  • Publication number: 20220226512
    Abstract: Composite particles, each of which is obtained by forming, on the surface of a gadolinium oxide-containing particle, a cover film that contains a polymer obtained by polymerizing a monomer component containing a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond; a macrophage imaging agent which contains the composite particles; and a method for producing composite particles, wherein a monomer component containing a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated bond and gadolinium oxide-containing particles are mixed with each other, and after emulsifying the thus-obtained monomer component-containing mixture in water in the presence of a surfactant and a polymerization initiator in water, the monomer component is polymerized, thereby forming cover films on the surfaces of the gadolinium oxide-containing particles.

  • Patent number: 10493929
    Abstract: A cable guide attachment structure that enables a cable guide to be attached in a right-side up manner on both the left and right sides of a vehicle. The attachment structure includes a cable guide into which a wire harness is inserted, a fixing bracket for holding an end portion of the cable guide and being fixed to a body, and wrong assembly prevention portions that include a projecting portion provided on the end portion of the cable guide and a receding portion provided in the fixing bracket. The wrong assembly prevention portions are provided at reversed positions between the cases where the fixing bracket is fixed on the left and right sides of the body. The projecting portion fits into the receding portion if the cable guide is right-side up, and the projecting portion does not fit into the receding portion if the cable guide is upside down.
