Abstract: In an ophthalmic solution comprising an antimicrobial preservative having a quaternary ammonium type cationic group, there are blended a cyclodextrin, EDTA or its salt, and boric acid and/or borax. The solution has an excellent antimicrobial activity and is effective for inhibiting the antimicrobial preservative from adsorbing to contact lenses. It can be instilled to eyes with contact lenses on.

Abstract: A multiple-cable power transmission line system is provided which includes a plurality of overhead transmission lines each having a ridge on the outer periphery thereof. When the outer periphery-to-crest height of the ridge of an overhead transmission line which is located closer to the earth ground is LE and the outer periphery-to-crest height of the ridges of the other overhead transmission lines is L.sub.OT, the relation L.sub.E <L.sub.OT is fulfilled.

Abstract: A membrane protein related to human programmed cell death (PD-1) and DNA encoding the said protein is provided. PD-1 protein may be useful for the treatment of various infections, immunological depression or acceleration, or tumors etc.

Abstract: The treatment of terminals of cables in producing electrical harnesses is effected by cutting a shield ribbon cable into two portions, making shallow cuts on the sheath of each portion, pulling the two cable portions in opposite directions so as to separate their sheath portions from the respective cuts with the uncovered terminals of the cable portions remaining in the sheath portions, and cutting the uncovered terminals outside the respective sheath portions so as to align the cut ends thereof.

Abstract: A facsimile device is composed of three separate units which are connected rotatably with respect to one another. A passageway for recording sheets is formed between the first and second units and can be opened and closed by rotating the second unit with respect to the first unit. Another passageway for an original document is formed between the second and third units and can be opened and closed by rotating the third unit with respect to the second unit. With the device thus structured, a jammed original as well as a jammed recording sheet can be removed quickly from the device.

Abstract: A flavoring material comprising a flavoring wooden material obtained by treating a wooden raw material with pressure and heat for a time period of 30 seconds or longer in the presence of a saturated steam having a pressure of 4 kg/cm.sup.2.G or higher or a super-heated steam having a temperature of 151.degree. C. or higher and thereafter rapidly or slowly discharging the wooden material into an atmosphere having a lower pressure, and a process for producing drinks and foods to which said flavoring material has been added.
