The resin film used contains a photoisomerization reaction structural unit, and the photoisomerization reaction structural unit preferably has at least one double bond selected from N=N and C=C bonds and causes geometrical photoisomerization reaction by irradiation of light. As for the photoisomerization reaction structural unit having N=N bonds, for example, azobenzene and azopyridine can be used. As for the photoisomerization reaction structural unit having Cr=C bonds, for example, stilbene and stilbazole can be used. As for the resin containing the photoisomerization reaction structural unit, any of vinyl polymers, ring-opened polymers or the like can be used.

Abstract: The steam cooling circuit for a gas turbine includes a bore tube assembly (48) supplying steam to circumferentially spaced radial tubes (54) coupled to supply elbows (206) for transitioning the radial steam flow in an axial direction along steam supply tubes (56) adjacent the rim of the rotor. The supply tubes supply steam to circumferentially spaced manifold segments (120) located on the aft side of the 1-2 spacer for supplying steam to the buckets (22, 24) of the first and second stages. Spent return steam from these buckets flows to a plurality of circumferentially spaced return manifold segments disposed on the forward face of the 1-2 spacer. Crossover tubes (146) couple the steam supply from the steam supply manifold segments through the 1-2 spacer to the buckets (22) of the first stage. Crossover tubes (196) through the 1-2 spacer also return steam from the buckets of the second stage to the return manifold segments. Axially extending return tubes (58) convey spent cooling steam from the return manifold segments to radial tubes (80) via return elbows (216). <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: Fully lipid-encapsulated therapeutic agent particles of a charged therapeutic agent are prepared by combining a lipid composition containing preformed lipid vesicles, a charged therapeutic agent, and a destabilizing agent to form a mixture of preformed vesicles and therapeutic agent in a destabilizing solvent. The destabilizing solvent is effective to destabilize the membrane of the preformed lipid vesicles without disrupting the vesicles. The resulting mixture is incubated for a period of time sufficient to allow the encapsulation of the therapeutic agent within the preformed lipid vesicles. The destabilizing agent is then removed to yield fully lipid-encapsulated therapeutic agent particles. The preformed lipid vesicles comprise a charged lipid which has a charge which is opposite to the charge of the charged therapeutic agent and a modified lipid having a steric barrier moiety for control of aggregation.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are for measuring the radiation efficiency of antennas and the communication power of mobile and wireless terminals. The apparatus includes a chamber to enclose the antenna or terminal to be tested. The chamber includes walls of an inwardly reflective material, rendering the walls reflective to electromagnetic waves. The quality of the antenna or terminal is obtained by averaging the power transmitted between the antenna under test and a fixed antenna, or the power received at the fixed antenna when the terminal under test is used as a transmitter. The averaging is done over the measured power for several different positions of moving objects in the chamber and of a moving platform on which the antenna or terminal under test is located. The radiation efficiency or communication power is obtained by relating the measured average levels to those of a reference antenna or a reference terminal of known radiation efficiency or communication power.

Abstract: To permit reliable occurrence of initial combustion at the start of an engine during which a stroke is not determined by only a crank pulse and to increase an engine speed. <??>During a period from when cranking is started until a stroke is detected, fuel is injected once every rotation of a crankshaft before an intake stroke (or an expansion stroke) , and ignition is effected once every rotation of the crankshaft in the vicinity of the top dead center, thereby enabling initial combustion without involvement of reverse rotation of the engine. If a stroke is detected, fuel injection and ignition are effected once per cycle. When the engine speed fails to become equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, the ignition timing is set to a point before the compression dead center and in the vicinity of 10 DEG  toward advance, thereby immediately increasing the engine speed. Stroke detection is permitted when the engine speed has become equal to or higher than the predetermined speed, so that the engine speed becomes stable. <IMAGE>
