Abstract: A paper roll mounting device, configured to enable a paper roll to be supported by a paper roll supporting means provided to each arm of pairs of arms by rotary-driving a female screw member to individually move each arm in a direction parallel to a rotating shaft, is provided with: a female screw rotation amount signal output means provided to output a rotation amount signal corresponding to a rotation amount of the respective female screw member, individually on a female screw member basis, in response to rotation of the female screw member; and an arm stop position control unit configured to enable setting of a reference position for each of the arms, and, when changing a position of each of the arms in an axis direction of the rotating shaft, to enable input designation of a stop position of each of the arms, and to detect a current position of the arms with respect to the reference position by calculating a movement amount of the arms based on the rotation amount signal, and thereby move each of the arms

Abstract: The present invention is directed to self-folding, soluble, stable RSV G and F polypeptides that contain a neutralizing epitope. Fusion proteins and immunogenic conjugates containing the RSV G and F polypeptides, along with recombinant transgenes and vectors, and host cells suitable for expression of such genetic constructs are also disclosed. Use of the RSV G and F polypeptides, fusion proteins, immunogenic conjugates, or a pharmaceutical composition containing the same, is contemplated for inducing a protective immune response against RSV.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a chimeric papillomavirus virus-like particle (VLP) or capsomere including an L1 polypeptide and, optionally, an L2 polypeptide, and a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) protein or polypeptide fragment thereof comprising a first epitope, where the RSV protein or polypeptide fragment thereof is attached to one or both of the L1 and L2 polypeptides. Chimeric proteins, genetic constructions, and recombinant vectors and host cells suitable for expression of the constructs and making of the chimeric VLPs or capsomeres are also disclosed. Use of the VLPs or capsomeres, or a pharmaceutical composition containing the same, is contemplated for inducing a protective immune response against RSV.

Abstract: In order to resolve problems where impact force when a pushing member of a splicing device collides becomes large, strength becomes inconsistent as a result of a pushing force due to reactive force, and paper splicing becomes unstable due to it taking time to suppress this, with paper splicing precision falling as a result, a paper splicing device is provided with a pressing member for pressing running paper web taken from one paper roll against the peripheral surface of a paper roll rotatably driven in such a manner that the peripheral surface moves at substantially the same speed as the speed of running of the paper web.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to paper roll support device for a rotary press, for supporting a paper roll as well as being capable of rotation and rotation braking together with a paper roll, set so that in the event of a normal stop at the time of normal operation, rotation of the paper roll is stopped after a predetermined rotation braking time has elapsed, while in the event of emergency stop in an emergency, rotation of the paper roll is stopped using a rotation braking time that is shorter than the rotation braking time predetermined at the time of normal operation, comprising: a pair of support means capable of supporting both sides of an inner tube of the paper roll; and pressure change assigning means, capable of reciprocating in the direction of another opposing support means, and providing pressure to at least one support means to cause movement in a direction reducing a distance between a pair of support means, as well as being capable of selectively changing and assigning pressure of at least

Abstract: The NOx-cleaning paving structure of the present invention comprises a concrete base layer 1, a paving layer 2 and a surface layer 3 as illustrated in FIG. 1. The surface layer 3 comprises 100 parts by weight of cement, 5-50 parts by weight of titanium oxide powder and 100-700 parts by weight of aggregate, by which the surface layer on the paving layer can be provided with an NOx-cleaning action and an excellent durability. In addition, pozzolan materials, particularly a blast furnace slag, or adsorbing materials can be added to the surface layer. The paving layer 2 comprises an asphalt paving 21 or a concrete paving 6, both of which may include the used paving layers. It is preferable that the asphalt paving is porous and the surface thereof has an unevenness. Additionally, it is preferable that the thickness of the surface layer is 1-300 mm for the concrete paving and 2-15 mm for the asphalt paving. Among cement, injection cement for half-flexible paving is preferable.

Abstract: An NO.sub.x -cleaning paving block comprising a surface layer which contains titanium dioxide and which is layered on a concrete-made base layer.

Abstract: A method for sheet forming a remarkably waterproof gypsum hardened body, in which a main component consisting of gypsum dihydrate, slag and calcium hydroxide and additives are added with a part of the main component coated with a hydrophobic diorganopolysiloxane fluid having a kinetic viscosity of 10-10,000 CS at 25.degree. to be sheet formed and cured. The hydrophobic diorganopolysiloxane fluid is uniformly dispersed through the sheet formed gypsum hardened body and its strong water repelling property makes the gypsum hardened body remarkably waterproof to be used suitably as both interior and outdoor construction materials.

Abstract: A process for producing a fiber-reinforced hardened body comprising mixing gypsum and slag in a ratio by weight of the former to the latter between 3:7 and 7:3 to prepare a main starting material, adding to the main starting material 1 - 30% by weight of reinforcing fiber, 0.1 - 5% by weight of alkali salt substance and 0.1 - 5% by weight of aluminum sulfate-containing substance, the respective amounts being based on the weight of the main starting material, further adding water to knead and mold the resulting starting material mixture, and curing the molded starting material mixture under normal condition or steam-curing the molded starting material mixture at 90.degree. C. or below.
