Abstract: Disclosed is a therapeutic autologous-cell delivery support system 100, in which a therapeutic autologous cell extracted from a member is reserved in reserve means 34, and an autologous-cell delivery request from the member which includes ID information and positional information is received. Membership information is retrieved in accordance with the received ID information, and the membership information and positional information of the member is output. When the reserve means is provided in plural number at geographically different locations, one reserve means having a shortest delivery time is selected in accordance with the positional information included in the delivery request. The delivery request can be issued using ID information storage means 11 for transmitting the ID information, in a simple operation, or automatically issued using a monitor of physical data.

Abstract: A pneumatic bar conveying apparatus in which compressed air is supplied from an air injection port towards a bar-like material in each of a plurality of holding grooves is intermittently supplied by an intermittent air supply mechanism, so that the compressed air will be shut off by a tooth-shaped section protrudingly provided between the holding grooves for a longer period than an air shut-off period. After a specific period of compressed air supply into the holding groove, the supply of the compressed air is shut off to decrease the outlet pressure of the compressed air remaining in the holding groove and the conveying pipeline, resulting in an increased pressure difference as compared with the inlet pressure of the compressed air supplied into the holding groove from the air injection port. Consequently the compressed air flows at a higher rate from the holding groove into the conveying pipeline, thus imparting a large initial flow velocity to the bar-like material in the holding groove.

Abstract: A circular-arc shaped movable conveyor is horizontally turned along a circular-arc orbital path of a stationary conveyor according to the difference between he feeding-in amount from feeding-in port to the movable conveyor and the feeding-out amount from the stationary conveyor to a feeding-out port. Thus, the capacities of an upper compartment on the movable conveyor and a lower compartment on the stationary conveyor are increased and decreased,so that the imbalance between the demand to a post-processing machine and the supply from a pre-processing machine can be adjusted. Furthermore, the rod-shaped articles are fed from he feeding-in port to the feeding-out port while sequentially passing through the upper compartment and the lower compartment.

Abstract: Phenoxypropylamine derivatives of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, independently from each other, represent a lower alkyl group, or together form a linear alkylene group having 4 to 7 carbon atoms which may be optionally substituted by a hydroxyl or hydroxymethyl group, and R.sub.4 represents a hydrogen atom or a group of the formula --R.sub.5 --Z in which R.sub.5 represents a lower alkylene group, and Z represents a hydrogen atom or an amino, mono- or di-(lower alkyl)-amino, hydrdoxy lower alkylamino, lower alkanoylamino, hydroxyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkanoyloxy, phenoxy, halophenoxy, benzoyloxy or halobenzoyloxy group, andthe salts thereof; to a process for production thereof; and to their medicinal use, particularly to antiulcer agents comprising these phenoxypropylamine derivatives or their salts.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and distinct garden variety of delphinium. This delphinium, denominated `Plagu Light Purple`, is a mutant derived from a delphinium variety `Plagu Blue`. The present delphinium is characterized by its sepals assuming a vivid purple color with a dash of blue.
