  • Patent number: 10851152
    Abstract: The present invention is produced as a polymerized peptide prepared by oxidatively cross-linking collagen-like peptides having the triple-helical structure containing three peptide chains each containing multiple cysteine (Cys) residues. This polymerized peptide can be processed into a hydrogel and a thin membrane sheet before use, and is capable of imparting a particular physiological function such as cellular adhesion by incorporating functional amino acid sequences present on biological polymers. Further, the present invention provides a method for producing the abovementioned polymerized peptide and the like; and use applications employing the same, such as cell culturing, wound dressing, and compositions including regenerative medical materials and research materials.

  • Patent number: 10434784
    Abstract: There is provided with a cartridge comprising a liquid supply portion; a contact portion that is located on a +Z-axis direction side of the liquid supply portion and that is arranged to contact with an electrical connecting element; and a positioning structure that is located between the liquid supply portion and the contact portion in a Z-axis direction. The liquid supply portion is configured to receive a first external force in a ?Y-axis direction from the liquid introducing structure when the liquid supply portion is connected with the liquid introducing structure. The contact portion is configured to receive a second external force in a direction including a ?Y-axis direction component from the electrical connecting element when the contact portion comes into contact with the electrical connecting element. This configuration suppresses position misalignment of the cartridge or a connector to a mounting structure.

  • Patent number: 10183492
    Abstract: A detachable body for a printing apparatus enables positioning a board for electrical connection to a printing apparatus, while also reducing manufacturing cost. The detachable body for a printing apparatus includes a case that is mounted to and detached from a printing apparatus that performs printing on a sheet, and a board that is attached to an attachment surface that is a surface of the case, and that is electrically connected to the printing apparatus by coming into contact with detachable body-side contacts provided on the printing apparatus when the case is mounted to the printing apparatus. The attachment surface of the case is provided with an attaching portion to which the board is attached. The attaching portion surrounds the board and positions the board in a direction along the attachment surface of the case by coming into contact with peripheral edges of the board.

  • Patent number: 9969175
    Abstract: Provided is a liquid container that is able to prevent or suppress spilling of a liquid that is poured into an opening part. An ink cartridge has a first wall part defining a rear end of the ink cartridge and a second wall part extending on a forward side +X from an upper edge of the first wall part. An ink inlet port that receives ink for refilling is formed in the second wall part. Ink is poured into the ink inlet port from the first wall part side. The ink inlet port has a length dimension in the front-rear direction X that is longer than in the width direction Y, and thus readily receives ink that is poured therein.
