摘要:
The present invention relates to a color-former having microcapsules which comprise an electron-donating colorless dye dispersed in a hydrophobic liquid. The present invention provides a color-former using both an electron-donating colorless dye and a hydrophobic liquid which previously were unable to be used because of the lack of solubility. A uniform and stable dispersion of electron-donating colorless dye in a hydrophobic core liquid is prepared by using oil-soluble non-ionic surfactant.

Continuous fermentation with yeast to produce alcohol is carried out by continuously passing a carbohydrate-containing substrate liquid through a vessel packed with a thin film means having yeast immobilized therein. Surfaces of the thin film means extend in the direction of flow within the vessel to provide elongated parallel passages. The thin film means occupies from 10 to 65% of the volume of the vessel and preferably has a thickness of 0.1 to 3 mm. Preferably, the thin film means is formed by mixing an aqueous yeast suspension with a photo-crosslinkable resin and subjecting the mixture to radiation to photo-crosslink the resin.

A bonding structure includes a first member, a second member and a bonding member. The first member has a plate shape and is made of a carbon-base material. The first member serves as a heat diffusion member that transfers heat at least in a thickness direction, which is perpendicular to a plane of the plate shape. The second member is bonded to the first member through the bonding member. The first member has a metal thin film at least on an opposed surface that is opposed to the second member. The bonding member is disposed between the opposed surface of the first member and the second member. The bonding member is provided by a sintered body of metal particle. For example, the bonding structure is employed in a cooling unit including a heat source.

An original scanning apparatus is described that scans an original placed on an original placing plane line by line by moving a scanning unit including a plurality of light-receiving elements that are arranged in a prescribed direction in a direction perpendicular to the prescribed direction. The original scanning apparatus includes: a pattern unit that is provided in a vicinity of a side of the rectangular original placing plane extending along a moving direction of the scanning unit; a control unit configured to calculate drive information in the moving direction per line-scanning cycle of the scanning unit based on a result of scanning the pattern unit; and a driving circuit configured to feed back the calculated drive information so as to control the scanning unit to thereby drive the scanning unit in the moving direction.

An image processor inputs coded image data, which is comprised of a plurality of resolution levels, and image processor thereafter rearranges and stores the coded image data into image memory 4 so that the resolution levels of the coded image data can be stored into a consecutive address area of the image memory 4. Thereafter DMA controller 11 reads out the coded image data stored in the image memory 4 into decoder 7 by accessing the consecutive address area of the image memory 4. The decoder 7 decodes the coded image data transferred at high speed.

A method of producing rice cybrid cells includes the steps of irradiating with X-rays to first rice protoplasts containing a first useful gene in the cytoplasm thereof to selectively destroy the nuclei thereof only; treating second rice protoplasts containing a second useful gene in the nucleus thereof with about 10 - 30 mM of iodoacetamide, about 0.1 - 0.5 mM Rhodamine 6G or about 10 - 30 mM iodoacetate to selectively deactivate the cytoplasm; and fusing the treated first and second protoplasts to form cybrid cells which have only the nucleus containing the first useful gene and have only the cytoplasm containing the second useful gene.
摘要:
A biocatalyst is immobilized with a graft product of a polymer and saponified polyvinyl acetate containing a stilbazolium group as a photo-crosslinking group. The polymer is preferably gelatin, collagen, starch, cellulose, gum arabic, tragacanth gum, carrageenan, mannan, dextrin or alginic acid. The graft product is prepared by bonding the polymer to the polyvinyl acetate, either directly through functional groups of the polymer and polyvinyl acetate or through a crosslinking agent. The polymer provides affinity for the biocatalyst and by grafting the polymer to the saponified polyvinyl acetate, damage to cells upon immobilization is reduced. A liquid composition containing a biocatalyst and the graft product is added to an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt or an organic salt to form a granular gel and the gel is irradiated with actinic rays to cure the gel.
