Publication number: 20160303167Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a chondrogenesis promoter that is safe and exhibits a chondrogenesis-promoting effect by daily ingestion. It is also an object of the invention to provide a proteoglycan synthesis promoter that exhibits a proteoglycan synthesis-promoting effect by ingestion. Provided are a chondrogenesis promoter and a proteoglycan synthesis promoter each containing a milk-derived basic protein fraction as an active ingredient. Synthesis of proteoglycan and formation of a cartilage can be promoted by oral ingestion of the milk-derived basic protein fraction. A hydrolysate of the milk-derived basic protein fraction also has a similar chondrogenesis-promoting effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2016Publication date: October 20, 2016Applicant: MEGMILK SNOW BRAND CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshihiko TAKANO, Takayuki NARA, Ken KATO, Yoshikazu MORITA

Publication number: 20160190598Abstract: A negative electrode collector using a copper-covered steel foil for carrying a negative electrode active material for lithium ion secondary batteries has a steel sheet as the core material thereof and has, on both surfaces thereof, a copper covering layer having a mean thickness tCu of from 0.02 to 5.0 ?m on each surface, and of which the total mean thickness, t, including the copper covering layer 7 is from 3 to 100 ?m with tCu/t of at most 0.3. The steel sheet can be common steel, austenitic stainless steel, or ferritic stainless steel. The copper covering layer can be a copper electroplating layer (including one rolled after plating). On the surface of the copper covering layer, for example, a carbon-based active material layer that has been densified through strong roll pressing is formed, and the copper-covered steel foil and the carbon-based active material layer constitute the negative electrode collector.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2016Publication date: June 30, 2016Inventors: Sho MAJIMA, Takao Tsujimura, Takeshi Shimizu, Yoshikazu Morita, Takahiro Fujii, Norihiro Kon, Yoshie Yoshida
