摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide an inhalation device by which nano-sized particles of a medicine are able to be stably present without aggregation even in air or the like where no dispersing solvent is present. A device for inhalation of medicine according to the present invention for solving such a problem is that where medicine particles in a nano- to micron-size are adhered to a matrix comprising a nano fiber to such an extent that the particles are detached by inspiration permeating through the matrix.

[Object] A medical material that improves therapeutic effects in epithelial cells such as keratoconjunctival epithelial cells with the use of an amnion, and a process for producing the same are provided. [Solving Means] A medical material includes an amnion, which is a placental tissue, a polymer film bonded to one surface of the amnion and crosslinked, and cells adhered to the other surface of the amnion. A process for producing the medical material includes the steps of preparing an amnion from which the spongy layer is removed, bonding a biocompatible polymer film to one surface of the amnion followed by crosslinking, adhering epithelial stem cells to the other surface of the amnion, and proliferating epithelial cells from the epithelial stem cells on the surface of the amnion.

A current sensor which constitutes an overload protection apparatus and senses a current supplied from a power source to a load is constituted by providing a magnetic sensor having the effect of magnetic impedance (MI), an AC supply means which impresses AC on this sensor, a bias current supply means which supplies a bias current to a bias coil, a peak sensing means which senses the peak or a change in impedance of the magnetic sensor as a change in voltage, and a switch which selects the output of the peak sensing means in accordance with each phase. A holding means which holds switch outputs one after another and an amplification means are provided in common to enable current sensing for each phase. Thus, a range of current sensing is enlarged to reduce power consumption and cost.

An over-current protection device is constituted of a current detection unit for detecting a current from a power-supply source to a load having a magnetism detection element with a magnetic impedance (MI) effect, an AC-current supply device for supplying an AC current to the detection element, a bias-current supply device for supplying a bias current to a bias coil, a peak detection device for detecting a peak of impedance of the magnetism detection element as a variation of voltage, and a switch corresponding to a phase for selecting an output of the peak detection device. In the current detection unit, a holding device for holding a switch output and an amplifier are disposed in common for detecting the current in each phase, thereby expanding a current detectable range and reducing power consumption and cost.

Disclosed is a material for sustained chemical-release in vivo, which comprises a hydroxyapatite/collagen (HAp/Col) nanocomposite formed as a coprecipitate, and a chemical consisting at least one of a drug and a bioactive substance including a growth factor and a DNA enzyme. The hydroxyapatite (HAp) has a specific surface area in the range of 50 to 300 m2/g. The hydroxyapatite (HAp) and the collagen (Col) are combined in such a manner that the crystals of the hydroxyapatite (HAp) are oriented in the C-axis direction around the fibers of the collagen (Col). The chemical is carried on the surface of the hydroxyapatite (HAp), the surface of the collagen (Col) and in a hydrated water of the hydroxyapatite (HAp) and the collagen (Col). The sustained chemical-release material can be prepared in the form of a bioabsorbable capsule, or in the form of allowing in vivo administration by injection and in-vivo gelation after said administration.
摘要:
A method for growing a single crystal of cubic boron nitride semiconductor in a growing container sealed under high pressure and high temperature conditions, which comprises dissolving in a dopant-containing boron nitride solvent a boron nitride starting material placed at a high temperature zone in the growing container, and providing a temperature gradient to the solvent so that the temperature dependence of the solubility is utilized to let the single crystal form and grow at a low temperature zone in the growing container.
摘要:
A microwave heating apparatus has a heating chamber in which an object is to be heated both dielectrically by microwave and by radiant energy. A microwave generator for generating microwaves is disposed above the heating chamber, and a radiant energy heater is located within the heating chamber. A rectangular wave guide extends between the generator and an opening in the chamber for guiding the microwaves generated by the generator into the heating chamber from above, the wave guide being bent generally in the shape of the letter Z and the portion of the wave guide other than the portion adjacent the opening into said heating chamber being spaced from the walls of the heating chamber. Thermal insulation is provided between the chamber and the portion of the wave guide spaced from the walls of the chamber.
摘要:
An improved choke seal arrangement, in a microwave oven, in which a slit structure is provided to prevent leakage of microwave energy around the periphery of the door. The slit structure, which has been provided in one of the walls defining the choke cavity in the prior art choke seal arrangement, is provided in a door wall portion spaced apart from the choke cavity so as to facilitate mechanical formation of the choke cavity and also to prevent deformation of the choke cavity wall during use. The choke seal arrangement permits the gap between the wall of the choke cavity and the confronting inner wall of the heating chamber to be smaller than hitherto, and the microwave seal performance further improved.
