  • Publication number: 20160222129
    Abstract: Various bispecific antibodies that specifically bind to both blood coagulation factor IX/activated blood coagulation factor IX and blood coagulation factor X and functionally substitute for the cofactor function of blood coagulation factor VIII, that is, the function to promote activation of blood coagulation factor X by activated blood coagulation factor IX, were produced. From these antibodies, multispecific antigen-binding molecules having a high activity of functionally substituting for blood coagulation factor VIII were successfully discovered.

  • Patent number: 9199457
    Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus records an image on a recording material by ejecting a first ink composition through at least one first liquid ejecting nozzle having an open end. The ink jet recording apparatus also includes a platen having a surface on which the recording medium is placed. The surface is away from the open end at a distance PG satisfying the relationship 0.5 mm<PG<2.5 mm. The first ink composition that has been ejected through the first liquid ejecting nozzle is split into a main droplet having a flying velocity Vm and at least one satellite droplet including a satellite droplet having a flying velocity Vs. The flying velocities Vm and Vs satisfy the relationship Vm?Vs<3 m/s.

  • Patent number: 9050963
    Abstract: A map is provided that has an unlimited region where a take-off slip-engagement the next time is repeatedly executed indefinitely, a limited region where the take-off slip-engagement the next time is repeatedly executed only once, and a prohibited region where the take-off slip-engagement the next time is prohibited, and has a generated heat amount during the take-off slip-engagement and an elapsed time after the lock-up slip-engagement ends as variables. Therefore, a region in which the take-off slip-engagement the next time had been prohibited because the take-off slip-engagement the next time is unable to be repeatedly executed indefinitely even though it is able to be repeatedly executed only once is made the limited region, so the take-off slip-engagement the next time is allowed to be repeatedly executed only once.

  • Patent number: 7964845
    Abstract: The charged particle beam device of this invention separately detects secondary signal particles emitted from the surface of a sample, dark field signal particles scattered within and transmitted through the sample, bright field signal particles transmitted through the sample without being scattered within the sample, and thereby allows the operator to observe the image with an optimum contrast according to applications. In order to detect only the dark field transmitted signal particles scattered within the sample, among the transmitted signal particles obtained by the primary charged particle beams having transmitted through the thin film sample, the device includes a transmitted signal conversion member having an opening through which the bright field transmitted signal particles not being scattered within the sample can pass, and a detection means for detecting signals colliding against the conversion member.

  • Publication number: 20100128074
    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes: a white-colored ink nozzle which ejects white-colored ink; a colored ink nozzle which ejects colored ink different from the white-colored ink; a scanning mechanism which moves the nozzles and a print medium, onto which the ejected ink is landed, relative to each other; and a controller which controls the ink ejection of the nozzles and the scanning mechanism. The controller forms a color line by ejecting the colored ink onto the print medium, while relatively moving the nozzle with respect to the print medium in a first direction, and then the controller ejects the white-colored ink on the color line so as to draw white lines intersecting the color line by moving the nozzle and the print medium relative to each other in a second direction intersecting the first direction.

  • Patent number: 7705302
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a scanning electron microscope including decelerating-electric-field forming means for decreasing the energy of a beam of electrons reaching a sample, and being capable of selectively detecting BSEs with high efficiency. To this end, the scanning electron microscope including the decelerating-electric-field forming means has a detector for detecting electrons. The detector includes a part for receiving the electrons at a position which is positioned outside trajectories of SEs accelerated by the decelerating-electric-field forming means, and which is further away from the optical axis of the beam of electrons than the trajectories of the SEs.
