provided.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus comprising a laser beam radiating unit utilized as a light source, and an optical system that the surface of an original reflects a laser beam radiated from the radiating unit to project an image reflected from the original onto a photosensitive member. In this apparatus, an image is formed selectively in a print mode so that an image results from turning on and off the laser beam, in a copy mode that a copy of an original results from exposure of the photosensitive member to the laser beam reflected from the surface of an original or in a composite mode that a composite image is formed of a copy of an original and an image resulting from turning on and off the laser beam. Further, this apparatus comprises a projection lens unit for projecting an image reflected from an original onto the photosensitive member. The laser beam transmitting through the lens unit is scanned in the direction perpendicular to the main scanning direction, and altering the scanning speed and position of the lens unit results in various magnifications of an image.
