Abstract: A method for manufacturing a polarizing plate protective film including the steps of: 1) mixing a cellulose ester resin and an organic additive to obtain a mixing composition, 2) placing the mixing composition in a mold to obtain an integral molding, and 3) heating to melt the integral molding so as to form the polarizing plate protective film, wherein the integral molding has a size of 1 mm×1 mm×1 mm to 20 mm×20 mm×20 mm, and the cellulose ester resin is contained in the integral molding in a state of particles.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a method whereby it is possible to cut a single crystal ingot comparatively accurately while allowing resulting slices to have a flat surface, and to lengthen the life of the blade more than would be possible with conventional methods. A single crystal ingot 10a is arranged below a straightly running portion 18a of the blade which is made to run endlessly along a circuit such that the longitudinal axis of ingot 10a crosses at right angles with the straightly running portion 18a of the blade, thereby enabling the straightly running portion 18a of the blade to cut the ingot 10a perpendicularly.

Abstract: An apparatus for reversing a sheet, such as a banknote, from a front face to a rear face. In the reversing apparatus a first end of a common path communicates with an exit of a first conveyance path, a second end of common path communicates with an exit of a second conveyance path, and the first end of common path communicates with a merging path. Since the merging path is immediately after the common path, no delay is caused in the timing of feeding a banknote into the next processing step, improving reversing process performance. A first reversing roller rotates based on the on or off condition of a first electromagnetic clutch and a second reversing roller rotates based on or off condition of a second electromagnetic clutch. A banknote can be quickly and surely conveyed in the common path.

Abstract: Apparatus for reversing a sheet such as a banknote from a front face to a rear face, and vice versa. A reversing apparatus 1 is constructed on the basis of a path configuration wherein one end of common path S communicates with an exit of a first conveyance path 6, the other end of common path S communicates with an exit of a second conveyance path 7, and the one end of common path S communicates with a merging path 8. Since this path arrangement is provided with the merging path 8 immediately after the common path S, no delay is caused in the timing of feeding a banknote R into the next processing step. As a result, an improvement is made in reversing process performance. Furthermore, first reversing roller 21 undergoes rotation based on on/off of first electromagnetic clutch 23 and, likewise, second reversing roller 22 also undergoes rotation based on on/off of second electromagnetic clutch 27. Thus, the banknote R can be quickly and surely conveyed in the common path S.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of assaying a target substance. In the method of the present invention, a complex of the target substance and a substance labelled with peroxidase is fixed to a hydrophobic membrane. Then hydrogen peroxide, an aromatic primary amine and a phenolic compound are contacted with the peroxidase on the membrane to generate and deposit color on the hydrophobic membrane. The deposited color is then measured so as to assay the target substance.
