Abstract: As a defense against cyber attacks, a network communication device permits other communication devices to associate and undergo entity authentication, registers the identifiers of devices that pass entity authentication in a memory, and communicates only with those devices. As a further defense, the network communication device may also impose association control by normally refusing to let other communication devices even associate. The network communication device monitors the communicability of devices with identifiers registered in the memory. If communication with a device becomes disabled, its identifier is removed from the memory and placed in a whitelist. Whitelisted devices may re-associate even while association control is in effect. A device that experiences outage may therefore re-associate autonomously, without requiring human intervention.

Abstract: There is provided, in one aspect of the present description, an oil pan structure attached to a lower portion of an engine for a vehicle. In one example, the oil pan structure comprises has an approximately rectangular bottom wall which accumulates oil continually, a long side wall, and a short side wall, the approximately rectangular bottom wall being surrounded by the long side wall and the short side wall. Further, the bottom wall has a deep bottom section provided approximately in a center of the bottom wall and in a portion where the oil is pumped up, a shallow bottom section which has a depth that is shallower than that of the deep bottom section, and a connecting wall section extending vertically and connecting the deep bottom section with the shallow bottom section, the shallow bottom section being provided on both sides of the deep bottom section.

Abstract: A radio communication terminal and a radio communication system which can avoid an obstacle that is caused by a malicious wormhole while using a harmless wormhole. There are provided: a radio communication terminal in which a relay route about a certain node is stored as a backup route about the node and the backup route is changed and set as a relay route about the node in accordance with a detection of an obstacle caused by application data; and a radio communication system in which a sink node transmits a transfer destination change command in association with the change setting and a node which received the command sets a node of a transferring source of the command as a transfer destination node.

Abstract: The present inventors investigated the antitumor effects of anti-IL-6 receptor antibodies against prostate cancer. The result showed that the anti-IL-6 receptor antibodies had both in vivo and in vitro antitumor effects against prostate cancer. It was also revealed that the hPM1 antitumor effect is via IL-6 receptor.

Abstract: A surface protecting adhesive film for a semiconductor wafer in which an adhesive layer is formed on one surface of a base film, wherein the adhesive layer comprises 100 weight parts of a polymer (A) having a functional group capable of reacting with a cross-linking agent and a temperature in a range of from ?50° C. to 5° C. at which tan ? of a dynamic viscoelasticity is maximized, from 10 weight parts to 100 weight parts of a polymer (B) having a functional group capable of reacting with a cross-linking agent and a temperature in a range of from more than 5° C. to 50° C. at which tan ? of a dynamic viscoelasticity is maximized, and from 0.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for improving at least one symptom resulting from tumor cells, which contains a compound represented by the following general formula (1) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient. wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a C2-4 alkanoyl group and R2 represents a group represented by the following formulae (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) or (G): wherein R3 represents a C1-4 alkyl group.

Abstract: (?)-DHM2EQ, which is useful as an antitumor agent and an anti-inflammatory agent, can be directly obtained by optically resolving (±)-DHM2EQ using an optically active column packed with an optical resolving agent containing, for example, amylose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) as an active ingredient. The (?)-DHM2EQ obtained by optical resolution using the optically active column or pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof is useful as a pharmaceutical composition for improving various symptoms.

Abstract: A pair of positioning rings are engaged on the outer peripheral surface of a shaft, and a plurality of permanent magnets are provided on the outer surface of the shaft between the positioning rings. The permanent magnets are bonded to the shaft by a bonding agent which fills the spaces between the shaft and the permanent magnets, and an air gap is formed between the permanent magnets and the positioning rings, to allow thermal expansion.
