Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis apparatus includes a time series data obtaining unit for obtaining test data and variable data, the test data being obtained from the test object over a predetermined period of time and being time series data of a predetermined attribute value that dictates whether an abnormality is present in the test object, and the variable data corresponding to the test data for the predetermined period of time and being time series data regarding a variable affecting the attribute value, a superimposed image generating unit for superimposing a waveform of the test data and a waveform of the variable data to generate superimposed image data, and a determining unit for determining whether an abnormality is present in the test object based on the superimposed image data generated by the superimposed image generating unit.

Abstract: A tricalcium-phosphate-based prosthetic material is disclosed, which is a sintered ceramic body mainly consisting of tricalcium phosphate containing a limited amount of zinc, which is a known element having an osteogenesis-promoting effect, in the form of a solid solution. By virtue of the limited content of zinc and the form of solid solution in which zinc is contained, the inventive material exhibits an osteogenesis-promoting effect without toxicity. The ceramic body is prepared, preferably, by a process in which a tricalcium phosphate powder containing 0.015-8.00% by weight of zinc is diluted by the addition of hydroxyapatite and/or tricalcium phosphate free from zinc in such a proportion as to give a (Ca+Zn)/P molar ratio of 1.55 to 1.65 and the powder blend is shaped and subjected to sintering.

Abstract: A free wheel hub mechanism including a body fixed to a wheel, an annular clutch continuously engaged with the body, an interengaging member connected to an axle shaft rotatable therewith and engageable with the annular clutch, a follower operatively connected to the annular clutch and axially movable in response to the rotation of a manual handle, and a nut fixed to the axle shaft for supplying a preload force on a taper bearing between a housing and the axle shaft.
