Abstract: A device treats carbon monoxide poisoning and includes a light emitter that emits light having a wavelength of 600 to 750 nm. A catheter includes a catheter body that has a distal end portion formed of a light-transmissive material and that includes a plurality of lumens; a light emitter that emits light having a wavelength of 600 to 750 nm to allow the light to exit through a first lumen from the distal end portion of the catheter body; a balloon that is disposed around a circumferential surface of the distal end portion, that is in communication with a second lumen, and that guides the distal end portion to downstream blood flow in an inflated state; and a pressure sensor that is disposed at the distal end of the distal end portion and that is connected to a cable inserted through a third lumen.

Abstract: A disc brake operable to apply a clamping force to a rotatable disc, the disc brake comprising: a support bracket including a pair of spaced apart frame members at opposite ends of the support bracket, each frame member having a surface with at least three arms extending therefrom, the at least three arms include a first arm, a second arm, and a third arm, each arm having an opening and being disposed in series with a spacing, therebetween, two opposing spaced apart slide pins engaged with the openings of the first, second and third arms such that at least one of the first, second, and third arms are configured to support the slide pins, inner and outer brake shoes, and a caliper body slidably supported by the slide pins, the caliper body having a slidable piston operable to cause the inner and outer brake shoes to move towards one another.

Abstract: A brake caliper assembly that includes at least one piston bore having an exterior surface and a seal groove that includes a plurality of chamfered walls that are configured to substantially prevent piston to seal slippage at low pressures and allowing piston to seal slippage at high pressures.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a floating caliper type disc brake which can effectively suppress the occurrence of uneven wear in linings of respective pads, and effectively suppress the occurrence of noise and judder during braking. In the present invention, a caliper is supported by a support member displaceably in an axial direction of a rotor. Pressed-side shim plates are respectively lined on reverse surfaces of back plates of pads supported by the support, while supporting-side shim plates are lined on an inner side surface of a claw portion and on a distal end face of a piston. The pressed-side shim plates and the pressing-side shim plates are respectively retained by mating members to be lined on by means of resilient retainers, and one surface of each of the mutually opposing pressed-side shim plates and one surface of each of the pressing-side shim plates are slidably abutted against each other.
