An antibody provided by the present invention has a low reactivity with amyloid precursor proteins, and has a higher reactivity with amylospheroids than with amyloid &#x3b2; fibrils or monomeric amyloid &#x3b2;-proteins. According to the present invention, an antibody is provided that has a higher reactivity with amylospheroids than with amyloid precursor proteins, and has any one or more of the following properties: (i) a higher activity with amylospheroids than with amyloid &#x3b2; fibrils; (ii) a higher reactivity with amylospheroids than with monomeric amyloid &#x3b2;-proteins; and (iii) an activity of inhibiting neuronal cell death induced by amylospheroids.

Antibody and use thereof

An image processing apparatus includes a detecting unit that detects pieces of additional information embedded in image data, an analyzing unit that analyzes the detected pieces of additional information, and an embedding unit that (a) updates, when the analyzing unit analyzes that any of the detected pieces of additional information includes predetermined information, the predetermined information included in the piece of additional information, and embeds the updated predetermined information into image data at a location where the predetermined information is originally embedded, or (b) embeds, when the detected pieces of additional information do not include the predetermined information, a new piece of additional information including updated information, into the image data at a location that does not overlap locations where the detected pieces of additional information are embedded, the updated information being equivalent to the predetermined information.

Job data is created by a personal computerA display attribute and a program corresponding to the display attribute are attached to this job data. On the other hand, a received job is displayed on a screen of an operation panel of a digital copierWhether or not the display attribute is attached to job data is determined in display processing of this operation panel. Then, if the display attribute is attached, the display screen is changed corresponding to the display attribute. This display attribute contains enlargement of a display content, change of display color and the like. If a function corresponding to the display attribute is not supported, a program attached to job data is executed. Consequently, there is provided a job information display apparatus, a job execution apparatus, a job instruction apparatus and a job processing system capable of changing the display screen depending on the display attribute of the job.

Job information display apparatus, job execution apparatus, job instruction apparatus and job processing system

An electronic display device that allows the hierarchy or system to which the display screen belongs to be easily identified, without narrowing the display area of a plurality of screens constituting a director structure. In the display device, a plurality of key input screens form a director structure in association with each other. The directory structure includes first to fourth hierarchy levels. Respective key input screens are located at any of the hierarchy. Upon depression of a transition key in a basic screen belonging to the first hierarchy, the display screen is switched to one of key input screens belonging to the second hierarchy. The display device changes the display color according to the hierarchy to which the key input screen belongs in providing a display of a key input screen.

Display device capable of color display used in operation mode setting of image formation apparatus

An image forming apparatus provided with a function for binding a set of recording sheets by interposing said set of recording sheets between a folded cover sheet. When cover mode is set, the cover sheet is transported in a folding unit. The folding unit is controlled so as to fold said cover sheet into three sections of a front cover, spine and back cover. Content copy sheets are inserted in the folded cover sheet. The image forming apparatus is capable of cleanly binding documents even when the set of recording sheets is thick because the cover sheet can be folded in three.

Image forming apparatus capable of producing high-quality bound documents of any thickness

IgE antibody production inhibitors and autoimmune diseases inhibitors

An image forming system includes a digital copy machine to form an image on a group of sheets from an image of a group of documents, and a staple sorter sorting and discharging copied sheets from the digital copy machine. According to the staple sorter, control is provided so that a sheet of a long left period of time is transported from the bin to a nonsort tray when all of a plurality of bins provided in the staple sorter are used during a print operation. The left time of a sheet is monitored even when a print operation is not carried out. When the left time exceeds a predetermined time, control is provided so that the sheet left in the bin is transferred to the nonsort tray. As a result, a sheet discharge device is provided improved in operability of sheet discharge.

Image forming apparatus with highly operable sheet discharge device

The image forming apparatus is capable of storing a plurality of jobs in memory, and the stored plurality of jobs are printed and output in the storage sequence. A permitted time for exclusive use of the image forming apparatus to print a first job (print time upper limit) can be set and changed by a user using an operation panel. When the permitted time has elapsed after starting printing of the first job, the first job is interrupted and printing of another job is started. This arrangement prevents delaying the printing of other jobs due to the continuous printing of the first job over a long time period.

An image forming system includes a digital copy machine to form an image on a group of sheets from an image of a group of documents, and a staple sorter sorting and discharging copied sheets from the digital copy machine, According to the staple sorter, control is provided so that a sheet of a long left period of time is transported from the bin to a nonsort tray when all of a plurality of bins provided in the staple sorter are used during a print operation. The left time of a sheet is monitored even when a print operation is not carried out. When the left time exceeds a predetermined time, control is provided so that the sheet left in the bin is transferred to the nonsort tray. As a result, a sheet discharge device is provided improved in operability of sheet discharge.

In an operation for transporting a sheet by a first roller to a second roller pair downstream of the first roller, and further transporting the sheet by the second roller pair, a the time during which the sheet is transported by the first roller is controlled, responsive to the number of sheets which have been fed by the first roller, to suppress disadvantages such as jamming and deformation into a Z-form, which may be caused by reduction of a transporting performance due to wear of the rollers and adhesion of paper powder to the rollers.
