摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide IL-8 production promoters derived from safe food materials and to provide immunostimulants or preventive or treating agents of infectious disease comprising the IL-8 production promoter. The present inventors have found that a composition comprising, as an active ingredient, at least one plant extract from peppermint, dokudami (houttuynia herb), or licorice promotes IL-8 production, and that a composition comprising, as an active ingredient, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of α-humulene, α-pinene, β-pinene, and L-menthol promotes IL-8 production. These IL-8 production promoters can be used in foods and drinks supplemented with immunostimulants or preventive or treating agents of infectious disease.

A radiation-sensitive resin composition includes a resin that includes a repeating unit shown by the following formula (1) and a solvent. The radiation-sensitive resin composition has an excellent performance as a radiation-sensitive acid generator, includes a resin that adversely affects the environment and a human body to only a small extent, and can form a resist film that has a high resolution and forms an excellent resist pattern. wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or the like, M+ represents a specific cation, and n represents an integer from 1 to 5.
摘要:
An uneven surface portion is formed on the inner surface of a lamp holder to thereby reduce the contact area between the inner surface of the lamp holder and a light incident face of a light guide plate. The light incident face of the light guide plate and the inner surface of the lamp holder are prevented from coming into close contact with each other due to heat transferring from cold-cathode fluorescent tubes and to the light guide plate. The heat transferring via the lamp holder to the light guide plate is intercepted by an air layer occurring between the uneven surface portion of the lamp holder and the light incident face of the light guide plate. Accordingly, it can be prevented that a part of the lamp holder sticks to the light incident face of the light guide plate of the backlight when the lamp holder is replaced.

An area image sensor (1) includes a plurality of image pick-up elements (10, 20) arranged in a matrix including a plurality of element rows and a plurality of element columns. A plurality of signal lines (L11-L14) are allocated to a respective one of the element columns. Each of the signal lines includes an output terminal to which an A/D converter (30) is connected. Each of the image pick-up elements belonging to the one element column is connected to only one of the signal lines, and each of the signal lines is connected to at least one of the image pick-up elements belonging to the one element column.
摘要:
In view of conventional circumstances where a surface pressure distribution sensor has poor reproducibility when mass-produced, so it has been desired to stabilize sensing properties, to secure reliability, and to improve productivity and yield, the invention achieves stabilizing sensing properties, securing reliability, and improving productivity and yield by optimizing the size of the flow barrier provided inside the sealing agent and the gap, the material and location of the contact, and the tension of the common electrode film.
