Abstract: Compositions comprising a purified, isolated antibody, humanized antibodies and precipitates directed against ROR-1, wherein the antibody binds ROR-1 with moderate to high affinity. The compositions may be used for detecting and isolating an amount of ROR-1 in a subject sample, and to evaluate the appearance, status, course, or treatment of a ROR-1 cancer in a subject. The ROR-1 antibodies are especially useful in identifying lymphomas and ademocarcinomas. Vaccines and related methods for protecting a subject against diseases that involve expression of ROR-1 are also provided.

Abstract: A pressure sensor includes a gold-silicon eutectic crystal layer interposed between the contact layer and the silicon substrate. Because the contact layer and the silicon substrate are electrically connected to each other by using a gold-silicon eutectic reaction at the time of bonding the silicon substrate and the glass substrate, a contact resistance between the contact layer and the silicon substrate can be stabilized, and a Q value of the sensor can be stabilized. In addition, since the contact layer and the silicon substrate are bonded to each other by the gold-silicon eutectic reaction, the bonding strength is sufficient.

Abstract: The resin optical component mold includes a first mold and a second mold for defining a cavity for molding a resin optical component having a minutely concavo-convex shaped surface, on which a plurality of minute concave or convex portions in units of submicrons is formed, by injection molding light transmitting resin. A master mold 36 formed of an inorganic oxide layer having a minutely concavo-convex shaped surface 36a, on which a concavo-convex shape complementary to the concavo-convex shape formed on the minutely concavo-convex shaped surface of the resin optical component is formed, is provided on the internal surface of the first mold.

Abstract: A tablet includes a top substrate and a bottom substrate. Minute irregularities are provided on a bottom surface of the bottom substrate. Projections or depressions constituting the minute irregularities are disposed in a staggered arrangement parallel to the direction along which light travels through the light-guide plate or along the vertical direction of a display region in the bottom substrate when viewed by a viewer. Thus, the pitch of the projections or depressions next to each other in the lateral direction is minimized when viewed by the viewer. Hence, even if −1-st order reflected light occurs in the oblique direction with respect to the vertical direction of the display, the −1-st order reflection of blue light with a shorter wavelength in the visible light band can be suppressed.

Abstract: An anti-reflective film has an anti-reflective structure having many micro holes extending from a reference surface (first surface) in the thickness direction of the film. Each of the holes has an opening exposed at the reference surface, and a bottom facing the second surface on the attachment side. Light incident on the anti-reflective film is mostly introduced into the holes through the openings and diffused by the bottoms, thereby avoiding reflection at a predetermined angle. The ratio of a connecting surface which reflects light is suppressed to increase the ratio of the openings, thereby maximizing the anti-reflective ability of the anti-reflective structure.
