  • Patent number: 8661793
    Abstract: A construction machine including an engine, a fuel tank, and a liquid reductant tank. The construction machine further includes a tank cover, and the fuel tank has an upper surface including a high-position surface and a low-position surface located at a lower position than the high-position surface and adjacent to the high-position surface through a step. The tank cover is provided over the low-position surface and at a height position approximately equal to that of the high-position surface to define a liquid reductant tank installation space in cooperation with the low-position surface. The liquid reductant tank has a replenishment port, installed in the liquid reductant tank installation space so that the replenishment port is close to a lower surface of the tank cover.

  • Publication number: 20130236473
    Abstract: A major object of the present invention is to provide a novel therapeutic or prophylactic agent for at least one disease or symptom selected from the group consisting of autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, allergic diseases, and symptoms accompanying organ transplants; the therapeutic or prophylactic agent artificially controls the activity of IL-6 amplifier, thus controlling immune reactions in living organisms. Another object of the present invention is to provide an immunosuppressant, an inflammatory cytokine production inhibitor, and an IL-6 amplifier inhibitor. The compound that inhibits expression of the function of a protein belonging to ErbB1 pathway provided as means for achieving the object is capable of suppressing the activity of IL-6 amplifier, thereby reducing production of inflammatory cytokine such as IL-6.

  • Publication number: 20110037036
    Abstract: Disclosed is composition providing high refractive index to form a transparent conductive film having excellent transparency and high refractive index, a transparent conductive film produced thereby, a display having the transparent conductive film, and a dispersion having high storage stability for use in preparation of the composition. LCDs employ an anti-reflection film produced from the composition containing a metal complex in a resin solution or a solvent and a high refractive index metal oxide and a conductive metal oxide dispersed therein. However, conventional dispersion has problems such as corroding an apparatus and a material employed in a dispersion step and poor storage stability. Disclosed is a dispersion which contains a high refractive index metal oxide having a refractive index of 1.8 or higher, a conductive metal oxide, an alkoxide-free metal complex, and a dispersion medium, and which has a water content of 3 mass % or less.

  • Publication number: 20110039081
    Abstract: A transparent-film-forming composition contains at least one microparticle-form inorganic substance having a refractive index of 1.80 or higher and lower than 3.00 (ingredient A), at least one microparticle-form inorganic substance having a refractive index of 1.55 or higher and lower than 1.80 (ingredient B), and a binder having a refractive index lower than that of the ingredient B, and preferably, a dispersion stabilizer, and being capable of forming, on a surface of a transparent substrate, a transparent film having excellent transparency and free from interference-related disturbance. A transparent-film-layered product has a transparent substrate and, on a surface of the substrate, a transparent film formed from the composition, which layered product exhibits a difference in refractive index between the transparent substrate and the transparent film of 0.03 or smaller and excellent transparency, and providing minimized interference-related disturbance.

  • Publication number: 20100232024
    Abstract: Through employment of a binder component, tin hydroxide powder serving as a conductive powder, and a high-refractive index powder; through dispersal of tin hydroxide powder and light-transmission-ensuring microparticles in a binder component at a predetermined ratio; and through employment of a specific binder component and, as a conductive powder, tin hydroxide powder and a conductive powder other than tin hydroxide powder at a predetermined ratio, there can be provided a composition which can form a transparent conductive film that exhibits excellent antistatic effect, and has very high visible light transmittance and provides transmitted images with natural hue by virtue of no color absorption wherein, if desired, the film also exhibits excellent scratch resistance and high antiglare effect, or the refractive index of the film can be controlled; such a transparent conductive film, and a display having such a transparent conductive film on a screen thereof.
