Abstract: A simple method of manufacturing a bearing housing coaxially accommodating two bearings is proposed. A male mold with a core and a female mold are used. A fluid synthetic resin is inserted into a space left between the male mold and the female mold to form a bearing housing. This method assures that two bearings are exactly coaxial with each other.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for assaying fatty acids in a system containing albumin together with the fatty acids using acyl-CoA synthetase, characterized by performing the assay in the presence of a water-soluble salt of a dibasic fatty acid having 10 to 18 carbon atoms or a benzenesulfonate optionally having one or more C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 side chains.

Abstract: An electric generator to be mounted on an agricultural tractor or the like is proposed, in which a rotor and its related parts and a stator and its related parts are molded of plastics into integral units, respectively. The construction is much simpler than that of the conventional generators.

Abstract: A braking device including a circular rotor coaxially fixed to the shaft of a rotary machine, a brake drum made of a material for elastic deformation and mounted on the rotor, and rollers interposed between the circular rotor and the brake drum. The rollers are adapted for rotation around the axis of the rotor as long as the brake drum maintains circularity, and adapted to be locked between the rotor and the brake drum when the brake drum is caused to deviate from circularity.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for the renewal of a deactivated insolubilized glucose isomerase which comprises subjecting an insolubilized glucose isomerase adsorbed onto an anion exchange resin, which has been used for isomerization of glucose into fructose to decrease its activity, to treatments by an aqueous mineral acid solution in combination with an aqueous alkaline solution, an aqueous electrolytic salt solution, an aqueous mineral acid or a mixture thereof to release adsorbed materials from the resin which is converted into a salt type and adsorbing fresh glucose isomerase to the regenerated resin to recover the activity of the insolubilized glucose isomerase.

Abstract: A method for preservation of an aqueous glucose isomerase solution is disclosed in which an aqueous glucose isomerase solution is mixed with a an alkaline material to adjust its pH value within a range of from 9 to 12 whereby the aqueous solution can be stored at room temperature for a period not less than three days without microbial contamination, putrefaction, denaturation and deactivation of the glucose isomerase.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for producing an insolubilized glucose isomerase useful for converting glucose into fructose comprising contacting a macroporous anion exchange resin with glucose isomerase to effect absorption of the isomerase on the resin, said resin having high porosity and high ion exchange capacity, whereby the resulted insolubilized glucose isomerase has high degree of adsorption, high activity retention and high activity yield.

Abstract: A bearing assembly is disclosed which includes a ball bearing, a cover secured to the outer race of the bearing, and a synthetic resin molded member formed on the cover by injection molding. This bearing design reduces the necessity of machining substantially and is therefore suited for mass production.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for isomerization of glucose into fructose which comprises contacting an aqueous glucose solution with glucose isomerase in the presence of iron ion and magnesium ion, said glucose isomerase being in the form of insolubilized glucose isomerase adsorbed on a carrier.

Abstract: There is provided a method for producing revolving parts, such as sprockets, gears and pulleys, for light loads. A metallic annular member formed with notches in its inner periphery is mounted on a bearing. A boss is molded on each side of the annular member by use of a mold to secure the annular member to the outer race of the bearing. Engaging means formed in the outer periphery of the outer race of the bearing serve to make the annular member integral with the outer race.
