摘要:
Methods are described for treating a target tissue with a radioisotope. Some methods include determining a distance between a target tissue and a surface of a matrix material to be positioned adjacent the target tissue and, based on the determined distance, determining an activity to be mixed with the matrix material to obtain a desired activity concentration. Some methods further include mixing the radioisotope with the matrix material. In some embodiments, the matrix material is a bone cement, and the target tissue is a tumor in a bone. The radioisotope may be a beta-emitting radioisotope mixed in the cement at a concentration to form a radioactive cement.

A cover screw for a dental implant seals a threaded hole of an implant fixture formed in a mandible or maxilla. The cover screw is formed of a main body and a membrane fixing screw, and is attached to the implant fixture until the implant fixture is thoroughly connected to the mandible or maxilla in an implantation hole. The main body includes a first male screw to be screwed into the threaded hole of the implant fixture, an outer face formed on a side opposite to the male screw and facing an oral cavity, and a threaded hole formed on a side of the outer face. The threaded hole has a diameter smaller than that of the male screw and extends parallel to the male screw. The membrane fixing screw has a head, and a second male screw to be screwed in the threaded hole. A barrier membrane is properly held between the main body and the head.

A method for developing an electrostatic latent image comprising, a step of supplying a developer containing a carrier and a toner, said toner consisting of fine toner particles of which not less than 95% by weight have a particle size of from 1/1.7 to 1.7 times as large as the weight average size of the toner particles (D.sub.50), to the outer circumfence of a cylinder-shaped sleeve member of a developer transporting means, a step of forming a thin layer of said developer on the surface of said sleeve member by the use of a layer thickness regulating member so that the maximum thickness of the developer layer is smaller than the minimum distance between the surface of said sleeve member and the surface of said electrostatic latent image carrying member, a step of carrying said developer to close proximity of the electrostatic latent image formed on said electrostatic larent image carrying member, and a step of forming a toner image on said electrostatic latent image carrying member is disclosed.
摘要:
Engine throttle valve control device having a step motor to operate a throttle valve which comprises detecting means for detecting the need for changing the rotational direction of the step motor, and delaying means which delays the supply of the drive signal to the step motor for a predetermined period when the need for changing the rotational direction of the step motor is detected by the detecting means. In the present invention, when it is necessary to change the rotational direction of the step motor, the step motor is not immediately driven to reverse the rotational direction but is halted for a predetermined short time. After the short time passes the step motor is driven to rotate in the opposite direction. According to the present invention, the inertial force acting on the step motor when it changes its rotational direction can be avoided or decreased. Hence, loss of control of the step motor due to the inertial force is avoided, and accurate control of the throttle valve opening is performed.
