Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a mutant gluconate dehydrogenase whose enzyme activity and/or heat resistance is a predetermined level or higher. The mutant gluconate dehydrogenase is made by an amino acid sequence obtained by deleting, substituting, adding or inserting one or plural amino acids in an amino acid sequence represented by sequence number 1. The mutant gluconate dehydrogenase displays enzyme activity which is equal to or higher than 120% of a wild-type gluconate dehydrogenase made by an amino acid sequence represented by sequence number 1, and/or displays residual enzyme activity after heat treatment under predetermined conditions, which is equal to or higher than 20% of the enzyme activity before the heat treatment.
Abstract:
Provided is an SnCu lead-free solder alloy which eliminates a drawback that an intermetallic compound excessively precipitates and the precipitate serves as nuclei to form dross to thereby cause soldering defects including a needle-like protrusion to occur, thus to satisfy all of the properties required for practical use.A lead-free solder alloy contains 0.1 to 1.5% by weight of Cu, not less than 0.01 and less than 0.05% by weight of Co, 0.05 to 0.5% by weight of Ag and 0.01 to 0.1% by weight of Sb, the remainder being Sn, or further contains 0.001 to 0.008% by weight of Ge, whereby the formation of dross is prevented, and thus the drawback that soldering defects including a needle-like protrusion occur is eliminated.
Abstract:
A passenger-seat airbag (32) includes a left airbag (44), a right airbag (46), and a root portion (48). A strap (70) is provided in the root portion (48) that is inflated by gas injected from an inflator (28) when a passenger-seat airbag device (10) operates. The strap (70) connects the base-end portion (48B) of the root portion (48) to a connection root portion (48C). Further, the strap (70) is provided such that a peripheral length (L2) on a front side is longer than or equal to a peripheral length (L1) on a rear side in a lateral view showing the inflated root portion (48).
Abstract:
A computer implemented method searches for keywords within a document and displays a surrounding context. A keyword search term and a view area size for the document are received. A plurality of occurrences of the search term is identified within the document. A view area size surrounding each occurrences of the search term is identified to form a plurality of view area sizes. An edited view of the document is displayed. The edited view includes a sequence of the plurality of view area sizes, wherein each of the plurality of view area sizes are separated by one of a plurality of interactive virtual boundary lines, and each of the a plurality of interactive virtual boundary lines have an indicator to form a plurality of indicators.
Abstract:
A passenger-seat airbag includes a left airbag and a right airbag. A root portion connects a left-airbag root portion and a right-airbag root portion. An accordion-folded portion with relatively small folding widths is formed by accordion-folding both side portions of the root portion, whereby at least a gas-injection hole closest to each of both ends of an inflator in a longitudinal direction among a plurality of the gas-injection holes of the inflator is prevented from being closed by the root portion when the passenger-seat airbag is provided in a vehicle.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for making a microporous ceramic material using a metal silicon powder and including a reaction sintering process of the silicon. A material for forming a microporous ceramic material used in these methods includes a metal silicon powder, a silicon nitride powder and/or a silicon carbide powder, and if desired, a yttrium oxide powder and/or an aluminum oxide powder. These methods can make a microporous ceramic material that can be used preferably as a gas or liquid filter, a catalyst carrier or a support of a gas separation membrane.
Abstract:
According to the module 10, the other end 22 of each of the plurality of porous cylindrical bodies 12 the one end 20 of each of which is closed is opened to the gas chamber 58 between the end cap 18 and the end cover 54, and the end cap 18 is provided with the through-hole 53 leading from the gas chamber 56 outward, and the gas chamber 58 leads outward by means of a path passing through the through-hole 53 and through the porous cylindrical body 12. The module 10 can have a gas-passing path from the peripheral wall 24 of the porous cylindrical-body 12 outward through the gas chamber 58 and through the through-hole 53. Since the airtight sealing structure of the whole of the reaction container 60 can be formed independently of the airtight connecting structure of the through-hole 53 and the gas lead-out opening 64, the permeability and the like of the module 10 that has various dimensions can be measured by means of a common reaction container 60 formed to have a predetermined size and structure by forming the through-hole 53 in a predetermined form corresponding to the connecting structure with the gas lead-out opening 64, regardless of the size of the whole of the module 10.
Abstract:
Trenches are formed by using stripe-form patterns with the same width and the same interval as a mask in the surface area of a silicon substrate and element isolation regions of STI structure are formed by filling insulating films into the trenches. Further, slits for isolating floating gates are formed by etching a polysilicon layer by using stripe-form patterns with the same width and the same interval as a mask. In addition, control gates (word lines) are formed by subjecting the polysilicon layer to the anisotropic etching process by using stripe-form patterns with the same width and the same interval as a mask.
