Patent number: 6751107Abstract: A DC power supply device includes transformers that operate with an enhanced efficiency and can reduce the factors that generate ripples in the output voltage to make it possible to downsize the transformers and the smoothing filters of the device, reduce the loss attributable to the switching elements during its constant power output operation and also downsize the heat sink fins so that the overall dimensions of the power supply device may be reduced. The DC power supply device also comprises a pair of switching changers, two output transformers and two rectifying/smoothing sections for rectifying the respective outputs of the switching changers. Each of the two switching changers has the same switching cycle period and the striking phases of the switching elements of one of the switching changers and those of the switching elements of the other switching changer are made variable.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2002Date of Patent: June 15, 2004Assignee: Shindengen Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiaki Matsuda, Shinya Ofuji

Patent number: 6246594Abstract: A switching power supply having low loss includes two sub switching elements connected in series, which are then connected in parallel with a bridge circuit. A resonance coil and a sub primary winding are connected between a connection point of the series connection circuits and an output terminal of the bridge circuit. Resonance capacitors are respectively connected in parallel with each main switching element constituting the bridge circuit so as to resonate with the resonance coil. Voltages across the two ends of A phase and B phase sub secondary windings magnetically coupled to the sub primary winding are clamped to the supply voltage. A fixed voltage in proportion to the turns ratio is generated in the sub primary winding. A voltage applied to the resonance coil becomes small, and current fluctuation becomes small.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2000Date of Patent: June 12, 2001Assignee: Shindengen Electric Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiaki Matsuda, Taisuke Endo

Patent number: 5385836Abstract: A carrier for adhering animal cells during culturing or for immobilization of animal cells is produced by coating a porous substrate with a cell adhesive material in the form of a mixture with chitosan. In a preferred embodiment, the porous substrate is a nonwoven fabric prepared by impregnating a nonwoven fabric web with a binder resin, and the mixture contains silk fibroin, gelatin and chitosan. Coating is carried out by contacting the nonwoven fabric with a solution prepared by adding silk fibroin and gelatin to an acidic aqueous solution of chitosan to coat the nonwoven fabric, drying the coated nonwoven fabric and treating the dried nonwoven fabric with an alkali to render the chitosan insoluble.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1992Date of Patent: January 31, 1995Assignees: Japan Vilene Co.

Patent number: 5260211Abstract: A process and system for cultivating adhesive cells in a packed bed of solid cell matrix is disclosed. Adhesive cells are adhered to a solid cell matrix, preferably ceramic particles, and packed in a cell culture tank to form the packed bed. The culture medium is circulated through the packed bed in a direction. The circulating of the culture medium is then stopped and the direction of the medium being circulated is reversed. This periodic switching of the direction of the culture medium reduces channelling of the culture medium. The bottom or head of the culture tank can also contain a separator to trap any bubble existing in the culture medium or to trap any quantity of cell matrix possibly running out from the culture tank.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1990Date of Patent: November 9, 1993Assignee: Snow Brand Milk Products Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiaki Matsuda, Shinjiro Mitsuda, Eitaro Kumazawa, Atushi Baba, Masakatsu Uesaka

Patent number: 5079161Abstract: Cell cultivation is carried out by proliferating cells in a small preliminary culture tank containing immobilizing carriers, stripping proliferated cells from the carriers, forming a cell suspension of the stripped cells in culture medium in an intermediate reservoir, intermittently transferring the suspension into a main culture tank containing ceramic immobilizing carriers and further culturing the cells. The main culture tank has an inversed funnel-shaped inlet above the carriers with a perforated plate attached to the bottom of the inlet for uniform distribution of cell suspension from above the carriers, and a plate in the form of a net under the carriers on a perforated plate for uniform distribution of cell suspension from beneath the carriers.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1989Date of Patent: January 7, 1992Assignee: Snow Brand Milk Products Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinjiro Mitsuda, Yoshiaki Matsuda, Naoki Kobayashi, Eitaro Kumazawa, Hideo Sakuma

Patent number: 4543079Abstract: In a wrapping connector driving apparatus for agricultural machines including a chain reeved around sprocket wheels on two shafts, a tension adjusting device is provided on the slack side of the chain. A tightener bearing against the chain tensions the chain. A piston slidably fitting in an oil enclosing cylinder is pressed against the tightener by a resilient member. An abnormal load, when acting on the chain, is absorbed by the resilient member and the oil enclosed in the cylinder, which is provided with a passageway for releasing the increased internal pressure due to the abnormal load. When relieved of the load, the cylinder can be supplied with oil by way of a check valve. The tension on the chain is thus automatically adjustable.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1984Date of Patent: September 24, 1985Assignee: Kubota Ltd.Inventors: Yoshiaki Matsuda, Yoshimitsu Oohashi, Keiichi Sanpei, Yoshifumi Nagamine
