Abstract:
The present invention provides an ex vivo method, a chip and a kit detecting genetic predisposition of a subject for resistance to virus. The present method, chip and kit utilize specific SNPs and nucleotide polymorphisms accumulated in ESN (HIV-I -exposed but uninfected) individuals as markers of resistance to virus. Further, the present invention provides preventative and therapeutic means to confer resistance to virus infection.
Abstract:
A black photosensitive resin composition comprising a specific amount of carbon black grafted with a polymeric compound, a resinous material, a cross-linking agent and a photoacid generator; and a color filter having a black matrix made from the composition and being free from any portion raised by the overlapping of colored pixels and the matrix. The composition can form a black matrix which has a high density enough to shield the light and exhibits a low reflectance, thus permitting the production of a color filter having a high smoothness and a high film strength.
Abstract:
The optical information recording medium according to the present invention is capable of recording information at an extremely high density and reading the information at a high speed by providing at least one cell having a diffraction grating on a planar substrate; dividing the cell into nŸ (nŸ is 2 or a greater integer) regions so that each of the divided cells displays one set of binary data; providing light receiving elements the number of which corresponds to that nŸ by which the cell is divided, for use in reading the information; applying one beam of light to the cell; and receiving by the light receiving elements the refracted light from the divided cells, whereby the data are reproduced.
Abstract:
An atmosphere conditioning agent containing a deoxygenating and carbon dioxide generating agent such as ascorbic acid, aiming at improving the adaptability to filling in packaging material, shortening the time required for realizing an anaerobic atmosphere, and regulating the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in an anaerobic atmosphere being conditioned to be each in a desired range. The conditioning agent comprises a carbon dioxide generating agent, a ferrous compound, a pH modifier and water dispersed in a dispersant comprising silicon dioxide and/or calcium silicate, crystalline cellulose, and optionally active carbon. Preferably, according to the gas composition of a desired anaerobic atmosphere, ascorbic acid or calcium carbonate is used as the carbon dioxide generating agent, while calcium hydroxide and/or sodium carbonate is used as the pH modifier.
Abstract:
A method of recording a large quantity of data by one code mark. Four bit indicating fields (2a, 2b, 2c, 2d) for denoting a binary number of four bits are provided on the surface of a card (1). One numerical value is recorded by indicating predetermined bit parts of the four bit indicating fields (2a-2d) with the same color, and plural kinds of colors are mixedly given to the four bit indicating fields (2a-2d).
Abstract:
A process for producing a polymer containing cyclodextrin immobilized therein, which comprises reacting cyclodextrin with an acyl halide or acid anhydride of a carboxylic acid, a compound represented by any of the formulae (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), or other compound and reacting the obtained cyclodextrin derivative with an acyl halide monomer of an α,β-unsaturated acid or its derivative, or a monomer of anisocyanate-terminated α,β-unsaturated acid or its derivative. In the formulae, X represents Cl, Br or I. The obtained polymer contains one immobilized cyclodextrin derivative unit per monomer and has a high reactivity in the polymer reaction.
Abstract:
A composition for a reversible thermal recording medium, comprising a leuco compound and an amphotheric compound having at least one of phenolic hydroxyl and carboxyl groups and an amino group as a functional group or part of a salt compound.
Abstract:
A spout set in a liquid container, consisting of a pouring port element (2) fixed to the opening of the liquid container, an unsealing blade (4) inserted into a cylindrical portion of the element (2) and provided at its lower edge with a cutting member opposed to a film, and a cap (3) rotatably fitted on the cylindrical portion of the element (2). The cap (3) has a cylindrical member to be inserted into the unsealing blade (4). One of the opposed surface portions of the cylindrical member and the blade (4) has a guide surface extending from the upper edge to the lower edge thereof so as to incline upward in the direction of opening of the cap (3), and the other thereof is provided with a member slidably contacting the inclined guide surface, whereby the blade (4) can be lowered when the cap (3) is turned in the direction of its opening. Accordingly, when the cap is turned in the direction of its opening (upward), the cylindrical member is turned and the blade is pressed downward, so that the film is broken by the blade to open the pouring port. Consequently, the liquid becomes ready to be poured when the cap is removed.
Abstract:
A gas barrier film includes a first base material film made of a plastic material and a coating layer formed on one of surfaces of the first base material film, the coating layer contains a watersoluble polymer and a water-swelling mica, the solid content ratios of the water-swelling mica in 5 a total solid content of the coating layer are within approximate ranges indicated from 20 mass % to 50 mass %, the mean area diameter of the water-swelling mica is within approximate ranges indicated from 0.5 μm to 5 μm, and the thickness of the coating layer is within approximate ranges indicated from 0.1 μm to 1 μm.
