  • Patent number: 11964533
    Abstract: In a fastener structure for a vehicle, a height adjustment spacer is interposed between first and second vehicle body frames fixed with a bolt and a nut. The nut has a first insertion hole through which a bolt is screwed, and is fixed to a surface of the first vehicle body frame. The height adjustment spacer has a second insertion hole through which the bolt is inserted, and is disposed in contact with another surface of the first vehicle body frame. The bolt is inserted through an attachment hole of the second vehicle body frame, the second insertion hole, an attachment hole of the first vehicle body frame, and the first insertion hole. On a contact surface between the height adjustment spacer and the first vehicle body frame, a protrusion and a recess are provided to surround an entirety of the second insertion hole, the second insertion hole respectively.

  • Patent number: 8753855
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detaching cultured cells that can selectively detach cultured adhered cells. The scaffold to which the cells adhere is configured from at least a cell adhesion factor containing carbon nanotubes, and by means of radiating laser light in a spot shape on the scaffold in a region where cells are adhered, a shock wave is generated by the heat arising by means of the photothermal conversion of the carbon nanotubes, and by means of this shock wave, the cells are caused to be in a non-adhered state.

  • Patent number: 6284451
    Abstract: The present invention provides a module for cell culture comprising a structure comprising hollow fibers and at least two spacers, wherein the spacers have small pores regularly arranged therein and the hollow fibers pass through the small pores and are arranged regularly at a very small distance, a hybrid artificial liver module wherein hepatocytes are immobilized in this module, and a method of cell culture wherein cells are immobilized in the lumen or extra-fiber space of the module of this module by the use of a centrifugal force and wherein the immobilized cells are cultured. The present invention also provides a method for cell culture wherein hepatocytes are cultured in a culture medium containing DMEM as a basal medium.
