  • Patent number: 11975543
    Abstract: A liquid replenishing system includes a liquid tank and a liquid storage bottle for storing liquid to be replenished to the liquid tank. The liquid tank includes a tank body, a cylindrical adapter, and a needle penetrating into the tank body inside the cylindrical adapter. One end of the needle is located outside the tank body and another end of the needle is located inside the tank body. The liquid storage bottle includes a bottle body, a nozzle having an ejection port for ejecting a liquid stored in the bottle body, and includes a slit valve provided at the ejection port. In a case where the nozzle of the liquid storage bottle and the cylindrical adapter of the liquid tank are fitted to each other, one end of the needle is inserted into the slit valve so that the liquid storage bottle is secured to the liquid tank.

  • Patent number: 7227500
    Abstract: A coplanar type circularly polarize wave planar antenna is provided, which can be formed on one side of a dielectric substrate. The planar antenna comprises a dielectric substrate; an almost square radiating element formed on one main surface of the dielectric substrate, the radiating element having notched portions at two corners opposing in one diagonal direction; and a ground conductor formed on the one main surface, the ground conductor having a square opening portion at a center portion thereof and a square outer peripheral shape. The radiating element is placed inside the opening portion of the ground conductor with a gap of a predetermined width being provided with respect to the ground conductor.

  • Patent number: 4806467
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of detecting either antibody or antigen in the serum of horses infected with equine infectious anemia using a competitive enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay technique and reagents useful in such an assay. The competitive enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay incorporates a purified virus antigen conjugate and a monoclonal antibody specific for the virus antigen as both the reacting and competing components. Alternatively, the competitive enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay incorporates a purified virus antigen and a monoclonal antibody conjugate specific for the viral antigen as both reacting and competing components. This invention also relates to detecting antigen and antibody found in other retrovirus infections such as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome in humans.
