摘要:
An improved apparatus for cutting an enveloped body, which consists of an assembly having at least three circumferentially disposed cutting members, each cutting member having at least two sliding surfaces. The cutting members are assembled in sliding contact with each other such that the sliding surfaces of adjacent cutting members are slidable along each other so as to form or close a central opening surrounded by the cutting members. The opening is opened and closed for cutting the enveloped body passing therethrough. One sliding surface of a cutting member forms a convex surface, and the other sliding surface forms a concave surface complementary to the convex surface, so that the convex surface of a cutting member slides on the concave surface of an adjacent cutting member.

In an inkjet printing apparatus capable of automatic duplex printing, time required to fix ink is shortened and throughput is improved without producing uneven fixing. The inkjet printing apparatus includes a printing unit that prints onto a sheet, a fixing unit that heats a sheet printed by the printing unit, a conveying unit that conveys a sheet with respect to the printing unit and the fixing unit, and a controller that controls the conveying unit such that a printing region of a sheet printed on the first side by the printing unit passes through the fixing unit, and afterwards, the conveyance direction of the sheet is reversed in order to print on the second side and the printing region once again passes through the fixing unit. The controller variably controls the conveyance speed of the sheet when the printing region once again passes through the fixing unit.

An execution log generation apparatus generates an execution log upon receiving, for each job operation, job operation data indicating content of a job operation performed in a job procedure from a job processing apparatus that performs job processes through job procedures. The execution log generation apparatus includes a definition file holding unit that holds a definition file in which job operations performed in the job procedures are defined along a flow of the job processes and the job procedures, and in which output items to be output as execution logs for the each job operation are listed in a common format; and an execution log output unit that selects, from the definition file, an output item corresponding to a job operation contained in the job operation data, and outputs, as an execution log, the same output item as the selected output item from the job operation data.

An objective of the present invention is to provide polynucleotides encoding insect desiccation resistance proteins, and uses thereof cDNA libraries were produced from Polypedilum vanderplanki larvae in a desiccated state, a P. vanderplanki EST database was constructed, and genes encoding LEA proteins were isolated. This resulted in the successful isolation of three types of novel gene encoding LEA-like proteins (PvLEA1, PvLEA2, and PvLEA3.) When secondary structure predictions and motif searches were performed on the proteins deduced from each of the genes, all three proteins had α-helix-rich structures and LEA_4 motifs, which are characteristic of LEA proteins. Moreover, the recombinant proteins synthesized from PvLEA1, 2 and 3 genes were heat soluble even when boiling, so that PvLEA1, 2 and 3 proteins have highly hydrophilic property as well as plant LEA proteins. Therefore, the three isolated genes were found to be novel P. vanderplanki-derived LEA genes. Furthermore, introduction of these PvLEA 1, 2 and 3 genes into animal cells successfully conferred desiccation resistance to the cells. The present invention provides the first example of LEA genes isolated from insects.

Disclosed is a polythiourethane having a high refractive index and low dispersion which is obtained through a reaction between a polythiol component containing one or more polythiocarbonate polythiol (preferably one having a —(CO—S—R—S)— structure (wherein R represents a divalent hydrocarbon group) and a number average molecular weight of 200-2,500) and a polyisocyanate component containing a polyisocyanate and/or a polyisothiocyanate. This polythiourethane is useful for plastic lenses, prisms, optical fibers, substrates for information recording, colored filters, infrared absorbing filters and the like.
摘要:
There are provided trehalose transporter gene and a method of introducing trehalose into cells by using the gene. Candidates for the trehalose transporter genes were searched in P. vanderplanki EST, resulting in being obtained cDNA designated as Tret1. Tret1 encodes a 504 amino acid protein with 12 trans-membrane structures. Tret1 expression was induced by desiccation stress and predominant in the fat body. Functional expression of TRET1 in Xenopus oocytes showed that transport activity was specific for trehalose and independent of extracellular pH and electrochemical membrane potential. The direction of transport of TRET1 was reversible depending on the concentration gradient of trehalose. Apparent Km and Vmax of TRET1 for trehalose were extraordinarily high values. These results indicate that TRET1 is a facilitated, high-capacity trehalose-specific transporter. Tret1 is widespread in insects. Furthermore, TRET1 conferred trehalose permeability upon cells including those of vertebrates as well as insects.
摘要:
A variable valve timing control apparatus of an internal combustion engine includes a phase change mechanism configured to control engine valve timing by changing a relative angular phase between a timing sprocket and a camshaft by braking torque application via an electromagnetic brake. A flow control valve is arranged downstream of an oil supply passage that supplies cooling oil into an inside of the phase change mechanism. The flow control valve includes a valve element configured to control a flow rate of the oil supplied into the inside of the phase change mechanism, by changing an opening area of a valve bore communicating the oil supply passage by way of an advancing/retreating motion of the valve element in the valve bore, and a temperature-sensitive member configured to create the advancing/retreating motion of the valve element responsively to a temperature of the oil.
摘要:
In a structure with a variable valve timing mechanism which varies an opening-and-closing timing of an intake valve and/or an exhaust valve due to a rotational phase of a camshaft with respect to a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine being varied, the rotational phase is detected in an arbitrary timing regardless of a rotational period of the camshaft, and the variable valve timing mechanism is controlled on the basis of the detected rotational phase.
