A method for obtaining an incision in an embossing roller using a hob to provide protuberances that are rounded on top and which improve the quality of the embossed material and reduce the wear of the mechanical components of the embossing units. The shape of the protuberances is obtained by machining the cylindrical surface of the roller placed between the tailstocks of the lathe using a hob that has teeth, the profile thereof being complementary to the cross-section of the protuberances. A portion of the hob with the teeth generates the grooves that define the side faces of the protuberances. The grooves between the teeth of the hob have a profile that is curvilinear in a cross-sectional view. With a double pass at two different inclinations of the surface of the roller, the protuberances of FIGS. 5 and 6 are generated.

A system and method for production of antibodies in plant cell culture, which results in highly functional antibodies, produced with a high level of expression efficiency. The present invention also encompasses host cells, vectors and methods for mass production of full size assembled immunoglobulins.

According to the present invention, there is provided a fluorine-containing sulfonate resin having a repeating unit of the following general formula (3).In order to prevent deficiency such as roughness after pattern formation or failure in pattern formation, the fluorine-containing sulfonate resin incorporates therein a photoacid generating function and serves as a resist resin in which “a moiety capable of changing its developer solubility by the action of an acid” and “a moiety having a photoacid generating function” are arranged with regularity.

A backlight device includes a housing, a light source, a diffuse plate and a fixing member. The housing has an open surface. The light source is arranged in the housing. The diffuser plate is arranged on the open surface of the housing and allows light emitted from the light source to pass therethrough while diffusing the light. The fixing member prevents the diffuser plate from bending in a direction in which light passes through the diffuser plate. A part of the fixing member has transmittance adjusted to substantially equalize luminance distribution of light passed through the diffuser plate.

A system identifies one or more devices having faults in a communication loop. The system includes an interface, a decision module, and a connection processor. The interface is configured for sending requests for information to each device of the communication loop and for receiving responses to the requests. The devices may include computer disk drives for use in a storage system. The requests may include Read-Link Status (RLS) commands sent to the computer disk drives. The RLS commands may provide diagnostics of the disk drives connected to the loop. The decision module is communicatively connected to the interface for weighting the responses of each device to identify the devices having the faults. The responses may be weighted based on the relative potential for disrupting operability of the system. The communication loop may include an FC loop that allows communications between a host system and the computer disk drives.

Device for cutting a corneal epithelial cover includes a fixing ring (1), a suction source (4), a cutting head (5) which is movably mounted on the ring (1) and an oscillating blade (10), elements (7, 8) for actuating the cutting head movements with respect to the ring and elements for controlling a suction, the blade oscillation and actuation adjustment according to: a starting phase of the corneal cover cutting, wherein the suction level is maximum, the advancing speed of the head is minimum and the oscillation frequency of the blade is maximum, a phase for cutting the larger part of the corneal cover, wherein the advancing speed is maintained or increased and the oscillation speed and the suction level are maintained or reduced and a third phase, wherein the head speed is inverted, oscillations are stopped and the suction level is maintained at the reduced level of the second phase.

When making moisture content adjustment by adding liquid such as water to a raw material such as pulverulent material including bentonite, uniform mixing of the liquid such as water with the raw material is given with relatively simple facilities, moisture content adjustment of a large quantity of raw materials is attainable, and besides, a material having satisfactory performances such as impermeability is obtainable through uniform moisture content adjustment. Within a mixing tank (1) configured with a normal powder mixer kept at low temperatures, pulverulent bentonite (A) and fine granular ice (B) are stirred and mixed. Stirring and mixing of the fellow pulverulent materials are adapted to uniformly mix the pulverulent bentonite (A) and the fine granular ice (B), enabling uniformly moisture content-adjusted bentonite to be obtained. A liquid-nitrogen gas bomb (21), for instance, is connected to the mixing tank (1), causing the inside of the mixing tank to be kept at low temperatures with nitrogen gas supplied from the bomb, before putting the prepared fine granular ice (B) through an inlet port (20).

A detector ring of radiation tomography apparatus according to this invention has a fracture portion having no scintillation counter crystal arranged therein. Moreover, the radiation tomography apparatus according to this invention includes a correlated data complementation section. The correlated data complementation section forms correlated data when assuming that a first scintillation counter crystal actually provided in the detector ring is in the fracture portion, and additionally stores it to a correlated data storing section, thereby complementing correlated data in the fracture portion. As noted above, the correlated data complementation section obtains positional information under assumption that the scintillation counter crystals are in the fracture portion and a corresponding number of coincident events. Consequently, this invention may realize acquisition of faithful detecting efficiencies in the scintillation counter crystals. Therefore, the radiation tomography apparatus may be provided that allows creation of radiological images suitable for diagnosis.

An image forming apparatus includes a toner-image forming section, an intermediary transfer section including an intermediary transfer belt, a fixing-fluid applying section, a transferring and fixing section, a recording-medium supply section, and an ejection section. The fixing-fluid applying section includes a coating roller, an eccentric cam for moving the coating roller approachably and separably with respect to the intermediary transfer belt, a contact and release detecting section for detecting whether the coating roller is contacted by or away from the intermediary transfer belt, a rotational driving section for rotatably driving the coating roller, and a control unit for controlling the eccentric cam and the rotational driving section.
