Provided is a method for producing a liposome, including a step of stirring a mixture containing an oil phase in which at least one lipid is dissolved in an organic solvent and a water phase in a first tank of an apparatus having the first tank and a circulation path, in which the ratio of the capacity of the circulation path to the total capacity of the tank and the circulation path is 0.4 or less and/or the time required for the mixture to return to the first tank after being discharged therefrom is within 2.0 minutes.

Method for producing liposome and apparatus for producing liposome

An object of the present invention is to provide a liposome composition and a pharmaceutical composition, which exhibit a high AUC. Provided are a liposome composition including a hydrophilic polymer-modified diacylphosphatidylethanolamine, a dihydrosphingomyelin, and cholesterols as components of a liposome membrane, in which the liposome composition encapsulates a drug, an inner water phase thereof contains ammonium sulfate, and a molar ratio of sulfate ions in the inner water phase to the drug in an entire water phase is 0.36 or more; and a pharmaceutical composition including the liposome composition.

Liposome composition and pharmaceutical composition

Disclosed herein are a method for producing a liposome which is capable of reducing the facility costs and also capable of rapid desolvation, and an apparatus for producing a liposome which is for use in the above-mentioned method. Provided is a method for producing a liposome, including a stirring step of stirring a mixed liquid containing an oil phase in which at least one lipid is dissolved in an organic solvent and a water phase, and an evaporating step of evaporating an organic solvent from the mixed liquid, in which the condensed organic solvent is removed by passing a gas having a temperature not higher than the dew point of the solvent in the evaporating step.

Method for producing liposome

A laser processing apparatus is provided. The laser processing apparatus includes a laser processing head having a transmission window, an opening portion, an outlet hole, a first vent hole and a second vent hole. The transmission window transmits laser light by which a processing object is irradiated. The opening portion passes the transmitted laser light to a bottom portion of the laser processing head. The outlet hole discharges an atmosphere in the vicinity of a laser light irradiation region of the processing object to the outside. The first vent hole directs gas into the vicinity of the laser light irradiation region. The second vent hole discharges the atmosphere in the vicinity of the laser light irradiation region. Debris generated from the processing object is discharged from the outlet hole and the second vent hole that are continuous with the opening portion provided at the bottom portion of the laser processing head.

Laser processing apparatus, laser processing head and laser processing method

A laser processing apparatus is provided. The laser processing apparatus removes and extracts debris generated by irradiating a transparent resin layer formed on a substrate with laser light during a patterning process, and includes a debris extraction module provided on the upper side of the substrate, wherein the debris extraction module sucks and extracts debris due to sublimation, thermal processing and composite action thereof generated from the transparent resin layer on the substrate irradiated with the laser light from the lower side thereof.

Laser processing apparatus and laser processing method as well as debris extraction mechanism and debris extraction method

A laser processing apparatus is provided for patterning with laser light a resin film or a metal film formed on a substrate. The apparatus includes a laser light source; and a debris collection device having a transmission window through which the laser light is transmitted, a vortex generation mechanism generating a vortex gas flow by allowing gas to flow into a region near a laser light-irradiated area of the resin film or the metal film, and a screening device having an opening through which the incident laser light passes and screening a flow of debris. The mechanism is placed close to the resin film or the metal film on the substrate. Debris generated by laser light irradiation and before and after being stacked on the object film is entrained in the vortex gas flow generated by the vortex generation mechanism and is exhausted to outside through the screening device.

When transmitting an on-road location on a digital map, an information provider transmits, as on-road location information, string of coordinates information representing the road shape of a road section including the on-road location having a predetermined length, additional information including at least one information item chosen from a group of the attribute information on the road including the road location and detailed information on the nodes in the road section, and relative information indicating the on-road location in the road section. Receiving party receiving this on-road location information performs shape matching to identify the road section on a digital map and uses relative data to identify the on-road location in this road section. The receiving party can identify the road shape with high accuracy even when only a small amount of string of coordinates data is available. This makes it possible to reduce the data transmission amount and identify an on-load location with high accuracy.

Method for locating road shapes using erroneous map data

A laser processing apparatus is provided. The laser processing apparatus is for performing pattern processing of a transparent conductive film that is formed on a multilayer film on a substrate by using laser light, includes debris extraction module having a vortex generation mechanism that generates a vortex flow by directing gas into the vicinity of a laser-irradiated portion of the transparent conductive film. The debris extraction module is disposed close to the substrate, and debris before deposition and after deposition on the substrate, which is generated by laser irradiation, is entrapped into the vortex flow to be extracted to the outside with the gas.

Disclosed is a laser processing device. The laser processing device includes a laser beam source irradiating a laser beam, and a laser processing head. The laser processing head includes a transmitting window through which the laser beam passes, an aperture formed in a bottom of the laser head and allowing the laser beam to pass through via the transmitting window, an introducing hole introducing a gas into the laser processing head, and an exhausting hole discharging a gas in the laser processing head to outside.

According to the present invention, an intra-macro match determining circuitinternally determines whether or not n test outputs from each macro all have the same level. The result of the determination is combined with some of the test outputs, and the resultant signal is output to a tester. Thus, the determination result for a match is combined with the test outputs instead of a particular value. Consequently, the same expected value can also be used for individual macro testing, and output bits are assigned to each of the macros. Therefore, in internally performing a comparison with the expected value, the tester can easily detect defective macros.

Semiconductor device in which a plurality of memory macros are mounted, and testing method thereof

The semiconductor integrated circuit includes: a plurality of macro cells; and a serial-parallel conversion circuit for converting a serial signal inputted from outside to generate parallel selection control signals during testing, or an A/D conversion circuit for converting an analog signal inputted from outside to generate digital selection control signals during testing. One or more among, the plurality of macro cells are selected based on the selection control signals and brought to a test operation state.
