  • Publication number: 20220356265
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to produce a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to glypican-1 (GPC-1) and to treat squamous cell carcinoma with genetically modified cells capable of expressing the CAR. The present invention provides: a chimeric antigen receptor for use in the treatment and/or prevention of squamous cell carcinoma, said chimeric antigen receptor comprising an extracellular domain capable of binding to GPC-1, a transmembrane domain and one or multiple intracellular domains, wherein at least one of the intracellular domains is an intracellular domain containing a primary cytosolic signaling sequence or an intracellular domain containing both a primary cytosolic signaling sequence and a secondary cytosolic signaling sequence; a genetically modified cell capable of expressing the chimeric antigen receptor; and a cell preparation containing the cell.

  • Patent number: 7096983
    Abstract: The height from floor surface contact ends of leg linkages 2 to shoulder joints of a biped robot 1 when the biped robot is in an upright posture is defined to be a value falling within a range (Havg±½?) set based on an averaged value Havg obtained by averaging the heights of a group of objects (subject to operation) from the floor surface and the standard deviation ? thereof, specifically a value in a range of from approximately 700 mm to 1000 mm. By this, the installation height of shoulder joints from the floor surface can be optimally determined in accordance with the heights of the objects, thereby improving operating efficiency in an existing operating space.

  • Patent number: 5992007
    Abstract: An apparatus for covering a plurality of permanent magnets on a rotor with a cylindrical sleeve has a movable jig, a holder jig having a plurality of insertion grooves for inserting therein the permanent magnets disposed in grooves of the rotor, the holder jig and the movable jig being pressable partly into an insertion end of the cylindrical sleeve, a plurality of resilient members disposed in the insertion grooves for pressing the permanent magnets against the outer circumferential surface of the rotor, and a presser device for inserting the movable jig, together with the rotor and the permanent magnets into the cylindrical sleeve under the guidance of the holder jig. The permanent magnets on the rotor are reliably and efficiently covered with the cylindrical sleeve without the need for an adhesive to secure the permanent magnets to the rotor.

  • Patent number: 5687471
    Abstract: Permanent magnets disposed on the outer circumferential surface of a yoke are reliably and efficiently covered with a cylindrical member of fiber-reinforced resin. A covering apparatus has a holding jig for being forced into an insertion end of the cylindrical member and guiding a rotor when the rotor is inserted into the cylindrical member, and a movable jig for being forced with the holding jig into the cylindrical member, engaging a leading end of the rotor, and being inserted together with the rotor into the cylindrical member. The holding jig and the movable jig have teeth for forcibly expanding the cylindrical member radially outwardly to a diameter greater than the diameter of the rotor.
