Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a foamed synthetic resin molded body. In this method, in the case where a hole-like portion is a through hole, when foam molding is performed, the occurrence of molding defects such as voids at the periphery of the hole-like portion can be sufficiently prevented or suppressed without forming a burr portion that closes the hole-like portion. Also in this method, in the case where the hole-like portion is a non-through hole, the occurrence of molding defects such as voids at a bottom portion of the hole-like portion can be sufficiently prevented or suppressed.

Abstract: In a fuel cell unit 16 that constitutes a fuel cell module 2 of an SOFC device 1, a collector cap 86a is connected to an inner electrode layer 90 via a seal material 96 as an Ag seal portion. A glass coating 30 (dense body) is filled up between the inner electrode layer 90 and an electrolyte layer 94 and the collector cap 86a to cover an upper end surface 96a of the seal material 96. As such, the fuel cell unit 16 includes the seal material 96 constituting as an Ag seal portion that separates a fuel gas from an oxidant gas, and a glass coating 30 at least partially formed to over at least either the fuel gas side surface of the seal material 96 or an the oxidant gas side surface of the seal material 96.

Abstract: The present invention provides a tooth root formation promoting factor and a method for promotion of tooth root formation, which can promote tooth root formation and which are useful in various aspects of dental therapy. Specifically, the tooth root formation promoting factor contains, as an active ingredient, proteins belonging to the FGF8 subfamily (i.e., fibroblast growth factors); and the method includes administering proteins belonging to the FGF8 subfamily to a mammalian.

Abstract: A new, antibacterial composition for use in oral administration is now provided, which composition comprises a mixture of Cefditoren pivoxyl with a water soluble casein salt. This composition has a reduced bitter taste of Cefditoren pivoxyl and also has improved properties regarding the rate and concentration of dissolution of Cefditoren pivoxyl in water and a ratio of dissolution out of Cefditoren pivoxyl into water. This composition further can attain a high absorbability of the Cefditoren component at the digestive tubes upon oral administration thereof. In this composition, the ratio (by weight) of Cefditoren pivoxyl to the casein salt added may preferably be in a range of 1:0.1 to 1:4. By further addition of a water-soluble polyphosphoric acid salt to the composition, the composition can prevent a ratio of dissolution out into water of the Cefditoren pivoxyl component being decreased when the composition was stored under severe conditions.

Abstract: A grinding wheel spindle assembly comprises a first casing and a second casing spaced apart from and facing the first casing. A shaft has one end fixed to the first casing and another opposite end fixed to the second casing. A hollow, cylindrical-shaped rotor is rotatably disposed over the shaft between the first and second casings for rotation relative to the shaft. A flange having opposite side surfaces is connected to an outer circumference of the rotor for rotation therewith. A grindstone is connected to an outer circumference of the flange for rotation therewith. A radial magnetic bearing magnetically supports the rotor in its radial direction, and an axial magnetic bearing magnetically supports the rotor in its axial direction. At least one driving motor is provided for rotating the rotor about a center axis thereof.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting machining states of a workpiece in a machine tool comprises a non-contact type displacement detector for detecting a radial bending displacement of a spindle in a region between a machining point and a front bearing of a tool spindle or a work spindle. The displacements correspond to states under which the machine tool starts operating, and the tool contacts the workpiece to various unfinished faces, a machining state and a machining surface condition of the workpiece during machining. By inputting the detection signal to different frequency band pass filters, the machining states and the workpiece surface condition are discriminated. A set of comparators compare the output signals from the frequency band pass filters with set reference values. The respective machining states are judged from the comparative results. Comparative judgment signals are inputted to a control unit, thereby controlling the machine tool to automatically perform appropriate machining operations.
