The method further includes establishing a second claim amount and a second obligation amount according to a second contract, reporting the second claim amount or the second obligation amount to the card company server, recording second incoming or second outgoing amounts, adding or subtracting respectively to or from the first incoming or the first outgoing amounts, and settling final incoming or outgoing, added or subtracted amounts at regular intervals.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a hinge for a folding ladder having first and second ladder frames. The hinge includes a main hinge unit, a subsidiary hinge unit, and a locking unit. The main hinge unit includes first and second support arms commonly mounted to an upper end of the first ladder frame, and first and second disc parts extending from upper ends of the first and second support arms, respectively, and being spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval. The subsidiary hinge unit includes a subsidiary support arm mounted to an upper end of the second ladder frame, and a subsidiary disc part extending from an upper end of the subsidiary support arm, the subsidiary disc part being disposed between the first and second disc parts, with a plurality of notches being provided along a peripheral edge of the subsidiary disc part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of hepatitis C which comprises a mixed extract, particularly a mixed aqueous extract or a mixed alcohol extract, of Phellodendron amurense RUPRECHT cortex and Patrinia scabiosaefolia FISCH. as an active ingredient. The mixed extract according to the present invention exhibits an anti-viral activity for hepatitis C and help prevents hepatic cirrhosis orginated from hepatitis C, and further treats hepatitis and hepatic cirrhosis by potentiating the immunological function to inhibit the proliferation of hepatitis C virus and stimulating the proliferation of T helper cells to increase the host immune system. Furthermore, the mixed extract of the present invention is a mixed extract of natural plants characterized in that it does not exhibit any side effects nor drug resistance, and its activity is maintained even when used for a long period.

Abstract: The present invention provides a extracted substance from a mixture of a non-fat starch from Ricini semen and a root of coptis Sp. This substance is suitable for use in the therapeutic applications of AIDS.

Abstract: The invention has as its purpose the provision of a golf glove contributing to improvement of the head speed and stable swing of the golf club. The golf club consists of weights equipped with two or more overlapping pieces on the glove surface of the back of the hand part and fingers. The golf glove can increase the head speed of the golf club, which increases the flying distance of the ball. It prevents the thigh's unnatural bending in advance, which makes for an ideal back swing, down swing and follow through. If a player is right-handed, it is expected that right hand needs less power to increase inertial mass of left hand wearing the glove and it is possible to prevent slicing of a ball caused by distributing more power to the right hand. The weights on the glove surface of the back of the hand part, which are disposed toward the wrist, lessen the inertial mass caused by hand's rotary motion in comparison to weights placed far from the wrist.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an anti-cancer composition containing acridine derivatives and guanosine compounds. In the composition of the present invention, the acridine derivative and the guanosine compound are present in the weight ratio of 1:0.1-5.0, preferably 1:0.3-3.0 and more preferably 1:0.5-1.5. In the composition of the present invention, most preferably the acridine derivative is acriflavine neutral and the guanosine compound is guanosine hydrate. Although acridine derivatives and guanosine compounds used as an active ingredient in the present composition have substantially no anti-cancer effect when they are used individually, the combination of acriflavine neutral and guanosine hydrate which potentiates the effect of acriflavine neutral, i.e. the composition(AG60) according to the present invention, exhibits reduced toxicity and increased anti-cancer effect in comparison to the use of acriflavine neutral or guanosine hydrate alone.

Abstract: The present invention provides a extracted substance from a mixture of a non-fat starch from Ricini Semen and a root of Coptis sp. This substance is suitable for use in the therapeutic applications of AIDS.

Abstract: A fastening means for safety belts for cars or the like is especially intended for resisting the high G-forces to which the fastening system is subjected in a collision. Said fastening means essentially comprises a locking flap (2) being provided with a rivet (2c), a supporting lug (2a), and two hinged arms (2b) to be in contact with the turnable about the rear portion of a locking case member (5) shaped with two parallel plates to form an intermediate space (5f). Said parallel plates are provided with three through recesses, i.e. one securing hole (5b) for securing said fastening means in a car, one hole (5e) for receiving the supporting lug (2d) of locking flap (2), and a locking hole (5c) for guiding and receiving locking flap rivet (2c).

Abstract: The invention comprises safety belt fastening means of the type having a locking tongue slideably engageable with a locking device. The locking device includes a locking flap releaseably engageable with the tongue, and release means for lifting and releasing the flap from engagement with the tongue; according to the invention, blocking means are provided which retain the locking flap in a raised position when the belt is unfastened, which resist initial releasing action to increase the necessary force for unfastening the belt, and which urge the locking flap into close engagement with the tongue on fastening the seat belt. The blocking means includes a blocking flap which coacts with the locking flap, and biasing means acting on the blocking and locking flaps.
