Abstract: A submerged entry nozzle includes a bottomed cylinder having a vertical side face with at least two outlet ports and having an inner side and an outer side. The outlet port satisfies the following expressions: Vi/Vo?1.1??Expression (l) Ho/Hi?1.1??Expression (2) where Vi indicates a vertical opening dimension of each of the at least two outlet ports on the inner side, Hi indicates a horizontal opening dimension of each of the at least two outlet ports on the inner side, Vo indicates a vertical opening dimension of each of the at least two outlet ports on the outer side, and Ho indicates a horizontal opening dimension of each of the at least two outlet ports on the outer side.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel IL-1? and/or IL-6 expression inhibitor and use thereof. The IL-1? and/or IL-6 expression inhibitor in accordance with an aspect of the present invention contains a component derived from alcoholic fermentation lees.

Abstract: A novel display panel that is highly convenient, useful, or reliable can be provided. The display panel includes a first light-emitting device, a second light-emitting device, a first insulating film, and a conductive film. The first light-emitting device includes a first electrode and a second electrode; the first electrode includes a first region overlapping with the second electrode and a second region outside the first region. The second light-emitting device includes a third electrode and a fourth electrode, and the third electrode includes a third region overlapping with the fourth electrode and a fourth region outside the third region. The first insulating film is in contact with the second region and the fourth region, and the first insulating film includes a first opening and a second opening. The first opening overlaps with the second electrode and the second opening overlaps with the fourth electrode.

Abstract: A printing unit includes a plurality of ink jet parts and an X-axis linear motion mechanism that moves each of the plurality of ink jet parts in the same main scanning direction. The X-axis linear motion mechanism moves the ink jet part involved in printing the workpiece among the plurality of ink jet parts so as to face the surface of the workpiece and moves the remaining ink jet part on the one X-axis linear motion mechanism so as to retreat from the surface of the workpiece. As a result, a printing apparatus that is capable of printing accurately onto the workpiece having a three-dimensional curved surface is provided.

Abstract: An editing device includes a setting unit which sets a role for each device as an editor, in a group of devices as a plurality of editors in which a hierarchical structure is constituted by a director and one or more workers, and an executing unit which executes editing processing corresponding to an editing operation, when each device as the plurality of editors performs the editing operation which has been defined in advance on the basis of the role set by the setting unit.

Abstract: Disclosed are semiconductor laser diodes and laser diode modules for reducing noise in EDFA and TDFA fiber amplifiers, to thereby increase signal bandwidth. A major source of noise is identified as being signal light that is inadvertently coupled from the fiber amplifier to the laser diode, and then returned back to the fiber amplifier as noise. In one aspect of the present invention, the back facet of the laser diode is constructed to achieve a reflectivity to the signal light of 40% or less. In another aspect, an anti-reflective coating is provide on the coupling fiber to the laser diode. A reduction of at least 17 dB in the returned signal is achieved by the present invention.
