Abstract: A therapeutic agent for interstitial pneumonia is provided which effectively exploits the effect of superoxide dismutase (SOD). The therapeutic composition for interstitial pneumonia contains 10 to 100 mg of lecithinized superoxide dismutase represented by the following general formula (I): SOD?(Q-B)m ??(I) (wherein SOD? is a residue of superoxide dismutase; Q is a chemical crosslink; B is a residue of lysolecithin having the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group at position 2 of its glycerol moiety removed; and m is the average number of lysolecithin molecules bound to one molecule of the superoxide dismutase and is an integer of 1 or greater) and further contains sucrose to give it a stable form suitable for intravenous administration.

Abstract: The invention provides a portable telephone set wherein a countermeasure can be taken against a bug of software by a user without the necessity for voluntary recovery by a maker. The portable telephone set has a hardware configuration which allows a user of the portable telephone set to perform an operation of downloading a modification portion of software from the outside such as a network and rewriting the software with the same. In this instance, the rewriting is performed not for the entire memory (ROM) space of the portable telephone set, but the software is divided and disposed into different blocks of the memory (ROM) space and the rewriting is performed in a unit of a block.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a device main body, card controller, and device controller. The use of the device main is permitted by inserting an authentic user identification card on which personal information of a holder is recorded. The card controller detects removal/insertion of the user identification card from/into the device main body during a power-off state. The device controller displays a warning representing removal/insertion of the card on the basis of the detection result of the card controller in power-on operation. A unique information management method for the electronic device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A connected apparatus detection system for externally transmitting and receiving information of an information apparatus by means of a communication function of a communication apparatus, with the communication apparatus and the information apparatus connected, in which a signal line for use in the connection between the communication apparatus and the information apparatus includes an external apparatus connection detection line for transmitting and receiving a connection detection signal indicating whether the communication apparatus and the information apparatus are connected or not, the information apparatus has a function of transmitting an identification signal indicative of information which specifies a kind of the information apparatus through the external apparatus connection detection line, and the communication apparatus has a function of receiving the identification signal to change setting of the communication apparatus into setting contents adapted to the information apparatus.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a resin-sealed semiconductor device includes the steps of: supporting and fixing a supporting plate in a set of molds using a positioning pin with a sharp pin point which is inserted into the molds to have a predetermined clearance from the supporting plate; injecting a sealing resin 11 into a cavity formed in the molds; and removing the positioning pin from the molds after the sealing resin 11 hardens. This method increases the life of the positioning pin, facilitates the removal of a semiconductor device from the molds, and achieves a semiconductor device with good insulation.
