Abstract: A tape cassette that includes a box-shaped cassette case whose outline being defined by a bottom wall, a top wall, and a side wall and including a plurality of corner portions, at least one tape contained within a tape containment area defined within the outline, a pair of cavities extending from the bottom wall and being provided between the tape containment area and the outline at opposite ends of a diagonal line connecting one of the corner portions to another of the corner portions, and a side face indicator portion provided in the side wall, indicating a type of the tape, and including a plurality of indicator portions disposed in a pattern in accordance with the type of the tape, each of the indicator portions being one of a switch hole and a surface portion.

Abstract: A tape cassette that includes a tape cassette that includes a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, a rear wall, a front wall, and a tape feed exit located on the front wall, a tape included at least partially within the housing and configured to be fed along a tape feed path extending to the tape feed exit, and a first indicator aperture positioned on the front wall and a second indicator aperture position on a rear portion of the bottom surface. A position of the first indicator aperture on the front wall indicates a type of the tape included within the housing. A position of the second indicator aperture indicates a color of characters.

Abstract: A nutritional composition for gastrostomy-tube patients who are at an increased development risk of aspiration pneumonia and require careful risk management, which can be more safely consumed by gastrostomy-tube patients while suppressing the development of aspiration pneumonia, is administered to those patients who require risk management for aspiration pneumonia, and contains a protein source, a carbohydrate source, and a lipid source, the protein source including only amino acids.

Abstract: One element is taken from a machined shape. When the element is a straight line element, whether or not the distance D between the start point and the end point of the element in a direction orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the workpiece is equal to or greater than a preset value Ds is determined. In addition, whether or not an angle A that the straight line element makes with the Z-axis is equal to or greater than a preset angle Aa is determined. When the distance D is equal to or greater than the preset value Ds and the angle A is equal to or greater than the preset angle Aa, a program is created with the cutting direction reversed from the profile direction.

Abstract: A method for producing a 1,2,4-oxadiazol derivative represented by the formula (1): (1) [wherein, R1 represents a methyl group or a phenyl group, and R2 represents an optionally substituted linear or branched alkyl group], which comprises reacting a nitrile represented by the formula (2): (2) [wherein, R2 represents an optionally substituted linear or branched alkyl group] with acetone or acetophenone in the presence of iron (III) nitrate. The method allows a 1,2,4-oxadiazol derivative exhibiting a useful biological activity to be produced in good yield without the discharge of a harmful waste.

Abstract: There is provided with a method for manufacturing an isoxazole derivative at a high yield and without discharging waste products, and a novel isoxazole derivative. An isoxazole derivative expressed by Formula (8) is produced by reacting a 1-alkyne compound expressed by Formula (7) with iron(III) nitrate in the presence of acetone or acetophenone: (where R1 is an alkyl, cycloalkyl, phenyl, or other such group); and (where R2 is a methyl or a phenyl).

Abstract: Disclosed is a negatively chargeable blue toner comprising a fixing resin binder and an indanthrone dye as a coloring and charge controlling agent. The indanthrone dye as the coloring and charge controlling agent may be used advantageously not only singly but also in combination with a halogen-substituted copper phthalocyanine pigment.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electrophotographic process which comprises developing an electrophotographic light-sensitive layer having an electrostatic charge image of a certain polarity with a one-component type magnetic developer where positive and negative frictional charge polarities are mingled, under development bias voltage conditions capable of developing the electrostatic charge image, the background or both, and bringing the light-sensitive layer having a developer layer formed thereon into contact with a transfer sheet under a transfer charge of the same polarity as that of the electrostatic charge image when a positive image is formed or under a transfer charge of a polarity reverse to that of the electrostatic charge image when a negative image is formed, to form an image on the transfer sheet.
