Patent number: 7354403Abstract: A plurality of cushions are provided in the airbag of a cuff apparatus, spaced apart from one another and thus maintaining the airbag in an inflated state before compressed air is introduced into the airbag. This shortens the time required to supply the compressed air and minimizes the resistance to the body part being inserted into the cuff apparatus. Therefore, the body part can smoothly enter the cuff apparatus and the flow of blood can be sufficiently suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2004Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: Terumo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Hiroshi Mochizuki

Patent number: 6762780Abstract: A printing apparatus includes an image forming portion for selectively forming images to a card and to an intermediate transfer sheet, and a transfer portion for transferring images formed onto an intermediate transfer medium to a card. The image forming portion and transfer portion are opposingly arranged to a card transport path and are arranged offset along the card transport path. This allows the shared use of members for direct transfer and indirect transfer to enable smooth printing. The apparatus switches between the direct transfer method and the indirect transfer method to print to the card and enables lower costs and improved printing speed.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2002Date of Patent: July 13, 2004Assignee: Nisca CorporationInventors: Wataru Tsuruta, Hiroshi Mochizuki, Masao Watanabe
