  • Patent number: 10274239
    Abstract: [Task] To provide an automatic ice maker with improved corrosion resistance to prevent ice-making water and ice from being contaminated by a corrosion product such as rust, thereby enhancing the reliability of food sanitation. [Means for solution] The automatic ice maker produces ice having a required shape by supplying ice-making water in circulation to an ice compartment 10 that is cooled by a cooling pipe 48. The automatic ice maker has an electroless nickel-phosphorus plated coating 23 formed in a thickness of 15 ?m or more on an outermost layer of the ice compartment 10, which coating 23 contains a 10% to 15% phosphorus component.

  • Patent number: 8267016
    Abstract: An open/close control system for an inspection lid adapted not to open while a vehicle travels. An emergency release device is provided behind the inspection lid, where the emergency release device disables power transmission of a driver which opens and closes a side entrance/exit door of a railway vehicle. The emergency release device is installed in a space inside a wall surface inside the vehicle, and the space can be opened and closed by the inspection lid. The open/close control system has a locking device provided in the space inside the wall surface in order to restrict rotation of the inspection lid, and also has an open/close controller which detects traveling of the railway vehicle to actuate the locking device.

  • Publication number: 20070184497
    Abstract: Present invention provides a diagnostic means for testing infection of adult in humans parasitized with adult Taenia solium and Taenia saginata. It was found that a hydrophobic ligand binding protein (HLBP) derived from an adult separated from tapeworms has an antigenicity. The present invention is a clinical diagnostic reagent for testing infection of adult Taenia solium and Taenia saginata, comprising, as a main ingredient, (a) a peptide containing at least residues 22-65 of residues 20-85 of any amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 4 or (b) a peptide containing an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5. It is possible to examine the adult infection of Taenia solium and Taenia saginata by reacting the clinical diagnostic reagent with serum from a subject (human).

  • Patent number: 6962957
    Abstract: An epoxy resin composition for semiconductor encapsulation comprising (A) an epoxy resin, (B) a phenolic resin, and (C) butadiene rubber particles having an average particle size of secondary particles of 100 ?m or smaller and having such a size distribution that the proportion of secondary particles having a particle size of 250 ?m or smaller is 97% by weight or more, and the proportion of secondary particles having a particle size of 150 ?m or smaller is 80% by weight or more. Component (C) is uniformly dispersed in the composition without forming coarse agglomerates to secure low stress properties.
