Abstract: A ceiling member for vehicles according to the present invention includes a base material layer, and a surface skin material layer laminated on the base material layer. The surface skin material layer is a fabric made of a woven fabric or a knitted fabric, the fabric having a raised portion formed by raising a rear surface thereof, and the raised portion is directly bonded to the base material layer. Thus, a ceiling member for vehicles light in weight and enhanced in recycling efficiency can be provided while eliminating a bonding step using urethane.

Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a light source unit including light emitting elements halving different wavelengths, wherein n (n is an integer higher that 2) light emitting elements have at least one wavelength; and a light-up controller which drives the light emitting elements having different wavelengths in a time-sequential manner within a time period, wherein the light-up controller divides the n light emitting elements having at least one wavelength into m (m is an integer satisfying 2?m?n) light-up groups having a same light-up timing, and the m light-up groups are alternately lighted at a frequency of 1/m within the time period, so that any one of the m light-up groups can be lighted within the time period.

Abstract: An LED illumination unit, a projection display device using the LED illumination unit, and a method of operating the LED illumination unit are provided. The LED illumination unit includes a light source with a plurality of LEDs, and a lighting control unit which sequentially turns on the LEDs for lighting time sections which are assigned for each LED in a cyclic time period. The lighting control unit includes a driving signal modulator which generates a modulation signal for turning on at least one of the LEDs with a lighting duty that is shorter than the lighting time section for the at least one of the LEDs. The method includes sequentially turning on a plurality of LEDs of the LED illumination unit for lighting time sections which are assigned for each LED in a cyclic time period. At least one of the LEDs is turned on with a lighting duty that is shorter than its lighting time section.

Abstract: A drug for preventing and curing liver diseases comprising at least one member selected from interleukin-1 and its derivatives as an effective component. The drug meaningfully suppresses GOT and GPT activities in blood which are markers of liver diseases, and also suppresses symptoms such as choloplania.

Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies exhibiting specificity for human TNF-.alpha. are disclosed. The antibodies are useful for immunological purification and for measurement of said human TNF-.alpha. in immunoassays.

Abstract: A screen device suited to use in a projection type display device for a high-definition television set. The screen device includes a screen on which television images are projected, and a screen frame to which this screen is attached at the central section thereof. Incorporated into this screen frame are speakers which are used as the front speakers of a sound reproduction system of the type which is commonly known as the 3-1 type 4-channel system.

Abstract: A focus adjustment changeover circuit for a projection display television receiver having red, green and blue-emission CRTs includes a changeover switch for selecting an operating mode in which a level of current is supplied to the static focus coil of the blue-emission CRT such as to precisely focus the electron beam of that CRT, so that projection lens focus adjustment for that CRT can be easily performed with a test pattern signal being projected, and an operating mode in which the current supplied to that static focus coil causes the electron beam of the blue CRT to be slightly defocused, so that white balance adjustment of the television receiver can be executed while a television picture is projected.

Abstract: The antibiotic of the invention is produced from a novel strain belonging to Streptomyces hygroscopicus, acts against various bacteria and is useful, for example, as active components of antibacterial compositions.

Abstract: A process for producing an antibiotic Cephamycin C which comprises cultivating a strain of Streptomyces sp. OFR 1022 in a culture medium to accumulate therein Cephamycin C and recovering said Cephamycin C.

Abstract: In the present invention, after a powdered iron ore has been subjected to granulation and firing into spherical pellets, a further crushing is applied while adjustment of the particle size of the crushed pellets is made so that the outer surface of the pellets is composed of spherically formed surfaces and crushed surfaces. By doing so, improvements are made in the angle of repose and in the reducing characteristic of iron ore pellets, and eventually an efficient and highly economical blast furnace operation is attained.

Abstract: A device adapted for automatically retreating a side stand of a motorcycle when the motorcycle is started to drive is disclosed, which includes a spring normally urging the side stand in a direction of being deflected towards a retreated position; a lock member for retaining the side stand in a service position; a rotary member having a projection thereon and adapted to rotate when the motorcycle is started to run; a lever pivotally supported by a pin mounted on the body of the motorcycle and adapted to project within the passage of rotation of the projection; and a cable or rod interconnecting said lock member and said lever, such that, in association with the movement of said lever, caused by the rotation of the projection, in a direction to be retracted from the passage of rotation of the projection, said lock member is allowed to release the side stand.
