The effect of the treatment by using anthracycline anticancer drugs is judged by comparing the judgment score with a predetermined threshold level.	10-01-2009

20090283372	DISC BRAKE DEVICE - A disc brake apparatus that can keep a stable contact state between a torque transmitting part of a brake pad and a torque receiving part of a mounting, so as to reliably suppress a brake noise phenomenon. At the time of forward braking where a main body member of a brake pad is pressed against a disc rotor, the rotational moment acting on the main body member of the brake pad from the disc rotor is absorbed by the main body member rotating relative to a forward braking torque transmitting member about one pin joint, so as to be restrained from being transmitted to the forward braking torque transmitting member. As a result, the respective contact states between two torque transmitting protrusions formed in the forward braking torque transmitting member of the brake pad and torque receiving surfaces formed in a forward braking torque receiving part of a mounting are held stable.	11-19-2009

20090285612	IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND PRINTING MEDIUM - An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device, an adhesion processing device, an adhesion device, and a fixing device. The image forming device forms an image on a light-transmitting medium with image formation toner. The adhesion processing device sets whether or not to make the light-transmitting medium contact a light-reflecting medium for each of multiple areas of the image. The adhesion device adheres adhesive toner to an area of the light-transmitting medium. The fixing device aligns the light-reflecting medium with the light-transmitting medium such that the light-reflecting medium contacts a surface of the light-transmitting medium to which the adhesive toner adheres and fixes the light-reflecting medium to the light-transmitting medium.	11-19-2009
