Patent number: 11534283Abstract: Porous implantable devices for housing one or more therapeutic agents are disclosed herein. The implantable devices include a porous outer wall defining an interia or void. The interior void houses a carrier material carrying a first therapeutic agent. The implantable devices are made by patterning at least a portion of a polymerizable substrate into a polymerized three-dimensional porous outer wall surrounding an interior void. This can be achieved by two-photon polymerization techniques. A first therapeutic agent is then added to the interior void, which is then sealed. Methods of treating diseases using the implantable devices are disclosed herein. The methods include implanting the implantable device at a target area and locally releasing a therapeutically effective dosage of a first therapeutic agent from the interior void. The implantable devices can also be used in methods of screening potentially therapeutic agents for desired biological responses.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2018Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignees: CHILDREN'S NATIONAL MEDICAL CENTER, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARKInventors: Alexander I.

Patent number: 8567792Abstract: A resin sub-seal member (11) provided with a concave groove (16) is disposed at a region closer to a higher-pressure side region than a rubber main seal member (10) and pressure variation in a gas on a higher-pressure side is inhibited from being transmitted to the main seal member (10). Further, a variation reducing space (13) is formed between the seal members (10) and (11) to be able to reduce the pressure variation when gas leakage in the sub-seal member (11) occurs or the sub-seal member (11) responds with a delay with respect to the pressure variation. Thus, rapid change in the pressure of the gas surrounding the main seal member (10) is inhibited, occurrence of the blistering phenomenon is inhibited, and a high seal ability is achieved. The seal structure is formed by a simple structure including the seal members (10) and (11), and the variation reducing space (13).Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2004Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Kawasaki Jukogyo Kaisha KabusihaInventors: Kaoru Nomichi, Seiji Ishii, Makoto Ninomiya, Yasuji Kanou, Hiroshi Aoshiba, Masaki Kawahigashi, Takeo Kozuki

Patent number: 8245730Abstract: Electric power is supplied to a coil (17) to drive a valve (16) for displacement by a magnetic action, thereby adjusting the opening of a valve path (43). The electric power for thus driving the valve (16) is supplied to the coil (17) through an electric conductor wire (18). The electric conductor wire (18) extends from a portion of a housing (15) that is exposed from a tank (11) to a portion of the housing (15) that accommodates the coil (17) therein. Thus, the housing (15) holds the electric conductor wire (18) as extending inside the housing (15). Since the electric conductor wire (18) is thus held as extending inside the housing (15), the electric conductor wire (18) is protected against vibration and impact given thereto from the outside. Thus, the electric conductor wire (18) has enhanced reliability in terms of resistance to vibration and impact. With the electric conductor wire (18) thus positioned within the housing (15), the housing (15) can house the electric conductor wire (18) neatly.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2004Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Kawasaki Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kaoru Nomichi, Seiji Ishii, Makoto Ninomiya

Patent number: 7814925Abstract: Under emergency, a valve body displaced from a closed position to an open position in association with melting of a fuse member receives resultant of pressing forces of a primary pressure of gas guided through a primary port in an opening direction in a state where the valve body is disposed at the position closer to the open position including a fluid driving start position between the closed position and the open position. The valve body receives smaller resultant of the pressing forces of the primary pressure in the opening direction in a state where the valve body is disposed at the position closer to the closed position than to the fluid driving start position than the resultant of the pressing forces received by the valve body in the state where the valve body is disposed at the position closer to the open position including the fluid driving start position.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2004Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kawasaki Precision MachineryInventors: Kaoru Nomichi, Seiji Ishii, Makoto Ninomiya

Patent number: 7712482Abstract: A pressure-reducing valve includes a housing, a pressure-reducing piston, a driving piston, and a spring mechanism. The housing is provided with a primary port and a secondary port. The pressure-reducing piston is displaceably retained in an interior of the housing. The pressure-reducing piston is displaced to control an opening degree of the primary port and configured to separate the interior of the housing into a primary-pressure space connected to the primary port and a secondary-pressure space connected to the secondary port. The driving piston is displaceably retained in the interior of the housing. The driving piston is displaced to cause the pressure-reducing piston to be displaced in association therewith and has a secondary-pressure receiving surface that receives a secondary pressure from a fluid in the secondary-pressure space. The spring mechanism is configured to exert a spring force against the secondary pressure to at least one of the pistons.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2007Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kawasaki Precision MachineryInventors: Kaoru Nomichi, Seiji Ishii, Makoto Ninomiya

Patent number: 7562675Abstract: A plunger (45) and a piston (46) are displaceably held in a housing (104) for opening and closing a valve path (107) defined in the housing (104), and a single common seat block (44) provided for the plunger (45) and the piston (46) is fixed to the housing (104) and has seat portions (47) each formed from a soft material for respective of the plunger (45) and the piston (46) to be pressed thereon. This arrangement provides a valve device which is simplified in structure and can be manufactured with reduced man-hour.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2005Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kawasaki Precision MachineryInventors: Kaoru Nomichi, Seiji Ishii, Yutaka Suzuki, Makoto Ninomiya, Yuko Funakubo

Patent number: 7490765Abstract: A management computer 21 extracts product type information from a product type data storing unit 23 based on an input product type identifier, and receives information about a selected shipment destination. Then, the management computer 21 extracts a permission type from a shipment destination specification data storing unit 22 based on the product type and a shipment destination identifier. Further, the management computer 21 determines whether or not permission about the permission type has been obtained. When the permission has been obtained, the management computer 21 extracts a permission identifier. The management computer 21 extracts rating information of the product type data based on record items of the shipment destination specification data, and provides an instance format of the rating label.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2003Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Seiji Ishii, Yukio Kobayashi, Takeshi Kikuchi, Kohichi Hashimoto
