  • Publication number: 20180296485
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a liposome and a liposome composition in which release of a drug in blood is suppressed during accumulation of the liposome and the liposome composition in a target site such as a tumor and the drug is rapidly removed after the liposome and the liposome composition are sufficiently accumulated. According to the present invention, there is provided a liposome containing at least a phospholipid to which a hydrophilic polymer is bonded, a phospholipid having a negative charge within a range of a pH of 6 to 8, and a phospholipid which is electrically neutral within a range of a pH of 6 to 8, in which an average carbon chain length of the phospholipid to which the above-described hydrophilic polymer is bonded is shorter than an average carbon chain length of the above-described phospholipid which is electrically neutral within a range of a pH of 6 to 8.

  • Patent number: 10087035
    Abstract: A folding processing unit in a sheet post-processing device comprises a first conveying path, upstream side conveying rollers, downstream side conveying rollers, folding rollers between the upstream side conveying rollers and the downstream side conveying rollers, and the second folding rollers. The folding rollers fold a sheet at the first nip portion between the two rollers. The second folding rollers are placed at a downstream side of the first nip portion. An edge face detection sensor for detecting the edge face of the sheet is placed on the first conveying path, at a downstream side of the first nip portion. The second folding rollers pinch the sheet folded by the first nip portion at the second nip portion, to further fold the sheet, based on the detection result of the edge face detection sensor. Herewith, degree of accuracy for folding behavior improves.

  • Patent number: 9738288
    Abstract: An acceleration/deceleration erroneous operation determination device improves determination accuracy on whether or not a driver is erroneously performing an accelerator operation instead of a brake operation. A pedal opening degree by a driver and a continuation time for which the pedal opening degree is greater than an opening degree threshold value are detected. When the continuation time exceeds a time threshold value, it is determined that the driver is erroneously performing an accelerator operation instead of a brake operation. A vehicle speed of a vehicle, a rising gradient of a road surface, and an accelerator operation time operated by the driver are detected. The opening degree threshold value is made variable in accordance with the vehicle speed, the rising gradient, and the operation time. The time threshold value is made variable in accordance with the vehicle speed, the rising gradient, and the operation time.
