摘要:
A method for preparing a xanthohumol-rich hop composition. The method includes providing a solution that contains xanthohumol-containing hop substances and effecting precipitation of non-xanthohumol hop substances by adjusting both the salt concentration and pH value of the solution. The xanthohumol-rich hop composition prepared by this method can be used for treating various diseases, e.g., skin disorders, and bacterial infection.

Provided is a license management system comprising: a license check device that independently operates on a platform; and an information processing device that is connected to the license check device, in which the license check device includes: a license check unit that checks for presence or absence of a license of the information processing device; a first start unit that starts the license check unit in response to a call instructed by the platform; and a calling unit that calls, when the license check unit determines that the license is present, the information processing device, and in which the information processing device includes: an information processing unit that performs a specific information processing; and a second start unit that starts the information processing unit only in response to the call from the license check device.
摘要:
The inventors discovered that the adhesion molecule CAR, known to be localized in intracellular adhesion sites, functioned as an adhesion molecule for activated lymphocytes. Further, the inventors identified CARL, a novel CAR ligand expressed in lymphocytes, and clarified that the ligand was expressed selectively in Th1 cells. In addition, they found that anti-CAR antibodies could inhibit the adhesion of activated lymphocytes to CAR molecules. Thus, the present invention provides methods for detecting Th1 cells using CAR or anti-CARL antibodies, and methods of screening for inhibitors suppressing the adhesion of Th1 cells using the binding between CAR and CARL as an index. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods of screening for inhibitors of the binding between CAR and CARL, antibodies that inhibit the binding between CAR and CARL, and therapeutic compositions comprising these antibodies. These are expected to be useful in diagnosing diseases, such as inflammation, in which infiltration of Th1 cells is involved, and in providing pharmaceutical agents for alleviating such diseases.

摘要:
When a processing delay detection unit (27) detects that an end timing (F) of measurement of the reception quality of a common pilot signal transmitted from a wireless base station has delayed from a creation start time limit for reception quality information, approximate reception quality information (k) is created on the basis of reception quality measured before the creation start time limit. The approximate reception quality information is transmitted to a wireless base station. The delay of the transmission timing of the reception quality information can be prevented, and the wireless base station can quickly set the transmission rate of transmission data to a cellular phone.
摘要:
A passive element circuit is formed by a spiral inductor, a high-dielectric-constant thin-film capacitor, a via hole, and a bonding pad. By using SrTiO.sub.3 as the high-dielectric-constant thin-film, which exhibits a dielectric constant of 200 up to a frequency of 20 GHz, it is possible to achieve a reduction of the capacitor surface area to approximately 1/30 of the area formerly required when using a SiN.sub.x (dielectric constant up to 6.5). Two high-dielectric-constant thin-film capacitors, a via hole for grounding, and a bonding pad are disposed at the center, which are surrounded by the spiral inductor. To connect the two high-dielectric-constant thin-film capacitors are joined in series, they are formed on one high-dielectric-constant thin-film. A lead from the spiral inductor is made by a metal wire from the bonding pad at the center.
