  • Publication number: 20220381327
    Abstract: A damper device includes an input-side rotating member, an intermediate rotating member, an output-side rotating member, and an elastic body. The elastic body is located in a clearance in a circumferential direction between each of a plurality of corresponding portions in which a hook portion of the input-side rotating member and a hook portion of the output-side rotating member face each other and the intermediate rotating member. A part of the corresponding portions is a first corresponding portion configured in such a manner that the elastic body is separated from the output-side rotating member and in contact with the input-side rotating member. The remainder of the corresponding portions is a second corresponding portion configured in such a manner that the elastic body is separated from the input-side rotating member and is in contact with the output-side rotating member.

  • Patent number: 11214623
    Abstract: The present inventors attempted to produce antibodies that neutralize the activity of a substance having an activity of functionally substituting for FVIII to be used for the method of measuring the reactivity of FVIII in the presence of a substance having an activity of functionally substituting for FVIII. As a result, the inventors discovered that by using the produced antibodies, FVIII activity in the plasma of a hemophilia A patient can be evaluated accurately by one-stage clotting assay based on APTT, and also that FVIII inhibitor titer in the plasma of a hemophilia A patient carrying a FVIII inhibitor can be evaluated accurately by Bethesda assay based on APTT.
