Abstract: A substrate having a pattern of two or more materials exhibiting different grafting efficiencies for a temperature-responsive polymer that varies its interaction with water in a temperature range of 0 to 80° C. by electron beam irradiation under the same conditions is grafted with the temperature-responsive polymer by simultaneously irradiating the surfaces of the materials with electron beams to obtain a temperature-responsive cell culture substrate. According to this method, a temperature-responsive cell culture substrate having a surface (1) that allows cells to adhere thereto and to grow thereon during cell culturing and that allows the adhering and grown cells to be detached therefrom by changing the culturing temperature and a surface (2) that does not allow the cells to adhere thereto at all can be obtained by a simple process.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a cell culture support making the detachment of a cell sheet easy as well as enabling the formation of a uniform cell sheet.

Abstract: A structural body comprising a substrate and a structural layer formed on the substrate through an air gap in which the structural layer functions as a micro movable element is produced by a process comprising a film-deposition step of successively forming a sacrificial layer made of a silicon oxide film and the structural layer on the substrate, an air gap-forming step of removing the sacrificial layer by etching with a treating fluid to form the air gap between the substrate and the structural layer, and a cleaning step. By using a supercritical carbon dioxide fluid containing a fluorine compound, a water-soluble organic solvent and water as the treating fluid, the sacrificial layer is removed in a short period of time with a small amount of the treating fluid without any damage to the structural body.

Abstract: A glass composition for lamps includes: SiO2 (silicon dioxide) as a main component; Na2O (sodium oxide) in the range of 12 to 17 wt. %; MgO (magnesium oxide) in the range of 2.5 to 4 wt. %; and CaO (calcium oxide) in the rage of 5.3 to 7.3 wt. %, wherein the total content of MgO and CaO is in the range of 8 to 11 wt. %. Thereby, lamps can be manufactured at relatively low costs that exhibit superiority in fracture resistance, workability, erosion resistance with respect to the inner surface of a furnace, and suppressing the elution of alkali component.

Abstract: A door opening trim weather strip for a motor vehicle, which exhibits excellent noise insulating properties between a door opening portion of a vehicle body and a door of a motor vehicle, and requires a small force for closing the door, thereby improving feelings in closing the door. The door opening trim weather strip includes a trim portion in which a flange provided in the door opening portion is adapted to be inserted, and a tubular seal portion for sealing between the door opening portion and the door.

Abstract: A door opening trim weather strip for a motor vehicle, which can be readily attached to a flange provided in a door opening portion of a vehicle body and is difficult to be pulled thereoff. The door opening trim weather strip includes a trim portion in which the flange is adapted to be inserted, and a seal portion for sealing between the door opening portion and a vehicle door. The trim portion includes a plurality of outer flange holding lips which respectively extend from an outer side wall of the trim portion, and two inner flange holding lips which respectively extend from an inner side wall of the trim portion. Each of the two inner flange holding lip has a connecting part which obliquely extends from the inner side wall toward an open mouth of the trim portion, and a main part which extends from an extending end of the connecting part obliquely toward the bottom wall of the trim portion, thereby defining a generally inverted v-shaped cross-section.

Abstract: Method of using a supercritical fluid to clean a substrate having a fine structure in which a cleaning process is carried out by immersing the substrate in supercritical carbon dioxide for a predetermined time, and foreign matter adhering to the substrate is removed. After this, a rinsing process is performed on the substrate by stopping the supplying of a tertiary amine compound and supplying only the supercritical carbon dioxide so that the supercritical carbon dioxide to which the tertiary amine compound has been added is replaced with pure supercritical carbon dioxide. Next, the supplying of the carbon dioxide is stopped and the supercritical carbon dioxide inside the processing chamber is discharged so that the temperature and pressure inside the processing chamber fall, resulting in the carbon dioxide inside the processing chamber being gasified and the substrate being supercritically dried.

Abstract: Emission of NOx during acid-piclding treatment of metals in an aqueous solution containing at least nitric acid is controlled by the addition of hydrogen peroxide. The addition amount of hydrogen peroxide is minimized to avoid excessive addition by monitoring the potentiostatic electrolytic current of the solution or by combinedly monitoring the potentiostatic electrolytic current and the redox potential of the solution.
