  • Patent number: 10234456
    Abstract: The present invention provides an easy-to-use and higher-sensitivity immunochromatography device for an RSV, the device using an antibody that binds specifically to F protein of the RSV in a determination region of a chromatography medium, a test kit by an immunochromatography method, and a method for detecting an RSV using these device and kit. The present invention relates to an immunochromatography device in which not only an antibody that binds specifically to F protein of an RSV but also an antibody that binds specifically to N protein of the RSV is solid-phased in a determination region of a chromatography medium. The present invention also relates to a test kit by an immunochromatography method, and a method for detecting an RSV using these device and kit.

  • Publication number: 20110000072
    Abstract: To efficiently assemble or manufacture a belt by fastening a plurality of elements in a circular manner using a ring. A pair of receiving members for holding the ring respectively includes a first receiving face to which the ring is applied, and a second receiving face which is formed on an outer circumferential side of the first receiving face to hold the element attached to the ring therebetween. A thrust mechanism is adapted to straighten a portion of the ring between the receiving members by moving at least one of the receiving members away from the other receiving member thereby applying a tension to the ring, and to adjust a distance between the receiving members thereby equalizing the tension being applied to the ring in both of a case in which the ring is applied to the receiving member and a case in which the element attached to the ring is applied to the receiving member.

  • Publication number: 20110000074
    Abstract: A belt assembling method for assembling a belt, by fastening a plurality of plate-like elements in a circular manner, using a ring having a width wider than an opening width of an opening formed in the element. The method includes: holding the elements in an inner circumferential side of the ring in an orientation to open the opening toward an inner circumferential face of the ring; inclining the ring while displacing widthwise by pushing an outer circumferential face of the ring partially toward the opening, at a side of one of open ends of the opening; and relatively moving the ring and the element close to each other thereby letting the inclined ring through the opening to fit the ring with the element.

  • Publication number: 20060134078
    Abstract: A medium containing hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) was shown to induce neurosphere formation. Furthermore, the addition of HGF to a culture medium containing FGF-2, EGF, or both increased both the size and number of newly formed neurospheres. Thus, the present invention relates to a growth medium comprising HGF for culturing neural stem cells and methods for culturing the cells using the culture medium.

  • Patent number: 4641195
    Abstract: A scanning speed modulating apparatus for a television receiver. A differentiated signal derived by differentiating a video signal is supplied to a horizontal deflecting coil, so that a current having a waveform corresponding to that of the differentiated signal and superposed on a horizontal deflecting signal flows through the horizontal deflecting coil.

  • Patent number: 4324995
    Abstract: A thrust preventive device for the output shaft of an electric motor comprises an electric motor having one end face from which an output shaft is projected and a rotating force transmitting member secured outside the motor to a portion of the output shaft which is projected from the one end face of the motor. The one end face of the motor has a recess therein. The rotating force transmitting member comprises a fly-wheel and a pulley. The fly-wheel has one end face which opposes the one end face of the motor and another face which is connected to the pulley. A projection which is formed of iron is provided on the one end face of the fly-wheel and projects toward the one end face of the motor and into the recess. The projection is attracted in one direction taken along a central axis of the output shaft by the magnetic force from the permanent magnets which are located in the motor housing to rotate the output shaft.
