Publication number: 20080009444Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a biologically active complex comprising at least two heterologous molecules. More particularly, the biologically active complex of the present invention comprises at least two polypeptides or parts, fragments, truncates or protease-activated forms of one or more of the polypeptides wherein the complex alone or in association with a receptor, ligand or other molecule facilitates proliferation, differentiation and/or survival of a cell. The identification of the biologically active complex of the present invention permits the assay for agonists and antagonists of the formation of the biologically active complex as well as therapeutic and diagnostic reagents based on the biologically active complex or interaction between the biologically active complex and a receptor, ligand or other molecule.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2007Publication date: January 10, 2008Applicant: Zenyth Operations Pty LtdInventors: Andrew Nash, Kim Jachno, Louis Fabri, Kate Reid, Perry Bartlett, Douglas Hilton, Yasuhiko Nakata, Masakazu Hasegawa

Patent number: 6996606Abstract: To provide a junk mail rejection system which can effectively reject junk mail in electronic mail. When junk mail transmitted from many and unspecified persons is sent to a first electronic mail address registered in a first mail distribution service center, sources of the junk mail are not acceptable electronic mail addresses, and a reception enable unit rejects receiving the junk mail, thereby avoiding transmission of the junk mail to subscribers. On the other hand, the electronic mail transmitted from many and unspecified persons and not to be rejected by the reception enable unit is transmitted to a second electronic mail address.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2002Date of Patent: February 7, 2006Assignee: Nihon Digital Co., Ltd.Inventor: Masakazu Hasegawa

Patent number: 5575544Abstract: An anti-theft apparatus for use in a vehicle-mounted electronic component includes a removable control panel. Protrusions on a first side of the control panel engage holes in a first side of an equipment body of the electronic component and function as hinges as the control panel is rotated to a mounted position. A first electrical connector on the equipment body engages a second electrical connector on a rear surface of the control panel and a biasing member exerts a force against the rear surface of the control panel. The control panel includes a recess in a second side into which a locking protrusion of a locking mechanism in the equipment body extends. A button actuates the locking mechanism retracting the locking protrusion and allowing the biasing member to eject the control panel from the equipment body. The locking protrusion is retracted by a sliding cam or directly by depression of the button.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1993Date of Patent: November 19, 1996Assignee: Clarion Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masakazu Hasegawa, Tomoji Yoshida, Takeshi Baba

Patent number: 5449228Abstract: When an operating unit (10) of a vehicle-mounted electronic equipment is attached to its equipment body (20), a first engaging portion (18) and a second engaging portion (24) of engaging means are engaged and the operating unit is turned around the engaging means in a direction in which the operating unit contacts the equipment body substantially completely. In this case, a releasing member (11) moves a locking member (4) to a releasing position. Under such situation, a locking portion (7) of the operating unit and a locking portion (6) of the equipment body are aligned in position. The locking member (4) is then turned to a locking position where the locking means is locked to thereby complete the attachment of the operating unit to the equipment body.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1992Date of Patent: September 12, 1995Assignee: Clarion Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomoji Yoshida, Masakazu Hasegawa, Takeshi Baba

Patent number: 5052291Abstract: A screen printing method includes the steps of moving a doctor plate across a printing screen to apply a paste thereon and then moving a squeegee across the screen to deposit a paste on an object below the screen while maintaining a predetermined pressure of the screen against the object to produce a substantially even deposition of the paste. The method also can include varying the squeegee pressure as the screen tension varies to maintain the predetermined printing pressure and using a screen aligning mark on an imaging plane to correct the positional relationship between the screen and the object.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1989Date of Patent: October 1, 1991Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Tetsuo Takahashi, Akio Sasaki, Kunio Mogi, Hajime Shimazaki, Masakazu Hasegawa

Patent number: 4416601Abstract: Apparatus for continuously vulcanizing a covered material on a conductor comprises a feed device for feeding the conductor in one direction at a constant speed and an extruder for applying the covered material to the conductor fed from the feed means. A vulcanizing tube extends from the extruder, the cable passing through the vulcanizing tube. The vulcanizing tube has a curing section extending from its inlet to a location intermediate its inlet and outlet. A take-off device is disposed forwardly of the vulcanizing tube for hauling the cable. A load applying device is disposed between the extruder and the take-off device for applying a load to the traveling cable at a location forwardly of the curing section of the vulcanizing tube, so that a tension exerted on the cable in a direction opposite to the direction of travel of the cable is applied to the traveling cable.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 1981Date of Patent: November 22, 1983Assignee: Fujikura Cable Works, Ltd.Inventors: Masakazu Hasegawa, Michio Takaoka, Hiroto Oshima, Keiichiro Kataoka
