Abstract: The present invention relates to an optic nerve protecting agent containing an anti-low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) antibody or an anti-LRP1 antibody fragment.

Abstract: To allow a worker to visually recognize information for assisting transportation of a transport object and the transport object at the same time. A guidance system includes a guidance device and a controller. The guidance device has a display portion. The controller stores information of a target position of a transport object. The controller calculates a detected position which is a current position of the transport object based on a detection result of a detection portion, and further calculates a position deviation which is a deviation of the detected position from a target position. The display portion displays information of the position deviation.

Abstract: The present invention provides an agent for improving mental disorders due to cerebral dysfunction and an agent for inhibiting vascular hyperpermeability each containing a hepatocyte growth factor. The agent for improving mental disorders according to the present invention is useful in improving mental disorders, particularly decline in learning and memory function, due to cerebral dysfunction occurred in blood circulation disorders in the brain (for example, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, lacunar stroke, Biswanger's disease, cerebral thrombosis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebrovascular moyamoya disease, carotid cerebral arterial fibrous muscular plasia, cerebral arterial sclerosis, internal carotid artery occlusion, hypertensive encephalopathy, cerebral edema, etc.) and neurodegenerative disorders (for example, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Parkinson'syndrome, Huntington's chorea, cerebrovascular dementia and Alzheimer dementia), epilepsy, head injury, etc.

Abstract: A process for producing a polyester sheet by dropping a molten polyester sheet extruded from an orifice-form nozzle on a cooling roll having the grooves of a large number of micro-cracks formed on the surface, closely adhering it to the cooling roll and solidifying it on the cooling roll, wherein the surface temperature (T, ° C.) of the molten polyester sheet 10 mm below the orifice-form nozzle is maintained at a temperature which satisfies the following expression (1): (Tc+20)° C.≦T≦(Tm+40)° C.  (1) wherein Tc and Tm are the falling temperature crystallization temperature (° C.) and melting point (° C.) of the polyester, respectively and T is as defined hereinabove, and the surface temperature of the cooling roll when it contacts the molten polyester sheet is controlled to a range of 5 to 100° C.

Abstract: A process for producing a biaxially oriented polyester film including the steps of causing a molten aromatic polyester which contains naphthalene-2,6-dicarboxylatic acid as a main dicarboxylic acid component and ethylene glycol as a main glycol component to pass through a single-layer or multi-layer metal fiber nonwoven fabric, melt extruding the molten polymer into a form of a sheet, quenching and solidifying the sheet to produce an unoriented film, biaxially orienting the unoriented film, and thermally setting the biaxially oriented film to form a biaxially oriented polyester film, as a base film for a photographic film, which contains substantially no gel as large as 40 .mu.m or more.

Abstract: The present invention enables production of an aromatic polyester film having no surface defect and a uniform thickness, while achieving a high productivity, by allowing a molten film of an aromatic polyester to adhere onto a rotating cooling drum to cool the molten film. The molten film has electrical properties characterized by a relatively small AC volume resistivity and has excellent basic properties necessary for adhering onto the rotating cooling drum.

Abstract: A process for preparing a thermoplastic resin film by extruding a molten thermoplastic film-forming resin in the form of a continuous molten film onto an electrically grounded moving quenching surface, passing the molten film in proximity to but out of contact with at least one electrode which imparts an electrostatic charge to the film across its full width and withdrawing a solidified film thus formed from said quenching surface; which process comprises extruding the molten film onto a quenching surface characterized by having a channel-like microcracked structure.

Abstract: A process for producing a film of reduced thickness unevenness which comprises extruding a thermoplastic resin from an extrusion die into a film form, exposing the extrudate to an electric field induced by an electrostaticity applying electrode, and then pinning it to the surface of a cooling drum, wherein a shielding object is disposed between the extrusion surface of the die and the electrostaticity applying electrode thereby to maintain the applied voltage constant in the widthwise direction of the extrudate and to enable the extrudate to adhere intimately to the surface of the cooling drum, and an apparatus for producing a film of reduced thickness unevenness comprising an extrusion die equipped with means for adjusting the thickness unevenness of the film by temperature control, an electrode for applying electrostaticity, a cooling drum and a shielding object, said shielding object being a conductive object, a non-conductive object or a combination of these, and being disposed between the extrusion surfa

Abstract: When a file having coated thereon an electrically conductive coating which is transparent in a highly oxidized state and non-transparent in a lowly oxidized state or in a reduced state, such as a coating of indium oxide, is heated electrically or by laser beams or oxidized and/or reduced by electrolytic reaction, images consisting of transparent and non-transparent areas are formed on the film. This can be utilized, for example, in a facsimile system.
