  • Publication number: 20030208875
    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner has a suction air inlet disposed in front of an electric blower and a dust chamber detachably installed to the rear of the electric blower. The vacuum cleaner further embodies a swivel caster and wheels for facilitating transportability thereof, wherein the swivel caster is provided in front of the electric blower. By not having the dust chamber above the swivel caster, regardless of the amount of dust accumulated in the dust chamber, the load that is distributed on the swivel caster stays substantially unchanged, thereby enhancing durability of the swivel caster. Furthermore, in such configuration loading and unloading of the dust chamber can be carried out without being interfered with a hose due to the placement of the suction air outlet connected with the hose and the dust chamber on opposite ends of the vacuum cleaner.

  • Publication number: 20030196368
    Abstract: A body and a tail which is curled and is integrally formed in a thin wall shape at a rear end of the body are provided, and a spherical body is integrally formed at a tip of the tail. When the tail extends and swings in the water, an efficient lure action can be produced according to a balance to other parts. Additionally, water flow resistance increases according to volume of the spherical body to produce vibration efficiently, and therefore, it is possible to easily obtain a lure action which is complex and has a high fish-luring effect.

  • Publication number: 20030153337
    Abstract: An image memory stores, for example, an image taken by a camera and an image obtained via a route of an antenna, transmit/receive switching section, receiving section and demodulating section. At a time of an incoming call, a controller reads out an output of the demodulating section to obtain a telephone number, etc., of a calling party's side and reads out an image corresponding to the obtained telephone number, etc., to allow it to be displayed on a display section. This arrangement achieves a mobile radio terminal which, even if it has a relatively small display section, enables the user to readily identify the calling party at a time of an incoming call.

  • Publication number: 20030148468
    Abstract: The present invention of the application provides a method for producing an antibody which comprises inoculating an expression vector expressing a fusion protein to an animal, and isolating and purifying an antibody against an antigenic protein from the animal, wherein the fusion protein is an antigenic protein fused to the C-terminal side of a transmembrane domain in which the N-terminal side is located in the cell and the C-terminal is out of the cell. According to the present invention, an antibody against an antigenic protein, which it was difficult to produce in the so far known gene immunization, can be produced. The resulting an antibody is useful as drugs, diagnostic agents, and reagents for the research.

  • Patent number: 6588495
    Abstract: The present invention provides anchor tabs at opposite ends of a film member that are anchored to side faces of a door plate of a sliding door. Draft deflectors prevent the inflow of air to between the anchor tabs and the side faces of the door plate. Thus, inflow of air to between the anchor tabs of the film member and the side faces of the door plate is prevented. Also, fluctuations in pressure difference between the inner and outer sides of the anchor tabs are suppressed, and the production of extraneous noise caused by self-excited vibration of the anchor tabs at the ends of the film member is suppressed.
