Patent number: 11970390Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for producing a microchannel device, which can form a channel that has high hydrophobicity, high solvent resistance as well, and also resistance to heat and damage, on demand with high accuracy, and produces the microchannel device at a low cost, while having high productivity. The method for producing a microchannel device includes: forming a channel pattern from a hydrophobic resin on a porous substrate by an electrophotographic method; melting the channel pattern by heat to allow the channel pattern to permeate into the porous substrate, thereby forming a channel in the inside of the porous substrate.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takeshi Yamamoto, Jun Miura, Keiji Miyazaki, Hiroki Tanaka, Makoto Fukatsu, Akihisa Matsukawa, Takayuki Kanazawa, Keigo Mizusawa, Masanori Seki, Masanori Tanaka

Publication number: 20230125280Abstract: Novel tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds are disclosed herein that may be used as an active ingredient for a pharmaceutical composition, and in particular, for a pharmaceutical composition useful for preventing or treating a disease or condition responsive to modulation of the contractility of the skeletal sarcomere. This may be accomplished, for example, by modulation of the troponin complex of the fast skeletal muscle sarcomere through one or more of fast skeletal myosin, actin, tropomyosin, troponin C, troponin I, and troponin T, and fragments and isoforms thereof. The tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative compounds can thus be used as an agent for preventing or treating 1) neuromuscular disorders, 2) disorders of voluntary muscle, 3) CNS disorders in which muscle weakness, atrophy, and fatigue are prominent symptoms, 4) muscle symptoms stemming from systemic disorders, and 5) dysfunctions of pelvic floor and urethral/anal sphincter muscle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2022Publication date: April 27, 2023Inventors: Ippei SATO, Takashi KAMIKUBO, Masanori MIURA, Yuji MATSUSHIMA, Hiroaki TANAKA, Yasuhiro SHIINA, Susumu YAMAKI, Tomoyuki SAITO, Hiroshi KIYOHARA, Munemichi OHE, Kayoko MIHARA, Bradley Paul MORGAN, Fady MALIK, Scott Emile COLLIBEE, Luke ASHCRAFT, Pu-Ping LU, Jeffrey Michael WARRINGTON, Marc GARARD

Patent number: 11009340Abstract: A film thickness measuring apparatus includes a displacement sensor, and a film thickness calculator that includes a first processor, a second processor, and a third processor. The displacement sensor detects displacement of a sheet in its thickness direction at a location opposite to a portion of a terahertz scanner from which a terahertz wave is applied to a conveyance path. In accordance with a detection signal provided by the displacement sensor, the first processor determines the speed of displacement of the sheet in its thickness direction while the sheet is conveyed along the conveyance path. In accordance with the speed of displacement, the second processor corrects a scan waveform acquired by the terahertz scanner. In accordance with the peaks of the intensity of the terahertz wave that appear in the scan waveform corrected by the second processor, the third processor calculates the thickness of a film formed on the sheet.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masanori Miura, Jun Takayanagi
