Publication number: 20230346944Abstract: A virus inactivation method is provided. The method includes irradiating a solution containing an artificially expressed antibody or antibody fragment with ultraviolet rays in the presence of a radical scavenger. The irradiating only aggregates 5% or less of the antibody or antibody fragment. A wavelength of the ultraviolet rays is 200 nm or longer and 315 nm or shorter. An irradiation amount of the ultraviolet rays is 300 mJ/cm2 or more. An irradiation time of the ultraviolet rays is 3 minutes or less. A concentration of the radical scavenger in the solution is 0.03 mM or more.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicants: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION KOBE UNIVERSITY, ABLE CorporationInventors: Kazuhisa UCHIDA, Shutaro ISHIKAWA, Satoshi TOMITA, Kensaku KANADA

Patent number: 8474469Abstract: A cleaning device of a hair removing apparatus having a hair clipping unit for removing hair includes a cleaning basin for accommodating the hair clipping unit therein; a fluid circulating mechanism for supplying or recovering cleaning fluid into or from the cleaning basin; a drying mechanism for drying the hair clipping unit in the cleaning basin after the hair clipping unit is cleaned; and a controller for controlling the fluid circulating mechanism and the drying mechanism. The controller transmits a control signal to the hair removing apparatus to drive the hair clipping unit while the drying mechanism is being operated.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2007Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Satoshi Nakayama, Kensaku Kanada

Patent number: 8373315Abstract: A linear oscillatory actuator includes a magnetic pole forming portion that includes an electromagnet and a base, magnetic blocks each of which includes a magnet attracted or repelled by the electromagnet to reciprocate, elastic suspensions for supporting the magnetic blocks, and at least one coupling spring portion that couples the magnetic blocks reciprocatably. Each of the elastic suspension includes upper and lower extending portions, and elastic planar portions integrally provided between the upper extending portions and the lower extending portions, respectively. Depressed portions are formed at continuous portions between the upper extending portions and the elastic planar portions, respectively, and each of the depressed portions is depressed toward the magnetic blocks. While the magnetic blocks reciprocate, Stress concentration on the continuous portions can be mitigated by the depressed portions.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2011Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Noboru Kobayashi, Hiroaki Shimizu, Kensaku Kanada
