  • Publication number: 20160049709
    Abstract: A phase shifter, which reduces the loss of transmission/reception signals, includes: a linear conductor (211); a conductor (212) curved to form an arc of a radius Ro; and a conductor (214) that has a curving portion (214a) curved to form an arc of a radius Ri, and that also has an extending portion (214b) linearly extending from one end of the curving portion (214a). The phase (phase shift amount) varies depending on the rotation of the conductor (214) about a rotation axis (220) which causes the position of a part (?) where the curving portion (214a) overlaps the conductor (211) to move along the curving portion (214a) and the position of a part (?) where the extending portion (214b) overlaps the conductor (212) to move along the conductor (212).

  • Patent number: 9205111
    Abstract: A novel process for preparing tumor-specific T cells is disclosed. According to the invention, antitumor-active, tumor-specific T cells are prepared by transducing a TCR gene from a tumor-specific CTL into antitumor-active T cells that have been nonspecifically activated, thus enabling tumor-specific cellular immunotherapy to be carried out from even small amounts of blood. MHC class I-restricted, tumor-specific Th cells are obtained by the method, allowing for the production of cells that react with tumor cells expressing an MHC class I molecule and show a helper activity and an antitumor activity.
