20130081644 | CIGARETTE FILTER AND CIGARETTE - A cigarette filter includes filter plugs separated from each other and arranged through a cavity, a flavor capsule encapsulating a content liquid including a flavor in a shell and provided in the cavity between the filter plugs, and a liquid-impermeable tipping paper and/or filter wrapper wrapped around the filter plugs and the flavor capsule, wherein the content liquid comprises the flavor and a thickener and has a viscosity of 30 mPa·s or more. | 04-04-2013 |
20130091599 | Cosmid Vector for Transforming Plant and Use Thereof - The present invention provides novel cosmid vectors for plant transformation. The cosmid vectors have a full length of 15 kb or less and contain: 1) an origin of replication of an IncP plasmid, but not any origin of replication of other plasmid groups; 2) the trfA1 gene of an IncP plasmid; 3) an oriT of an IncP plasmid; 4) the incC1 gene of an IncP plasmid; 5) a cos site of lambda phage, which is located outside the T-DNA; 6) a drug resistance gene expressed in | 04-11-2013 |
20130113917 | CIGARETTE INSPECTION APPARATUS - An image of the filter end faces of a bundle of cigarettes arranged side by side with axes thereof paralleled is acquired as an inspection image, and the diameters of the individual cigarettes of the bundle in the inspection image are obtained and compared with normal diameters associated with the respective cigarettes in the inspection image, to determine axial displacement of cigarettes from the bundle (first determination section). Also, the centers of gravity of the end faces of the individual cigarettes are obtained, and based on the difference between an inter-center-of-gravity distance which is the distance between an outermost cigarette in the bundle and its adjacent cigarette, and an inter-center-of-gravity distance which is the distance between adjacent cigarettes located in the central part of the bundle and belonging to the same tier as the outermost cigarette, axial displacement of the outermost cigarettes is determined (second determination section). | 05-09-2013 |
20130116240 | INDOLE COMPOUNDS AND PHARMACEUTICAL USE THEREOF - Provided is an agent for the treatment or prophylaxis of inflammatory diseases, allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection or the like. | 05-09-2013 |

20130133673 | TOBACCO PRODUCT - A tobacco product produced by wrapping cut tobacco with a pouch or a cigarette paper, wherein the pouch or the cigarette paper has an inner layer and an outer layer, and a paper of the outer layer has an air permeability higher than that of a paper of the inner layer. | 05-30-2013 |
20130133675 | SMOKELESS FLAVOR INHALATOR - A smokeless flavor inhalator includes a tobacco material as a flavor generator, and a heater for heating the tobacco material to allow flavor components to be released from the tobacco material while preventing smoke from being generated from the tobacco material. The heater has a carbon heat source and a cooling element. The carbon heat source and the cooling element cooperatively keep the heating temperature of the tobacco material at a temperature of 50 to 200° C. | 05-30-2013 |
20130137088 | FACTOR INVOLVED IN LATENT INFECTION WITH HERPESVIRUS, AND USE THEREOF - Disclosed are a protein and a gene each of which is a factor involved in latent infection with a herpesvirus. An antibody against the factor was detected in approximately 50% of patients suffering from mental disorders, whereas the antibody was hardly detected in healthy persons. Further, a mouse having SITH-1 introduced therein developed a mental disorder such as a manic-depressive illness or depression-like disorder. Based on these findings, it is possible to provide a method for objectively determining a mental disorder and an animal model of a mental disorder. | 05-30-2013 |
20130160779 | TOBACCO-FLAVOR-RELEASING MATERIAL AND NON-HEATING TYPE TOBACCO FLAVOR INHALATOR CONTAINING SAME - A tobacco-flavor-releasing material includes granules which contain (a) a ground tobacco material, (b) water, (c) a moisturizing agent includes a polyhydric alcohol, (d) at least one pH-adjusting agent selected from the group consisting of potassium carbonate and sodium hydrogencarbonate, and (e) at least one binder selected from the group consisting of pullulan and hydroxypropyl cellulose. | 06-27-2013 |
20130160780 | NON-HEATING TYPE FLAVOR INHALATOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING FLAVOR CARTRIDGE - A non-heating type flavor inhalator of the invention includes a hollow cylindrical holder ( | 06-27-2013 |
20130199550 | CIGARETTE AND PRODUCTION METHOD THEREOF - A cigarette comprising a tobacco rod comprising a tobacco filler and a cigarette paper which is wrapped around the tobacco filler, a filter comprising a filter member and a filter wrapping paper which is integrally wrapped around the filter member, and a tipping member which is bonded onto the tobacco rod and the filter with a pressure-sensitive adhesive to connect the tobacco rod and the filter. | 08-08-2013 |
