Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel sialo-sugar chain, a process for producing the sialo-sugar chain, and a device for producing the sialo-sugar chain. A sialo-sugar chain can be easily and efficiently mass-produced by reacting a sugar wherein a hydroxy groups is substituted with an alkynyl group (herein sometimes referred to as “alkynylated sugar”) with a specific sialic acid donor in the presence of a sialic acid-introducing enzyme.
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a novel NAD+-independent myo-inositol 2-dehydrogenase which converts myo-inositol into scyllo-inosose in the absence of NAD+; a novel enzyme scyllo-inositol dehydrogenase which stereospecifically reduces scyllo-inosose into scyllo-inositol in the presence of NADH or NADPH; and a novel microorganism which belongs to the genus Acetobacter or Burkholderia and can convert myo-inositol into scyllo-inositol. By using these enzymes or the microorganism, scyllo-inositol is produced. Furthermore, scyllo-inositol is purified by adding boric acid and a metal salt to a liquid mixture containing scyllo-inositol and a neutral saccharide other than scyllo-inositol to fonts a scyllo-inositol/boric acid complex, separating the complex from the liquid mixture, dissolving the thus separated complex in an acid to give an acidic solution or an acidic suspension and then purifying scyllo-inositol from the acidic solution or the acidic suspension.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a driving circuit of a flat display device and a flat display device, and it is applicable, for example, to a display device using organic EL (Electro Luminescence) elements. The present invention makes it possible to correct light emission characteristics variously, effectively avoid significant degradation in image quality due to noise, and further simplify an adjustment operation by generating original reference voltages by selecting a plurality of candidate voltages formed by voltage divider circuits according to original reference voltage setting data, generating reference voltages for digital-to-analog conversion from the original reference voltages, generating the reference voltages at both ends by dividing a reference voltage generating voltage by the voltage divider circuit, and generating the other original reference voltages with voltage divider circuits connected in series with each other and the reference voltages at both ends used as a reference.

A printed circuit board includes a ground layer, a power supply layer divided into a plurality of lands, a dielectric layer disposed so as to cover the plurality of lands of the power supply layer, and a conductor layer disposed so as to cover the dielectric layer. The plurality of divided lands are coupled to each other by electrostatic capacitors formed by each of the lands of the power supply layer and the conductor layer sandwiching the dielectric layer therebetween.
Abstract:
An ammoxidation method in a fluidized-bed reactor, in which, when a starting material to be ammoxidized is ammoxidized by means of vapor-phase catalytic fluidized-bed reaction, the reaction is carried out in a fluidized-bed reactor to which an oxygen-containing gas is fed through feed openings provided at the bottom thereof, and a starting material to be ammoxidized is fed through feed openings provided above the feed openings for the oxygen-containing gas, the distance between the feed openings for the oxygen-containing gas and those for the starting material being from 30 to 250% of the height of a fluidized solid matter in a static state so as to form such a fluidized bed that the density of the fluidized solid matter at the feed openings for the starting material to be ammoxidized is in the range of 50 to 300 kg/m.sup.3 and that the gas velocity is 1 m/s or lower. By this method, the efficiency of contact between catalyst particles and a starting material, and the result of the reaction (the yield of a desired product) are improved.
Abstract:
A timing pulse generator for generating timing pulses exhibiting vertical and horizontal scanning frequencies of the type found in video signals, particularly adapted for use with a CCD imaging device. A first counter counts reference pulses having the horizontal scanning frequency to produce address counts that are used to read out timing pulse data stored in a first ROM, the read out data constituting a portion of the timing pulses. A second counter counts reference pulses of a frequency substantially higher than the horizontal scanning frequency to produce second address counts which are used to read out pulse data stored in a second ROM, the read out data constituting another portion of the timing pulses. Two separate ROMs are used to produce timing pulses of the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for driving and reading image data from the CCD device.
Abstract:
Iron-antimony metallic oxide catalysts which have become deactivated after being used for the production of aldehydes, acids, nitriles, or dienes through oxidation, ammoxidation, or oxidative dehydrogenation of organic compounds in fluidized-bed reactors are regenerated by adding to the catalyst a solid molybdenum component which is volatile or capable of forming a volatile compound under reaction conditions. The metallic oxide catalysts contain as essential components (I) Fe, (II) Sb, (III) at least one element selected from the group consisting of V, MO, and W, and (IV) Te.
