Abstract: A light emitting device is provided including a front panel on which fluorescent elements are arranged in a matrix form and a rear panel onwhich cathodes are arranged in a corresponding relation to the fluorescent elements. The cathodes emit thermoelectrons for causing the fluorescent elements to emit light, and a square frame-like spacer is provided, one opening portionof the spacer being covered with the front panel and the other opening portion thereof covered with the rear panel. A stepped portion for fitting with the spacer is formed in a position of the rear panel to be bonded with the spacer.

Abstract: This invention provides a selective cellular fibronectin (cFN) adsorbent utilizing a nonwoven cellulose sulfate fabric and a method for fractional purification of FN which-comprises contacting an FN matter containing both plasma fibronectin (pFN) and cellular fibronectin (cFN) with the nonwoven cellulose sulfate fabric to separate pFN and cFN from each other. By the fractional purification method of the invention, cFN and pFN can be fractionated in an expedient manner and with high efficiency and both pFN and cFN can be recovered in high purity and good yield.

A glass bulb is provided having one open end portion sealed to the step portion of the translucent face glass assembly with low-melting frit glass. A stem assembly is provided having a anode electrode assembly and a cathode assembly mounted therein. The anode electrode assembly and the cathode assembly are accommodated in the glass bulb. The contact segment is contacted by the anode electrode assembly, the stem assembly being hermetically sealed at the other open end portion of the glass bulb. A high voltage applied to the anode assembly accommodated in the glass bulb is applied to the metallized film through the path of the contact segment.

Abstract: In a plasma filtration process including a treatment with a primary filter for separating blood into blood cells and plasma and a treatment with a secondary filter for removing harmful macromolecules from the separated plasma for purification, the secondary filter is washed by passing a washing liquid through an inner chamber of the filter, an outer chamber thereof or both the chambers in an amount corresponding to 5 to 50% of the priming volume of the filter every time the filtration pressure has reached 70 to 100% of the withstanding pressure of the secondary filter. This washing procedure reduces the time required for the filtration of plasma to about 60 to 70% of the time conventionally needed, shortens the patient restraining time, and decreases the amount of washing liquid to be used to consequently diminish the disposal loss of plasma from the system.

Abstract: In a process for filtering plasma by separating blood into blood cells and plasma by a primary filter and filtering the separated plasma by a secondary filter to remove macromolecules from the plasma as harmful components, the loss of plasma to be discarded from the system by a procedure for eliminating plugging of the secondary filter can be diminished by opening an inner chamber of the secondary filter to the atmosphere to thereby lower the internal pressure of the chamber every time increase of the pressure to an upper limit value due to an increasing plugging tendency of the secondary filter is detected, and washing the interior of the secondary filter from the inner and outer chamber sides after the internal pressure has lowered.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a light emitting device which emits light upon impingement of thermoelectrons on a front panel having fluorescent elements. In each bonding surface of a spacer which is bonded to both front and rear panels, a positional deviation or displacement of the spacer with respect to the front panel, the rear panel or a shielding electrode is prevented, whereby there is obtained a light emitting device of high accuracy free of variations in luminance, and it is made possible to reduce a dead space between adjacent light emitting devices and thereby attain a display of high resolution. In order to obtain such display, the front panel and the spacer, as well as the rear panel and the spacer, are respectively bonded through premolded frit glass.

The base edge of the inner tube is located at an intermediate portion between the positions from which the pair of the branched tubes extend outward so as to enable the inner passageway formed in the inner tube to communicate with one of the branched tubes. The base edge of the outer tube is fixed to the tip of the hub so as to enable the annular passageway formed between the outer wall of the inner tube and the inner wall of the outer tube to communicate with the other branched tube.
