Abstract: A communication device and a method for data management include setting a birth month and a birth day of each contact in a contact list. The method further includes arranging all the contacts in the contact list according to the birth month of each contact, and arranging contacts having the same birth month according to the birth day of each contact sharing the same month.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a self-lubricating bearing, which is a hollow cylindrical body with an axial hole in its center, exhibiting a structure formed by sintering a multiple of spherical alloys particles under microscopy. The self-lubricating bearing has a multiple of pores to receive lubricating oil. Further, the present invention provides a manufacturing process for making self-lubricating bearings.

Abstract: An anti-theft apparatus in which a case for an anti-theft subject is formed by a lid body coupled to a box body via a hinge. An inserting member guided by a guide provided in the case is inserted from an insertion port at a desired position of the case in order to prevent the case from being opened. The inserting member is provided with a retaining hook which is pressed back against a restoring force during insertion of the inserting member, and the case is provided with an engaging portion with which the retaining hook forms a locking relation upon complete insertion of the inserting member. A desired number of retaining hooks are provided on a line in a direction of inserting the inserting member, and the retaining hook partially employs a metal which is operable to be absorbed by a magnet. The inserting member is provided with a stopper for inhibiting the retaining hook from contacting an inner surface of the case during the disengaging procedure.

Abstract: Chimeric proteins containing a cellulose binding domain (CBD) situated between two independent desired proteins of different lengths can be contemplated for use in a wide range of applications. In addition to its affinity to cellulose due to the presence of the CBD, various properties can be adopted to the chimeric protein by means of introducing the desired proteins upstream and downstream of the CBD. For example, a chimeric protein is produced in Escherichia coli in large quantities by joining a thioredoxin, a CBD and a short peptide composed of 3 amino acid (i.e., Arginine-Glutamate-Asparate). This chimeric protein can be further purified in simple steps and added to cell culture to enhance cell attachment to a surface made up of cellulose.
