Abstract:
Methods and compositions for staining based upon nucleic acid sequence that employ nucleic acid probes are provided. Said methods produce staining patterns that can be tailored for specific cytogenetic analyses. Said probes are appropriate for in situ hybridization and stain both interphase and metaphase chromosomal material with reliable signals. The nucleic acid probes are typically of a complexity greater than 50 kb, the complexity depending upon the cytogenetic application. Methods and reagents are provided for the detection of genetic rearrangements. Probes and test kits are provided for use in detecting genetic rearrangements, particularly for use in tumor cytogenetics, in the detection of disease related loci, specifically cancer, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), retinoblastoma, ovarian and uterine cancers, and for biological dosimetry. Methods and reagents are described for cytogenetic research, for the differentiation of cytogenetically similar but genetically different diseases, and for many prognostic and diagnostic applications.
Abstract:
A gasket is capable of providing an excellent slidabiity and holding its sealability without applying lubricant and a gasket that can prevent a resin film from being peeled off of a gasket body and prevent the generation of a molding defect such as pinholes. The gasket can be installed slidably in a outer tube of a syringe, including a gasket body and a resin film formed of a material lower in coefficient of friction than a material of the gasket body, which covers at least an outer periphery of the gasket body, in which when a surface roughness of the resin film on the outer tube side is defined as Ra1 and a surface roughness of the resin film on the gasket body side is defined as Ra2, a relationship of 1.5 Ra1≦Ra2 is satisfied.

Abstract:
A filter making apparatus includes a positioning device having a passageway therethrough, with the passageway guiding a continuous flavor element such as a continuous strand of textile material from an inlet of the passageway to an outlet of the passageway. A liquid flavorant is introduced into the passageway at a desired flow rate and the strand of material carries the supplied liquid flavorant out of the positioning device at a rate substantially equal to the desired flow rate. A portion of the passageway can form a bath of the liquid flavorant supplied to the passageway through a separate inlet at approximately atmospheric pressure. A portion of the positioning device guides the continuous strand of material through the bath, or guides the strand to pass along the bottom of the passageway, and the saturated or partially saturated strand of material then exits from an outlet of the passageway to a point in the path of filter tow material that is being converged to form a filter rod.
Abstract:
A diffusing film comprises a transparent resin in which scatterers are dispersed. The difference between the refractive index of the transparent resin and that of the scatterers is in the range of 0.04 to 1.5. The scatterers are flat particles having sizes of 0.1 to 50 μm.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a planographic printing plate precursor comprising a photosensitive layer on a support, the photosensitive layer including an infrared absorbent, a radical polymerization initiator and a radical polymerizing compound, the photosensitive layer being recordable with irradiation with an infrared ray, and being at least one of soluble and dispersible in water.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a tire for a two-wheeled motorized vehicle and more particularly a motorcycle.Such a tire comprises at least one carcass-type reinforcement structure, formed of reinforcement elements forming with the circumferential direction an angle of between 65° and 90°, anchored on either side of the tire to a bead whose base is intended to be fitted on a rim seat, each bead being extended radially towards the outside by a sidewall, the sidewalls meeting up, radially towards the outside, with a tread whose Ht/Wt ratio is greater than 0.15, said carcass reinforcement being radially surmounted at least in the zone of the tread by a crown reinforcement formed of at least one layer of circumferential reinforcement elements. According to the invention, said circumferential reinforcement elements are distributed in the transverse direction with a variable pitch such that said pitch is smaller at the centre (crown) of the tread than at the edges of said layer and such that the value of the pitch in the transverse direction follows an increasing mathematical progression over at least part of the axial width of said layer.
Abstract:
A new and distinct Cotoneaster dammeri cultivar is provided which unlike previously known cultivars displays very good tolerance to fire blight (Erwinia amylovora). The foliage is attractive dense medium green and is semi-glossy on the upper surface and dull and pubescent on the under surface. A creeping growth habit with erect branching is displayed. Good cold tolerance has been observed. The new cultivar is well suited for use as an improved attractive low-growing ornamental ground cover.
Abstract:
A new and distinct variety of Berberis thunbergii plant is provided that was the result of controlled breeding. A dwarf, generally compact, broad, and low-mounding growth habit is displayed. New foliage bears a bright red-purple coloration, and the mature foliage displays attractive variegation. The margins of the mature foliage are golden and the center is dark burgundy. A rapid growth rate between internodes of relatively short length is displayed. The plant is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in the landscape.
Abstract:
An occupant weight detecting apparatus for detecting an occupant weight on a seat includes a load sensor mounted on the seat to detect a load on the seat and output a load signal. A detected load value is calculated periodically based on the load signal and an average is calculated based on the detected load values calculated during a period in which the detected load value is less than a first predetermined. The average of the detected load values is set to a zero point, and the occupant weight is detected based on the detected load value and the zero point when the detected load value exceeds a second predetermined value.
