  • Patent number: 9487566
    Abstract: The present invention relates to protein purification. More particularly, a method for directly recovering an objective protein from a protein composition and purifying a protein with a desired quality in a rapid and efficient manner is provided. Further, a rapid purification method capable of efficiently removing impurities included in the protein composition is provided. Therefore, compared to the conventional purification methods, quality and yield of the protein can be remarkably improved.

  • Patent number: 9463517
    Abstract: In a single-wire type wire saw, a work is fed relatively to a wire stretched between a pair of grooved guide rollers disposed in the same direction and the work is cut by traveling the wire. When a cutting-feeding direction changes during a cutting of the work, an operation shaft is moved along an arc around the center axis of the wire in a cutting area and simultaneously support arms are rotated around the operation shaft to thereby oppose the wire support direction of the pair of grooved guide rollers to the cutting-feeding direction.

  • Publication number: 20090028657
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to propose a machine tool having a linear guide device with new construction enabling exchange of a linear guide by easy work. With regard to a machine tool having linear guide devices 1 each of which has a base 11, guide rails 12 mounted on the base 11, linear guides 2 movably mounted on the guide rails 12, and jack-up mechanism comprising a saddle 9 (moving body) movably supported by the guide rails 12 through the linear guides and jack-up bolts 5 arranged between the base 11 and the saddle, the linear guides are fixed to the saddle through a fixing member, the fixation of the linear guides to the saddle is released by operating the fixing member, and gaps 8 are formed between the saddle and the linear guides by the jack-up mechanism arranged between the base and the saddle (moving body), whereby the linear guides can be exchanged.
