Abstract: A cylindrical bandage is held in place without using binding means such as strings tied to an upper limb. Additionally, the cylindrical bandage for a lower limb or upper limb fits the shapes and dimensions of a body part and stays on the body part and thus allows great increase in venous return. The cylindrical bandage includes a tubular knit being of a length corresponding to a length of an arm or a leg and a gutter-shaped knit extending from a lengthwise first end of the tubular knit. This gutter-shaped knit has smaller circumferential length than the first end of the tubular knit and has a cut-out section with a horseshoe or V shape.

Abstract: A cardiac net with at least one electrode enhances the pacing effect on a ventricle. The cardiac net with at least one electrode includes non-conductive portions formed by weaving non-conductive or conductive thread, defibrillation electrodes, and pacing electrodes, which are connected to one another. The defibrillation electrodes are configured to cover the circumference of the heart substantially horizontally, and are placed on an upper side and a lower side of the heart. The pacing electrodes are placed between the defibrillation electrodes and used for sensing the motions of the heart and pacing the ventricle. The pacing electrodes are configured to cover the circumference of the heart substantially horizontally so as to overlay the center of a spiral wave reentry. This configuration allows excitatory stimulus to be applied to the heart from the circumference thereof, thereby enabling the pacing electrodes to perform effective pacing.

Abstract: A heart support net in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a reception part configured to receive a heart and to be attached to an outer side of a ventricle. The reception part includes: a first conductive part; a second conductive part; and a non-conductive part. The first conductive part and the second conductive part are each knitted into mesh with a conductive yarn. The non-conductive part is knitted into mesh with a non-conductive yarn.

Abstract: To achieve high fit corresponding to variation in dimensions and shapes in a section of a human body and high return-promoting-effect. The cylindrical bandage (1) has increase and decrease in the number of stitches of row on one circle of a wale side to reflect a variation in circumference of a section of a human body in human body circumference dates m1, m2, m3, . . . . This bandage includes depression part (exterior convex part (42) where stitch shows convexity on the outside and concavity on the inside) and projection part (interior convex part (41) where stitch show concavity on the outside and convexity on the inside) on the inside being in contact with a wear part. The depression part and projection part are alternatively and continuously arranged in parallel in a circumferential direction. This bandage has continuous unevenness in the cross-section by knitting.

Abstract: A battery terminal includes a main body in which a battery post is inserted and a fastener having a pair of fastening abutting portions. The main body has a notch portion provided in at least an end in a fastening direction, accommodating and positioning one of the pair of fastening abutting portions. An abutting-portion-side opposite surface on the fastening abutting portion side and a notch-portion-side opposite surface on the notch portion side have respective abutting surfaces. A relief surface is provided on at least one of the abutting-portion-side opposite surface and the notch-portion-side opposite surface such that a relief space is formed with a clearance from the other one of the opposite surfaces.

Abstract: Magnet slot includes a permanent magnet insertion portion and air regions that is formed at both circumferential direction ends of the permanent magnet insertion portion. The air region includes a first circumferentially extending portion that extends from a circumferentially end portion of the permanent magnet insertion portion to a circumferentially outer side, a radially extending portion that extends from the first circumferentially extending portion to a radially inner side, and a second circumferentially extending portion that extends from the radially extending portion to a circumferentially inner side until reaching between the radially inner peripheral surface of the permanent magnet insertion portion and the shaft hole. A radially inner end surface of the radially extending portion and a radially inner end surface of the second circumferentially extending portion are made up of a portion of a circular arc in contact with the circumferentially outer side surface of the radially extending portion.

Abstract: Cracking and flying around of permanent magnets in a permanent magnet embedded-type rotating electric machine is prevented. Thermally hardening FRP is used as a reinforcement sheet, and the reinforcement sheet is wrapped around the periphery of a permanent magnet and caused to adhere to the surface of the permanent magnet by being thermally hardened. Subsequently, the permanent magnet to which the reinforcement sheet is adhering is embedded in magnet embedding holes of the rotor. The surface of the reinforcement sheet after thermal hardening is in a state of not being attached to the inner wall surface of the magnet embedding holes. Consequently, no stress caused by the difference between the linear expansion coefficients of the rotor and permanent magnets acts on the permanent magnets when the temperature of the rotor rises, and cracking of the permanent magnets can thus be prevented.

Abstract: A small size electronic component has a small direct current resistance value of a conductor pattern and minimal dimensional irregularity of a conductor pattern. In order to form such a component, a photosensitive conductive paste applied on a ceramic substrate and is then exposed through a photo mask and developed so as to form a lower conductor pattern layer of a coil conductor pattern. Then an insulating paste is applied on the ceramic substrate so as to cover the lower conductor pattern layer and the insulating paste is removed with a solvent until at least the upper surface of the lower conductor pattern layer is exposed so as to form an inter-line insulating layer. Furthermore, after applying a photosensitive conductive paste as a film, the exposure and development operation is conducted again while using the photo mask so as to form an upper conductor pattern layer on the lower conductor pattern layer.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electronic component includes forming a slit in a connecting electrode located on the surface of a mother substrate such that the slit extends in a direction intersecting a cutting line, and cutting the mother substrate along the cutting line while cutting the connecting electrode having the slit. The connecting electrode is thereby reliably exposed on two opposing cut surfaces, and the reliability of external connection of the electronic component is improved.
