Abstract: A compact and thermally efficient traction drive motor inverter featuring an integrated printed circuit board carrying both power circuitry and signal circuitry on separate electrically isolated layers without significant electromagnetic interference. Electrical communication with subsequent electrically isolated layers is maintained through the use of plated blind vias. Thermal efficiency is improved by utilizing a liquid cooled insulated gate bipolar transistor module with featuring internal flow balancers to optimize coolant flow.

Abstract: This invention employs natural enzymes to activate microbes that break down sludge and toxic substances such as organic compounds existent in polluted water, while at the same time being easily employed on rivers, lakes and water treatment plants. A water purification agent is disseminated via a process of drip distribution into polluted water, resulting in the activation of microbes, which, through their activities, purify the polluted water. The water purification agent is comprised of a mixture of the following: natural enzymes, which, when introduced into polluted water, activate microbes that break down sludge and toxic substances such as organic compounds and sulfides, leading to purification of the water; and a solution of yeast in citric acid water, which facilitates a catalytic reaction that enables the microbes in polluted water to be activated.

Abstract: The electrophoresis apparatus comprises rectifier (A) which rectifies an AC current from a universal AC power source and outputs a rectified wave, an electrophoresis cell and an electric controller which applies an electric output from the rectifier (A) to a carrier disposed in the electrophoresis cell, the elastic controller comprising a controller (3) for indirectly controlling, in accordance with external inputs, a driving section (6) which controls an electric output from the rectifier circuit. The electrophoresis cell unit defines a recess for receiving the electric controller, and a cover is positionable over the electrophoresis cell unit. The cover includes a cover terminal, where the cover and cover terminal are shaped to electrically connect an output terminal of the electric controller to an input terminal of the electrophoresis cell unit when the; cell covers the electrophoresis cell unit.

Abstract: A simplified electrophoresis apparatus which imposes no excessive operating burden on users, permits stable control, can be configured compact and light in weight, and allows electrophoresis to be carried out as excellently as the conventional electrophoresis apparatus. The electrophoresis apparatus comprises rectifier means (A) which rectifies an AC current from a universal AC power source and outputs a rectified wave, an electrophoresis cell and an electric controller which applies an electric output from said rectifier means (A) to a carrier disposed in the electrophoresis cell, the electric controller comprising control means (3) for indirectly controlling, in accordance with external inputs, a driving section (6) which controls an electric output from the rectifier circuit.

Abstract: An interface is formed by incorporating (1) a mixture comprising a water-soluble protein and a drug into a matrix, or preferably (2) a mixture comprising a water-soluble protein and a drug to a porous matrix coated with a cationic surfactant or other ionic surfactant. The coating amount of the ionic surfactant is about 0.1 to 50 .mu.g, and the content of the water-soluble protein is about 0.1 to 1,500 .mu.g, each per 1 cm.sup.2 of the matrix. The water-soluble protein includes an albumin and the drug includes a physiologically active peptide or protein, for example. The use of the stabilized interface inhibits decrease of the drug retaining amount, and insures an effective transdermal drug delivery with a high repeatability and accuracy.

Abstract: A calcitonin, its derivative or a salt thereof is transdermally delivered by iontophoresis in which a substantially constant voltage in the range of 3 to 20 V is applied at an electric current of 0.05 to 0.5 mA/cm.sup.2. In this process, the calcitonin can be delivered transdermally with a higher absorptivity by applying a higher voltage for a short period (at a voltage of about 6 to 14 V for about 5 to 15 minutes) in the initial stage of the voltage application, and then applying a lower voltage for a long period (at a voltage of about 3 to 9 V for about 30 to 40 minutes).
