The invention provides a vaccine for immunizing poultry and other animals against infection by a gram-negative bacteria, and a method of immunizing an animal using the vaccine. The vaccine may contain purified siderophore receptor proteins derived from a single strain or species of gram-negative bacteria or other organism, which are cross-reactive with siderophores produced by two or more strains, species or genera of gram-negative bacteria. The invention further provides a process for isolating and purifying the siderophore receptor proteins, and for preparing a vaccine containing the proteins. Also provided is a method for diagnosing gram-negative sepsis.

In a memory cell array in a hierarchical bit line mode in which sub-arrays in a virtual ground line mode are arranged in a column direction, data is read out at high speed, preventing fluctuation in wiring capacity of a main bit line. In each sub-array, one of a source electrode or a drain electrode in each of the memory cells in the same column is connected to a common first bit line, and the other thereof is connected to a second bit line. The first bit lines of one half of the sub-arrays positioned in the same column are connected to the first main bit line through selection transistors and the second bit lines thereof are connected to the second main bit line through selection transistors, and the first bit lines of the other half of the sub-arrays positioned in the same column are connected to the second main bit line through selection transistors and the second bit lines thereof are connected to the first main bit line through selection transistors.

In a conventional electrochemical cell, since a welding between a container and a sealing plate is performed in the atmospheric air, a weld zone is oxidized and a corrosion resistance decreases. For this reason, impurities are eluted from the weld zone into an electrolyte, and this causes an internal resistance increase and a capacity decrease of the electrochemical cell. Further, there is a possibility that an organic solvent in the electrolyte is oxidized by the welding. According to the invention, in order to solve the above problems, the seal welding between the container and the sealing plate of the electrochemical cell is performed under an inert atmosphere.

The invention encompasses compositions and methods for treating or preventing disorders in companion animals, wherein the compositions and methods include feeding the companion animal a composition including lipoic acid or a salt thereof.

A secondary battery includes a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, a separator interposed therebetween, and at least one insulation member. The first electrode plate has a first electrode collector having at least one surface on which a first electrode active material is coated to form a coating portion, a first electrode uncoated portion formed on at least one end of the first electrode collector, and a first protrusion formed on at least one end of the electrode coating portion. The second electrode plate includes a similar second electrode collector, a second electrode coating portion, a second electrode uncoated portion, and a second protrusion. The separator insulates the first electrode plate from the second electrode plate. The at least one insulation member is formed on and covers the first protrusion, the second protrusion, or both such that an electrolyte is flowable through the at least one insulation member.

The invention relates to a data transfer method in a radio system utilizing a multiple antenna method, the data transfer method comprising generating, at a receiver, at least part of a change in a variable which contains transmit filter information on a transmitter as compared with a previous value of the variable, transmitting at least part of the change in the variable containing transmit filter information on the transmitter from the receiver to the transmitter and updating, at the transmitter, the transmit filter information on the transmitter on the basis of the received change in the variable containing transmit filter information. The invention further relates to a radio system implementing the method. In the solution, the amount of data used for updating transmit filter information and to be transmitted to a transmitter can be optimised, which enables unnecessary loading of radio capacity to be avoided.

The invention encompasses compositions for inhibiting histamine release pathways in a companion animal, for example, felines and in treating or preventing idiopathic cystitis or interstitial cystitis. The compositions of the invention include an amount of lipoic acid that is effective in inhibiting histamine release pathways in a companion animal, for example, felines and in treating or preventing idiopathic cystitis or interstitial cystitis.

A recording apparatus includes a recording medium 4 formed with a plurality of unit memory areas thereon. When no alarm signal is generated, a recording circuit 3 writes image signals into the unit memory areas in a cyclical manner. When the alarm signal is generated, the recording circuit 3 overwrites the image signals into the unit memory areas, which are intermittently present. Although a frame rate of the image signals at a time of writing is always 10 fps irrespective of the alarm signal, one portion of the image signals written before generating the alarm signal is deleted by the overwriting, which is after generating the alarm signal. The frame rate of the image signal that is remained as a result of not being overwritten decreases to 2 fps.

The invention provides a ship steering device in which cavitation in a main hydraulic pump due to a negative pressure region in a hydraulic circuit is prevented to avoid generation of noise caused by the cavitation. The ship steering device (10A) causes a rudder shaft (11) and a rudder plate to pivot. The rudder shaft (11) is pivotably supported by the ship, and the rudder plate is fixed to the rudder shaft (11) and pivots together with the rudder shaft (11). A drive mechanism for causing the rudder shaft (11) to pivot has hydraulic actuators (21A, 21B, 21C, 21D) connected to a hydraulic system (20A). The hydraulic system (20A) has the main hydraulic pump (23) in which the direction of suction and discharge of oil and the flow rate of oil discharged can be changed, a boost pump (26) for maintaining the pressure in the hydraulic system (20A) at a predetermined level, and an accumulator (30) as hydraulic pressure storage means for preventing cavitation in the main hydraulic pump (23) caused by formation of a negative pressure region in the hydraulic system (20A).

An image forming apparatus at first stores only a process request of a secure print job and authentication information relating to the secure print job which take up only a tiny part of a storage area of a job. Upon receiving operation information indicating the authentication information stored in the job memory, the image forming apparatus receives a print data relating to the secure print job associated with the authentication information from a user terminal and prints it.
