Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an advertisement information sharing system which allows anyone to easily carry out a manuscript publication of an article with an advertisement added thereto and by presenting such an advertisement as to draw attention of readers of the article, makes it possible to accelerate the manuscript publication of the advertisement article by the contributor and the browsing and utilization of the advertisement by the readers. The advertisement information sharing system is provided with a contributor terminal for outputting an article with an advertisement added thereto, a user terminal for outputting user information and an advertisement information sharing server.

Abstract: When the received allocation request information indicates that the user information is obtained from the information communication terminal, the controller makes the storage unit store the allocation request information, and after elapse of a predetermined time from the reception of the allocation request information, reads the allocation request information to decide the allocation elevator to which the call relating to the allocation request information is to be allocated, and transmits information indicating the decided allocation elevator to the information communication terminal via a predetermined radio communication device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a substituted thiazolo?3,2-a!azepine derivative having inhibitory activity against angiotensin I converting enzyme and neutral endpeptidase.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an amino acid derivative having an angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibition activity, a vasopressin antagonism and an atrial natriuretic peptide hydrolase inhibition activity.This amino acid derivative is represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom or an acyl group; R.sup.2 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an ary group which may have a substituent, a heteroaryl group which may have a substituent, an arylalkyl group which may have a substituent or a heteroarylalkyl group which may have a substituent;m and n represent each independently an integer of 0, 1 or 2 andJ represents a cyclic group having an angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibition activity.

Abstract: Disclosed is a horizontal position detecting device for maintaining the surface of a body to be inspected vertically to the optical axis of a main objective lens. The device includes an illumination optical system and a condenser lens system. The illumination optical system supplies parallel light rays to the surface of the body from the direction oblique to the optical axis of the objective lens. The condenser lens system condenses the light rays supplied by the illumination optical system and reflected by the surface of the body. The optical axes of the illumination optical system and the condenser lens system are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the axis of the objective lens.

Abstract: An epidark illumination system for use with a microscope in which a sample is illuminated from around an objective by a ring-shaped light flux having its center coincident with the optic axis of the objective to enable the sample to be observed in a dark field of view comprises a ring-shaped condenser lens member disposed adjacent to the forward end of the objective with the center of the lens member being coincident with the optic axis of the objective to condense the light flux upon the sample, and a scattering member for scattering the ring-shaped light flux disposed in the light path before the ring-shaped light flux reaches the ring-shaped condenser lens member.
