Abstract: An optical element manufacturing method has a preparation step of preparing a lower mold and an upper mold. The lower mold has an outer shape restricting surface for the optical element. A reference surface formation step of forms a positioning reference surface on a rim of the optical element by heating the outer shape restricting surface of the lower mold and dropping molten glass onto the lower mold surface so as to collide with the lower mold surface and spread to be in contact with the outer shape restricting surface. A pressing step forms the two opposed optical function surfaces of the optical element by pressing the glass. A temperature of the outer shape restricting surface in the reference surface formation step and the pressing step is higher than a temperature which is 100° C. less than a glass transition temperature (° C.) of the glass.

Abstract: A vehicle door, wherein a drive unit for raising and lowering a glass plate is constructed so that a plurality of pulleys across which wires are laid are provided at upper and lower sides of a base panel. The glass plate is moved up and down by driving the wires, and the glass plate is prevented from moving in a vehicle inward direction when the door is closed. Wire fixing portions are prevented from being damaged by large upward and downward stroke movements of the glass plate Furthermore, the wires are prevented from slackening when the wires are driven and stopped by providing a supporting rod along a path of upward and downward movement of the glass plate, and a contact member which has no contact with the supporting rod. Trumpet-shaped guide portions are provided at hole edges of the wire fixing portions, and the V-shaped circumferential surfaces of a tensioner eliminates slack in the wires.

Abstract: A vehicle door drive unit for raising and lowering a glass plate is constructed so that a plurality of pulleys across which wires extend are provided at upper and lower sides of a base panel. The glass plate is supported by a carrier plate which is connected to the wire ends. The glass plate is moved up and down by the wires and is prevented from excessively moving in a vehicle inward direction when the door is closed by a supporting rod positioned along an upward and downward path of the glass plate and a contact member. Trumpet shaped guide portions are formed at the edges of holes of the wire fixing portions of the carrier plate and the circumferential surfaces of a V-shaped tensioner are provided for eliminating slack in the wires.

Abstract: It is intended to obtain a mesenchymal stem cell in the early stage of differentiation from a pluripotent stem cell differentiated in vitro. A mesenchymal stem cell is obtainable by: a) the step of culturing pluripotent stem cells, b) the step of confirming the appearance of a cell with stroma cell-like morphology, and c) the step of selecting and separating a PDGFR ?-positive and FLK1-negative cell.

Abstract: It is intended to prepare endodermal stem cells by differentiation from multipotential stem cells followed by isolation. This object can be achieved by separating various endodermal stem cells having been differentiated from multipotential stem cells with the use of, as indications, a specific cell surface marker, an organizer-specific marker and the expression manner of E-cadherin.

Abstract: A vehicle door, wherein a drive unit for raising and lowering a glass plate is constructed so that a pluraity of pulleys across which wires are laid are provided at upper and lower sides of a base panel. The glass plate is moved up and down by driving the wires, the glass plate is prevented from moving in a vehicle inward direction when the door is closed. Wire fixing portions are prevented from being damaged by great upward and downward stroke movements of the glass plate. Furthermore, the wires are prevented from slackening when the wires are driven and stopped by a supporting rod along an upward and downward movement locus of the glass plate, and by a contact member which has no contact with the supporting rod. Trumpet-shaped guide portions are located at hole edges of the wire fixing portions, and the circumferential surfaces of a tensioner are V-shaped for eliminating slack in the wires.

Abstract: A network print system having a printer and a memory server connected through a communication network is capable of recovering from a printer error securely without re-transmitting data from a computer. The printer comprises an input unit for receiving print data from the communication network, an interpretation controller for converging the received print data into a file in a printer intermediate language, an expansion controller for expanding the file in the printer intermediate language into bit map data, a memory data input/output unit for exchanging data in the printer intermediate language with the memory server through the communication network, and a error detector for detecting a printer error. Simultaneously to the print output, the printer stores data in the printer intermediate language in the memory server, and reads back the data of pages which is not delivered in the case of an error.
