摘要:
A mentation test method that can test mentation of a human such as conjecture of brain's mentation age, discrimination of early stage of dementia and prediction of onset of dementia in addition to diagnosis of prediction probability of onset of dementia and screening of mental functions of senile dementia patients, decision of the effect of rehabilitation of the aftereffects of cerebrovascular disfunction, investigation of the therapeutic effects of medicines and side effects such as sleepiness, testing of degree of intoxication, testing of peripheral attention visual field, testing of cerebral dominant hemisphere, testing of various psychoneurosis such as schizophrenia and cerebrovascular disorder (syndrome and diagnosis, and decision of the effects of rehabilitation and treatment), and check of the degree of fatigue.
摘要:
For carrying out lubrication between a piston (17) and a piston ring (21) installed in an annular groove (23) of the piston, the piston ring comprises a recessed portion (15a, 15b) which is partially recessed from an upper axial end (27) of the piston ring. Lubricating oil is mixed with blow-by gas and flows into the annular groove through the recessed portion. As a result, the lubricating oil is effectively supplied to the annular groove. Therefore, the lubrication is favorably carried out between the piston ring and the piston. The piston ring may be formed from a piston ring member (10) of a ring-shaped plate which has the recessed portion on an outer peripheral surface (13) thereof.
摘要:
A method for analyzing antigen or antibody contained in a sample by introducing a first end surface of at least one measuring light guide member and a second end surface of at least one reference light guide member in the sample. Each of said measuring and reference light guide members being coated with a protection layer except for said first and second end surfaces and an other end surface of respect light guides. Only on said first end surface of the measuring light guide member being fixed an antigen or antibody which is specifically reactive with the antigen or antibody contained in the sample to effect an antigen-antibody reaction. Photoelectrically detecting optical properties of said first and second end surfaces of the measuring and reference light guide members, respectively, by transmitting light through the meauring and reference light guide members to derive detection signals as a measure of antigen or antibody in the sample. Further, when first and second measuring light guide members having A-type antibody and B-type antibody fixed onto one end surfaces thereof are used, a blood type of a blood sample can be determined by detecting the optical condition of the one end surfaces of the first and second measuring light guide members.
摘要:
An improved traveling magnetic field-type apparatus for crushing, mixing, polishing, deburring and the like is provided, comprising a container containing working substances and a quantity of material to be crushed operatively arranged between first and second traveling magnetic field generators. The generators are selectively shiftable between a first orientation and a second orientation, in which like polarity and dissimilar polarities face each other across the container. The field generators may be circular and concentrically arranged, or in the shape of a circular arc. Diaphragms also may be provided in the container to distribute more uniformly the working substances and the material to be crushed. It has been determined that the working substances are more readily magnetized, resulting in a higher magnetic torque, if they are relatively longer in the axial direction than in the cross sectional direction. Weighted portions may also be provided at each axial end of the pieces of the working substance to further concentrate the mass at each axial end, and thereby further increase the torque.
摘要:
A novel optically active cis-4,5-disubstituted imidazolidin-2-one derivative of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group or benzyl and R.sup.2 is a chiral aralkyl group optionally having at least one of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy and hydroxyl groups is produced asymmetrically by the reaction of 1,3-dibenzyl-cis-4,5-dicarboxy-imidazolidin-2-one or its anhydride with an optically active secondary amine of the formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each as defined above and is transformed into the lactone of 1,3-dibenzyl-cis-4-carboxy-5-hydroxymethyl-imidazolidin-2-one, which is a key intermediate in the synthesis of d-biotin.
