Patent JP-3971186-B2 (JP)
IPC: A47L9/16
Filed: 2000-10-13
Granted: 2007-09-05
Abstract: A vacuum cleaner comprises a cylconic separation unit with a dirty air inlet and a cleaned air outlet at a first end and a dirt collection portion at a second end. The separation unit is supported on the cleaner such that the inlet is located in a lower portion of the first end and such that, in normal use, the longitudinal axis of the chamber lies in, or can be brought to lie in, a substantially horizontal position. A shield member is provided at the inlet for shielding the inlet from the dirt collection portion of the chamber. This helps to prevent dirt from becoming re-entrained in the airflow and the inlet and dirt from falling from the inlet when a user removes the separation unit. The shield also helps to straighten incoming airflow through the inlet. The shield can be formed integrally with a shroud or other insert that fits inside the separation unit.

Abstract: In a case where a vehicle stops and a brake sensor is ON, a stop control of an engine (2) is started at a point in time, and when an engine rotational speed becomes equal to or less than a predetermined rotational speed threshold value at a point in time, an electric oil pump (8) is driven based upon an electric oil pump voltage. An input clutch oil pressure based upon an oil pressure supplied by the electric oil pump at this time is set as a standby pressure to be less than a line pressure supplied by the engine during idling and equal to or greater than an engagement start pressure by which the clutch starts transmitting a torque. When there is a start requirement at a point in time and driving of the motor is started, the engine as well as a mechanical oil pump (7) are also driven and an oil pressure supplied by the mechanical oil pump is added to the standby pressure, therefore, it is possible to transmit a driving force of the motor and the engine to a driven wheel without slipping the clutch.

Abstract: A novel family of protein libraries comprising CTLDs (C-type Lectin-Like Domains) in which internal polypeptide loop-regions lining the ligand binding sites in CTLDs have been replaced with ensembles of completely or partially randomised polypeptide segments. Tetranectin CTLDs were chosen as framework for the preferred embodiment of the invention; and versatile phagemid vectors useful in the generation and manipulation of human and murine tetranectin CTLD libraries are disclosed as part of this invention. Tetranectin CTLDs in monomeric as well as in trimeric form are efficiently displayed as gene III fusions in fully functional form by the recombinant fd phage display vector. CTLD derivatives with affinity for new ligands may readily be isolated from libraries of vectors displaying CTLDs, in which loop-regions have been randomised, using one or more rounds of enrichment by screening or selection followed by amplification of the enriched subpopulation in each round.  The efficiency with which protein products containing CTLDs with new binding properties can be produced, e.g. by bacterial expression and in vitro refolding, in mono-, tri-, or multimeric formats provides important advantages in terms of simplicity, cost and efficiency of generation, production and diagnostic or therapeutic applications in comparison to recombinant antibody derivatives.

Abstract: In an emotional notification system, information about another party is entered into and stored in a terminal of a first party along with one or more data objects associated with the second party (such as an email from, to or about the second party, a file originated by the second party, etc.). Each time the first party activates at his terminal through an interface module a data object associated with a second party, a notifying message is sent to the second party to make the second party aware that the first party is devoting attention to the second party and to promote bonding between the two parties. The notifying message may take one of various, preferably unobtrusive forms, such as a vibration of a terminal belonging to the second party, which minimizes any distraction caused by the notifying message.

Abstract: An inflammatory process is suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the presence of neuritic plaques within the cerebral cortex that are mainly composed of a small insoluble protein of 40-42 aminoacids (amyloid protein). Amyloid-specific Interleukin-10 (IL-10) generation is found to be selectively and significantly reduced in AD patients (p=0.023). The genotype associated with high IL-10 production is extremely infrequent in AD individuals (2% vs. 28%). The presence of low/intermediate-IL-10-producing genotypes (GCC/ATA; ATA/ATA) was associated with an earlier age at disease onset and (ACC/ACC; ACC/ATA) with an accelerated rate of disease progression/severity and with amyloid-specific impairment of IL-10 production. This relationship is independent of ApoE gene polymorphism. These results support the use of anti-inflammatory compounds in the therapy of this disease.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory has a field programmable unit in which logic to inter-convert external signals to be input/output to/from a memory system and internal signals to be input/output to/from a memory cell array is programmed. A program for constructing the logic of the field programmable unit is stored in a nonvolatile program memory unit. Through the field programmable unit, a controller can access the memory cell array, even when the interface of the controller accessing the semiconductor memory is different from an interface for accessing the memory cell array. Therefore, one kind of semiconductor memory can be used as plural kinds of semiconductor memories. This eliminates the need to develop plural kinds of semiconductor memories, reducing a development cost.
