Patent number: 8755089Abstract: An image scanning apparatus includes a transport roller transporting an original, a CCD scanning a first side of the original, a CIS scanning unit scanning a second side of the original, and a flap for reversing the original and sending the original to a transport path. A CPU controls the transport roller, the CCD and the CIS scanning unit to scan each side of the original. The CPU determines from the result of scanning whether or not each side of the original includes a predetermined pattern. When the CPU cannot identify from the result of scanning of the second side whether or not the second side includes a predetermined pattern, the CPU controls the flap and a transport unit to reverse the original and cause the CCD to scan the second side.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2009Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: Konica Minolta, Inc.Inventors: Hidekazu Takahama, Hiroshi Murakami, Hideyuki Hashimoto, Akira Ohhata, Hiroyuki Suzuki

Patent number: 8680092Abstract: A compound represented by formula (I): (wherein the symbols are the same as defined in the description), a salt thereof, an N-oxide thereof, a solvate thereof or a prodrug thereof, and medicinal use thereof. The compound represented by formula (I) has CXCR4 antagonistic activity. It is hence useful as, e.g., a preventive and/or therapeutic agent for CXCR4-mediated diseases such as inflammatory/immunologic diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis, retinopathy, pulmonary fibrosis, and rejection reactions of transplanted organs), allergic diseases, infections diseases (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immunologic deficiency syndrome), psychoneurotic diseases, cerebral diseases, cardiac/vascular disease, metabolic diseases, cancer diseases (e.g., cancer, cancer metastasis) or as an agent for regeneration therapy.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2006Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Ochiai, Akira Ohhata, Yoshikazu Takaoka, Shiro Shibayama
