Abstract: A soundproofing material 1 includes: a first sheet-like acoustic material 10; a second sheet-like acoustic material 20 stacked on the first acoustic material 10 in a thickness direction; and a coating member 30 covering the second acoustic material 20 from a side opposite to the first acoustic material 10, and adhered to the first acoustic material 10.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique for further improving the quietness in a vehicle cabin while reducing an increase in the weight of a motor vehicle. A noise reduction member, arranged in a fender inner space defined between a fender panel serving as an exterior panel for a motor vehicle and an inner fender forming a wheelhouse, includes a pair of wall portions which are made of a foamed material and arranged to be spaced apart from each other.

Abstract: Disclosed is an IgE antibody inhibitor containing glucomannan. Also disclosed is an IgE antibody inhibitory food containing glucomannan.

Abstract: An immunosuppressive agent and food, which can prevent type I allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases, rejections in organ transplant and improve morbid states even when these diseases are induced, and which are safe and easy to intake. The immunosuppressive agent and food contain a fine powder of a hydrophilic polysaccharide. Preferably, the fine powder of hydrophilic polysaccharide is in the form of glucomannan which is refined konjak flour, has a dietary fiber content of 90% or more, and is easily soluble in water. For making the glucomannan into an easily water-soluble state, it is preferably subjected to a pulverization treatment. Preferably, the glucomannan subjected to the pulverization treatment has a weight average molecular weight of 1,000,000 or more and an average particle diameter of 100 &mgr;m or less, and a period of time until 1% aqueous solution thereof reaches the viscosity peak at room temperature is within 30 minutes. As a fort, powder, capsule, tablet, pill or granule may be mentioned.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a method for regenerating inorganic porous particles, a method for purifying water and a continuous water purification device, which can be easily applied as a recycling system of water in special environments such as space environment, by safely removing impurities contained in water and water vapor with a usage of a compact facility without using any chemicals. The method for regenerating inorganic porous particles is characterized in that adsorbed products such as ammonia and/or amines, are reduced by heating to 100-200° C. under a reduced pressure of 10 Pa or less. The method for purifying water and the continuous water purification device are characterized in that a dense membrane having cationic groups and/or a composite membrane in which a hydrophilic membrane is layered on a surface of a hydrophobic porous membrane is used as a permeable membrane are used as a permeable membrane.
