A synthetic vitreous material contains a self-assembling peptide and a salt, and has an osmotic pressure of 40 mOsm/kg to 200 mOsm/kg. Such a synthetic vitreous material is not toxic to ocular tissue, is capable of maintaining an intraocular tamponade effect over a long term, and is easy to handle and inject into an eye of a patient.

A fixing device capable of suitable fixing even after moving to a print mode by reducing overshoot at moving to a print mode, and an image forming device using this. A mode switching unit informs a set or switched print mode to a calorie control unit and a rotation speed control unit. The calorie control unit controls supply power to a fixing roller, a heating roller and a fixing belt, that is a heating output from a heating means consisting of the fixing roller, the heating roller and the fixing belt according to a print mode informed from the mode switching unit. Therefore, the image fixing temperature of a non-fixed image at the heating means can be maintained at a specified temperature corresponding to a print mode.

A fixing device enabling the temperature of a heating element to be uniformly and stably maintained even if the heating element is eccentrically moved or vibrated. An opposed core (233) is so formed that a small diameter opposed core (2332) is fixedly inserted onto the center part of a core shaft (2331) and large diameter opposed cores (2333) are fixedly inserted onto both end parts of the core shaft (2331) so that the cross sectional area thereof at both ends in the lateral direction (both ends in the longitudinal direction) is larger than the cross sectional area thereof at the center part in the lateral direction. A fixing belt (210) is formed of a non-magnetic material and disposed between a core (232) and the opposed core (233). Thus, since a magnetic flux between the core (232) and the opposed core (233) is not almost varied and the fixing belt (210) allows the magnetic flux to pass therethrough and does not affect the flux, even if the fixing belt (210) is rotated and a distance between the core (232) and the fixing belt (210) is varied, the temperature of the fixing belt (210) can be uniformly and stably maintained.
摘要:
This invention provides nanocrystals or polymer doped nanocrystals of hydrophobic drug molecules as stably dispersed in an aqueous system which are prepared without stabilizers like surfactants and the like. In one embodiment, the drug is a tetra-pyrrole compound. An example is the hydrophobic photosensitizing anticancer drug 2-devinyl-2-(1-hexyloxyethyl)pyropheophorbide (HPPH). Pharmaceutical compositions comprising nanocrystals or polymer doped nanocrystals of hydrophobic drugs can be used for therapeutic purposes. For example pyropheophorbides such as HPPH can be used for photodynamic therapy. Drug efficacy of these nanocrystals were found to be comparable with that of same drug formulated in conventional delivery vehicles under in vitro and in vivo conditions.

An ink jet head includes: actuators each including a scanning electrode, a piezoelectric element and a recording electrode and arranged in a matrix pattern of n rows by m columns (where n and m are natural numbers equal to or greater than two) in terms of electrical circuit; and a driving circuit for supplying a scanning signal to the scanning electrodes for each column, while supplying a recording signal to each row of the recording electrodes in synchronization with the scanning signal. The actuators are geometrically arranged in n rows by m columns. A relay terminal, extending in a vertical direction, is provided in at least one inter-column space between vertical columns of the actuators for relaying signals from the driving circuit to the recording electrodes and the scanning electrodes. The recording electrodes and the scanning electrodes are connected to the relay terminal via lead wires extending in a horizontal direction.

A capacitor element has on its outer surface a cathode layer with a flat bottom surface, and also a tantalum lead extending outward from its one end. One of opposing major surfaces of a flat cathode terminal is located beneath and in parallel with the bottom surface of the cathode layer. They are electrically connected with each other. One of opposing major surfaces of a flat anode terminal is located substantially in the same plane as the one major surface of the cathode terminal and is electrically connected to the tantalum lead of the capacitor element. The capacitor element, the anode terminal and the cathode terminal are encapsulated with portions of the other major surfaces of the cathode and anode terminals left exposed.
