  • Apparatus and method for production of liposomes
    Patent number: 8951450
    Abstract: Disclosed are: an apparatus which enables the easy production of liposomes having uniform particle diameters; and others. Specifically disclosed is a liposome production apparatus comprising: a microtube having a flow path through which a lipid-dissolved solution comprising at least one lipid, water and a water-miscible organic solvent can pass; a housing section in which the microtube is accommodated; and a cooling means for cooling the dissolved solution contained in the microtube in the housing section to a temperature at which liposomes can be produced. The apparatus enables the production of liposomes having uniform particle diameters.
    Type: Grant

  • Manufacturing method for a PTC thermistor
    Patent number: 5351390
    Abstract: PTC (positive temperature coefficient) thermistors of a novel configuration and a method for their manufacture. The PTC thermistors have a PTC element sandwiched between two electrodes for which leads are formed as an extension of each of the two electrodes protruding beyond the edge of the PTC element. Several manufacturing methods avoid undue thermal and physical stress to the PTC composition while providing PTC thermistors having a variety of shapes and configurations.
