[57] Abstract:
The present invention is made to securely position a needle tip and a blade face of a needle tube inserted into the skin in a predetermined site of a living body, such as the upper layer of skin. An injection needle assembly includes a needle tube (2) having a needle tip capable of puncturing a living body, a hub (3) holding the needle tube, a stabilizer (4), and a guide portion (7). The stabilizer (4) is formed in a tubular shape surrounding the circumference of the needle tube (2), and an end face (6b) is pressed against the skin, and thereby a raised portion of the skin is formed in a tube hole (6a). The guide portion (7) is arranged on the stabilizer (4), and is adapted to recognize a press-in distance of the stabilizer (4) to the skin.

[57] Abstract:
Improved integrally skinned asymmetric membranes for organic solvent nanofiltration, and their methods of preparation and use are disclosed. Membranes are formed from polybenzimidazoles by phase inversion and are then crosslinked by addition of crosslinking agents. These stabilise the membranes and allow solvent nanofiltration to be maintained even in the solvents from which the membranes were formed by phase inversion, and in strongly acidic and strongly basic solvents.

[51] International Class 8: C22B 15/14; C22C 9/00; C22C 9/08; C25C 1/00; C25C 1/12; H01L 21/60
[57] Abstract:
Copper or a copper alloy each characterized by having an a-ray emission of 0.001 cph/cm2 or less. As recent semiconductor devices have been made to have a higher density and a higher capacity, soft errors are more apt to occur therein because of the influence of a rays emitted from materials present in the vicinity of the semiconductor chips. In particular, the copper or copper alloys which are to be used in the vicinity of semiconductor devices, such as copper or copper-alloy wire leads, copper or copper-alloy bonding wires, and soldering materials, are strongly required to have a higher purity. There is also a need for a material reduced in a-ray emission. The present invention hence addresses the problems of elucidating the phenomenon in which copper or copper alloys emit a rays and of obtaining both copper or a copper alloy and a bonding wire formed from the copper or copper alloy as a raw material, the copper or copper alloy having been reduced in a-ray emission and being applicable to the desired material.

[57] Abstract:
The present invention discloses a process for the production of chondroitin sulphate with an average molecular weight (Mw) of 10-30 kDa by chemical sulphation starting from an unsulphated chondroitin backbone, obtained in turn by acid hydrolysis of capsular polysaccharide K4 made directly from E. coli strain O5:K4:H4, or directly produced from a genetically modified strain of E. coli. Sulphation of the N-acetyl-D-galactosamine residue at position 4 or 6 takes place simultaneously in the same polysaccharide chain, simulating the sulphation pattern observed in natural chondroitin sulphate, unlike the sulphation obtained with the synthesis methods described to date.

An idea used herein is to use the same function for the dependency of the context and the dependency of the symbolization parameter on previously coded/decoded transform coefficients. Using the same function - with varying function parameter - may even be used with respect to different transform block sizes and/or frequency portions of the transform blocks in case of the transform coefficients being spatially arranged in transform blocks. A further variant of this idea is to use the same function for the dependency of a symbolization parameter on previously coded/decoded transform coefficients for different sizes of the current transform coefficient's transform block, different information component types of the current transform coefficient's transform block and/or different frequency portions the current transform coefficient is located within the transform block.

The present invention provides antibodies that bind big-endothelin-1 ("big-ET-1"), and methods of using same. According to certain embodiments of the invention, the antibodies specifically bind human big-ET-1 but do not bind human small-ET-1 (i.e., the active form of endothelin-1 that results from proteolytic cleavage of big-ET-1 by endothelin-converting enzyme-1 [ECE-1]). According to certain embodiments of the invention, the anti-big-ET-1 antibodies are capable of blocking cleavage of big-ET-1 by ECE-1. The antibodies of the invention are useful for the treatment of big-ET-1-related disorders, including hypertension disorders, fibrotic disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, retinal disorders, pain and cancers.

[57] Abstract:
Unsaturated fatty alcohol alkoxylates, processes for making them, and methods of using them are disclosed. In one aspect, a monounsaturated fatty alcohol alkoxylate is made by reducing a metathesis-derived monounsaturated alkyl ester, followed by alkoxylation of the resulting monounsaturated alcohol. Microscopy reveals that the monounsaturated alkoxylates have isotropic and lamellar phases over a wider range of actives levels compared with their saturated analogs. This attribute expands formulating latitude for many end-use applications. The unsaturated fatty alcohol alkoxylates are valuable in, for example, agricultural solvents, nonionic emulsifiers for agricultural compositions, hard surface cleaners, laundry detergents, specialty foams, additives or surfactants for paints or coatings, and surfactant compositions for enhanced oil recovery.

A card shoe apparatus 2 of the table game system of the present invention includes a barcode reader 100 and RFID that reads a barcode 3 or RFID provided in a shuffled playing card set 1s, thereby reading a shuffled card ID that uniquely identifies the shuffled playing card set 1s. Also, The control unit 12 has further a function of identifying an exposition of the cut card by the card reading unit 8 and memorizing this information as that the shuffled playing card set 1s now being used is will be or have changed to the new one. The information of the exposition of the cut card is at least used for identifying an end of the current game using the shuffled playing cards set 1s currently set in the card shoe apparatus 2. A control unit 12 further includes a function of identifying specified events that occur during the use of set of the shuffled playing cards at a game table, and of reporting these occurrences of the specified event in connection with a shuffled card ID.

[57] Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a device and method for reducing quantization noise in a signal contained in a time-domain excitation decoded by a time-domain decoder. The decoded time-domain excitation is converted into a frequency-domain excitation. A weighting mask is produced for retrieving spectral information lost in the quantization noise. The frequency- domain excitation is modified to increase spectral dynamics by application of the weighting mask. The modified frequency-domain excitation is converted into a modified time-domain excitation. The method and device can be used for improving music content rendering of linear-prediction (LP) based codecs. Optionally, a synthesis of the decoded time-domain excitation may be classified into one of a first set of excitation categories and a second set of excitation categories, the second set including INACTIVE or UNVOICED categories, the first set including an OTHER category.

[57] Abstract:
Provided is a method for producing hematite from a leach residue containing fine iron oxide produced in an HPAL process, firstly the method allowing the use of Ca-based neutralizing agents and neutralizing agents, other than Ca-based neutralizing agents, which are derived from a base rock, in real operation of refining hematite to obtain hematite containing a low level of sulfur component to such an extent that the hematite can be used as a raw material for ironmaking, and secondly the method allowing the sintering of very fine powder ore which has not conventionally been used. The method for producing (high purity) hematite for ironmaking, by a process where a mineral acid and an oxidizing agent are added to an ore containing iron and a valuable metal and then the valuable metal is leached under high temperatures and high pressures, includes the steps of: (1) a high pressure leach step; (2) a preliminary neutralization step; (3) a first solid-liquid separation step; (4) a first neutralization step; (5) a second neutralization step; (6) a third solid-liquid separation step; (7) seed crystal addition treatment; (8) a second solid-liquid separation step; and (9) a baking step.
