Patent number: 9796765Abstract: [Problem] The purpose of the present invention is to stably supply high-quality and highly uniform Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA) that recognizes biologically important sugar-chain markers, to elucidate the sugar-chain recognition activity in detail, and to furthermore increase the specificity of the sugar-chain recognition activity. [Solution] The present invention involves the development of a technique for cloning genes for coding Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA) and producing recombinant WFA having the same sugar-chain recognition activity as natural WFA from transformed bacteria. Natural WFA is reduced to thereby manufacture a reduced WFA monomer for specifically recognizing terminal GalNAc residue. A recombinant monomer WFA for recognizing LDN (GalNAc?1, 4GlcNAc) sugar chain, which is important as a diagnostic marker among sugar chains having a terminal GalNAc residue, is manufactured by introducing cysteine mutation to recombinant WFA or by C-terminal-side amino acid deletion.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Takashi Sato, Yasunori Chiba, Hiroaki Tateno, Hiroyuki Kaji, Masanori Goto, Hisashi Narimatsu

Publication number: 20170056140Abstract: In color reproduction for a dental restorative material, in order to achieve a color that closely matches the color of the natural tooth, one technique that is used is to form a mill blank by laminating layers of materials having different colors. However, misidentification of layers frequently occurs. The present invention is a dental mill blank having a plurality of layers and the dental mill blank has a visual identifying portion by which the plurality of layers are visually identifiable. The visual identifying portion may be provided by color or by structure. Providing the visual identifying portion by color refers to coloring the surface of a layer of the dental mill blank and providing the visual identifying portion by structure refers to forming microscopic or macroscopic irregularities in the entire periphery or part of a layer surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Applicant: SHOFU INC.Inventors: Masanori GOTO, Yusei KADOBAYASHI

Patent number: 9508459Abstract: A method to prevent stress corrosion cracking of a storage canister 1, wherein stress corrosion cracking is prevented by applying a compressive stress to a range where a tensile residual stress is generated on a metallic body 2 by welding a cover 4 to a top 2a of the body 2. A first compressive stress is applied beforehand to a range L of the body 2 where a tensile residual stress is expected to be generated by the welding of the cover 4, the tensile residual stress is canceled by welding the cover 4 with a compressive residual stress generated in the range L, and then a second compressive stress is applied so as to generate a compressive residual stress over the range L.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignees: HITACHI ZOSEN CORPORATION, CENTRAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF ELECTRIC POWER INDUSTRYInventors: Akikazu Kitagawa, Akio Ohiwa, Keisuke Okada, Katsunori Kusunoki, Tomohiro Tanaka, Akihito Gohda, Yasuhiro Fukai, Masanori Goto, Koji Shirai

Patent number: 9427379Abstract: Provided are opaque materials exhibiting a good adhesive strength and a good color tone reproduction comparable with natural dental crowns as well as having a good operability. In addition, the opaque materials may exhibit a stain-resistance property in rebuilding-up a dental composition on the opaque materials in a cured form with a metal instrument. Further, the opaque materials may exhibit a good color tone reproduction comparable with natural dental crowns even if a dental membrane is thinly formed from the opaque metals. The dental membrane is formed from a first opaque layer and a second opaque layer, wherein the first opaque layer contains a filler of indefinite-shape particles and the second opaque layer contains a filler of spherical-shape particles, and wherein the first opaque layer is formed on a metal base and the second opaque layer is formed on the first opaque layer.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA SHOFUInventors: Jun Uchida, Mitsuji Teramae, Shuhei Takahashi, Masanori Goto, Ryuichi Yoshimoto
