Publication number: 20160303332Abstract: An injection needle 1 made of an alloy containing cobalt and molybdenum is manufactured as follows. First, a lancet cut is carried out to a pipe-like metallic material composed of the alloy containing cobalt and molybdenum to form a blade tip 3 and a blade part 5. Then, a distal end part 1A including the blade tip 3 is mechanically polished, and thereafter, the distal end part 1A is immersed in an electrolytic solution and electrolytically polished. Thus, burrs at the blade tip 3 or the like generated during mechanical polishing are removed. Since the injection needle 1 is composed of the alloy containing cobalt and molybdenum, compared to a conventional injection needle made of stainless steel, an injection needle in which the surface roughness of an inner peripheral surface of the injection needle is low and smooth can be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2016Publication date: October 20, 2016Inventors: Yoshiharu IWASE, Yutaka EIZUMI, Isao SASAKI

Patent number: 8336402Abstract: The present invention is directed to devices and methods in which one or more miniature synthetic jet actuators are integrated with a chemical fluidic sensor (ChemFET) to effect inhalation and exhalation of ambient gas samples and induce small scale mixing at the surface of the sensor. The fluidically integrated jet transports ambient gas or liquid into the jet/sensor assembly through integrated gas or liquid channels, impinges the sample gas or liquid on the sensing element, and finally ejects the sample gas or liquid back into the ambient gas or liquid. The response of the sensor in the presence of the active jet is compared to its response when the jet is inactive. The jet actuator directs entrained ambient gas or liquid toward the active surface of the sensor, and the impingement of sample gas or liquid onto the surface of the sensor results in faster response time. Other embodiments are also claimed and described.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2007Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Georgia Tech Research CorporationInventors: Ari Glezer, Isao Sasaki, Jiri Janata

Patent number: 7986865Abstract: The recording operation can be rapidly started and a notification about the operating state during the recording operation can be realized without adding a new component, whereby a target scene of a subject can be recorded reliably. When a video signal captured by a camera unit 10 is compressed and encoded and is recorded on a DV tape, a control unit 100 controls a compression/decompression unit 40 and a tape deck unit 60 to compress and encode the video signal and record as DV data without using compressed data already recorded on the DV tape. In other words, the control unit 100 controls the operation of compressing and encoding video data to be newly recorded in such a manner that compressed data already recorded on the DV tape is not read out, thus reducing the time until recording of the video data on the DV tape is started.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2005Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Hisashi Ohashi, Isao Sasaki, Takao Ohsawa
