Abstract: A welded structure constituted of a fuel filling container having an opening, and a welded part including a pipe-shaped section whose one end is disposed in the opening of the fuel filling container. A welding section is fixedly disposed around the outer periphery of the pipe-shaped section. The welding section is welded through a welding surface to the outer surface of the fuel filling container. In the welded structure, the welding section of the welded part includes a welding strength providing layer and a fuel permeation resistance layer which are coaxial with the pipe-shaped section of the welded part and radially laminated to define the annular welding surface. Additionally, at least an inner peripheral surface portion of the pipe-shaped section and an outer peripheral surface portion of the other end portion of the pipe-shaped section are formed of a fuel permeation resisting material.

Abstract: A resinous tube which has a low permeability for alcohol-contained fuel in addition to usual gasoline and is sufficiently high in adhesiveness between a barrier layer (permeation-interrupting layer) and a protecting layer (layer covering the permeation-interrupting layer), is easy in reuse of marginal materials and the like, and is a low cost material arrangement is furnished. This resinous tube is formed by laminating pipe-shaped resin layers, in which a main component of at least one layer of layers constituting the tube is a resin such as PBT, PBN, PET, PEN or the like, and a main component of a layer other than the above-mentioned layer is PBT copolymer. The PBT copolymer contains an acid component and a glycol component.

Abstract: A tubular resin connection structure is disclosed that includes a resin connector and a resin tube. The resin tube is fixedly coupled to one of the first and second ends of the resin connector in a fluid-tight manner by a weld disposed between the resin connector and the resin tube. Preferably, one end of the resin tube is inserted into a molding die and a portion of the resin connector is welded to the resin tube by overmolding the resin of the resin connector during injection molding. In other words, the weld between the resin connector and the resin tube is formed overmolding a resin of the resin connector over the resin tube to simultaneously the mold the resin connector and form the weld between the resin connector and the resin tube.

Abstract: The invention provides novel genetic constructions for the expression of inhibitory RNA in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. The inhibitory RNA may be an anti-sense RNA or a co-suppressor RNA, and functions to reduce the expression of a gene of interest in the target cell. The genetic constructions of the invention are capable of replicating in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell and comprise a promoter region in functional combination with an encoding polynucleotide. The genetic constructions may be designed so as to replicate in the cytoplasm of plant cells, yeast cells, and mammalian cells. When the eukaryotic cell of interest is a plant cell, the genetic construction is preferably derived from a plant RNA virus. Plant RNA virus derived genetic constructions may employ a plant virus subgenomic promoter, including subgenomic promoters from tobamoviruses in functional combination with the RNA encoding region.

Abstract: The transparent medium processing device comprises: a light control section 2 for performing variable control for the status of the laser beam emitted from the light source section 1, and a light status measurement section 4 for measuring the status of the laser beam inside the processing target TG. The light control section is adjusted based on the output of the light status measurement section so that the status of the laser beam inside the processing target becomes a desired status. Since the status of the laser beam inside the processing target, which is made of such a transparent medium as glass, is measured by the light status measurement section, and is fed back to the light control section, laser processing can be executed while maintaining an optimum status at a processing point inside the processing target.

Abstract: A method for laser cooling of atoms for laser-cooling atoms each involving a plurality of magnetic subsidiary levels as its cooling lower level being in a ground state in energy level wherein each coherent light of a predetermined wavelength containing a plurality of different polarized light is emitted sequentially to the atoms in response to the plurality of magnetic subsidiary levels being the cooling lower level in the ground level in an atom, which is an object to be laser-cooled, while keeping a predetermined time interval, whereby it becomes possible to laser-cool a variety of atoms including semiconductor atoms such as silicon and germanium.
