The through structure comprises a through sleeve extending through the wall, with the connecting lines extending therethrough, a first seal member filled in the through sleeve for sealing between the through sleeve and the connecting lines, and a second seal member for sealing between the through sleeve and the wall.

Abstract: To provide a liquid droplet ejection method which can detect abnormality of a nozzle, an ejection head including a plurality of nozzles has, for the respective nozzles, a camera unit that images from the inside of a nozzle to its peripheral portion. A captured image processing unit converts the captured image into an image which can recognize at least one of a state of a meniscus inside the nozzle, the shape of a nozzle opening and states of surface films formed inside and outside the nozzle, and sends the converted image to a comparison determination unit. The comparison determination unit compares the converted image with a reference image which is previously stored in a determination condition storing unit. As a result, for an objective nozzle, the quality (nozzle abnormality) of ejection performance is determined.

As the results of extensive studies, a novel transaldolase gene is isolated from chromosomal DNA of a microorganism belonging to the genus Corynebacterium as a DNA fragment complementary to the requirement for shikimic acid of a transketolase defective variant obtained as a variant with the requirement for shikimic acid belonging to the genus Corynebacterium. Further, a recombinant DNA containing this gene is constructed and transferred into a host microorganism, thereby achieving the objects as described above.

Abstract: A welding method is disclosed for butt welding a first base material 1 and a second base material 2 with each other. To also permit stable and efficient formation of a bead in the form of a fillet weld on a back side of a groove by conducting arc welding from the side of the groove without arranging a bead beforehand on the back side of the groove, the first member 1, on which a root face 1a and a single groove face 1b have been formed, is brought at its root face 1a into contact with a flat surface 2a of the second base material 2. A welding wire 6 is arranged facing on the groove formed by the contact between the first base material 1 and the second base material 2. The first base material 1 and the second material 2 are caused to fuse at an area of contact between them by an arc from the welding wire 6. A melt, which has been formed by the fusion at the area of contact and the like, is forced out to the back side of the groove to form a bead B4 in the form of a fillet weld on the back side of the groove.
