  • High temperature oxidation resistant carbonaceous molding and manufacturing method thereof
    Patent number: 7205055
    Abstract: A high temperature oxidation resistant carbonaceous molding having a parent material containing carbon, a metallic carbide containing layer which is formed such that a metal is diffused to a surface of the parent material and metal carbide is formed thereon and having cracks, a vitreous member composed of a vitreous material filled in the cracks and a vitreous material layer formed on a surface of the metallic carbide containing layer, wherein the vitreous member and the vitreous material layer are integrated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 13, 2004
    Date of Patent: April 17, 2007
    Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Makoto Shiokawa, Naoki Hiromasa, Kaoru Kusano, Toru Tadokoro

  • Method of collecting data for estimation of susceptibility to periodontal disease
    Publication number: 20040063123
    Abstract: A method is provided, which comprises examining the regulating activity of a defensin gene promoter closely associated with the expression activity of defensin, an antibacterial peptide, on the basis of the detection of a gene mutation, and estimating future susceptibility to periodontal disease. The sequence homology between DNA derived from a defensin gene promoter existing in a sample obtained from the gingival tissues of a subject and a nucleotide sequence comprising a mutation site in the promoter region, and/or compatibility in PCR amplification, are determined. Thereby a gene mutation is detected and then the site of the gene mutation is determined, so that data for the estimation can be collected.
