  • Patent number: 11972991
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes: an inner frame that surrounds an outer circumference of a semiconductor chip; and an outer frame that surrounds an outer circumference of the inner frame; wherein the outer frame is configured with an exterior wall that surrounds the outer circumference of the inner frame, and a fibrous reinforcing member that is wound on an outer circumference of the exterior wall. This prevents the broken pieces of a component that constitutes the semiconductor device from being scattered outside the semiconductor device, thereby not only to achieve improvement in the reliability of the entire system, but also to achieve downsizing of the semiconductor device.

  • Publication number: 20240033296
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a therapeutic agent that is more efficacious for treating nerve disorders, said therapeutic agent comprising a culture supernatant of mesenchymal stem cells. The present invention provides a therapeutic agent for nerve disorders, said therapeutic agent comprising a culture supernatant of mesenchymal stem cells and/or cells capable of differentiating into mesenchymal stem cells and being to be used together with stimulation of patient's nerves, wherein the stimulation is preferentially provided to one or more sites selected from the group consisting of a site of nerve damage, an area surrounding a site of nerve damage, and a site compensating for the function of a site of nerve damage.

  • Publication number: 20230285466
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a therapeutic agent containing mesenchymal stem cells, which is more effective for the treatment of a nerve damage. The present invention provides a therapeutic agent for a nerve damage. The therapeutic agent is a preparation for intravenous administration which contains mesenchymal stem cells and/or cells capable of being differentiated into mesenchymal stem cells, and is used in combination with the application of a stimulus to nerves in a patient, in which the application of a stimulus is carried out during a time period between a time point at which the administration of the therapeutic agent is not carried out yet and a time point at which 6 hours has passed after the administration of the therapeutic agent.
