Publication number: 20230372130Abstract: An object is to provide a stent having, in a well-balanced manner, a high expansion force that enables the stent to come into close contact with an inner wall of a tubular organ, such as a digestive tract, to sufficiently expand a constricted part and good flexibility by which none of an ulcer and a perforation is generated at sites with which both end parts of the stent come into contact even when the stent is placed in a bent tubular organ. A stent of the disclosure is a stent formed in a tubular shape by braiding one or more wire rods. A radial force (RF) ranges from 0.02 N/mm to 0.04 N/mm, and a ratio (RF/AF) of the radial force (RF) to an axial force (AF) is 0.14 mm?1 or more. The stent of the disclosure preferably has a shortening of 35% or less.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Eiichi NAKANO, Masamune SAKAI, Fumiaki KOBAYASHI

Each base phone includes a dual-line adaptation function unit for establishing communication through the plurality of telephone lines and a single-line adaptation function unit for establishing communication through a telephone line connected to the base phone itself. Any one of the dual-line adaptation function unit and the single-line adaptation function unit is selectively enabled in response to an external operation. Therefore, the single base phone attains a function as a single-line-adapted model establishing communication through the telephone line connected to the base phone itself or a multiple-line-adapted model establishing communication through the plurality of telephone lines.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2005Date of Patent: May 25, 2010Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Fumiaki Kobayashi, Tatsuya Nishio
