Patent number: 4963145Abstract: A porous ceramic material composed of a sintered porous body of a calcium phosphate compound is described. A multiplicity of capillary void paths having a diameter of 1 to 30 .mu.m and a multiplicity of pores having a diameter of 1 to 600 .mu.m are formed in the sintered porous body. At least part of the pores are connected to the exterior space of the sintered porous body through at least a part of the capillary voids. The porous ceramic material is valuable as a medical material, e.g., a substitute or prosthesis for bone or dental root, and also an electronic material and a genetic engineering material.When the porous ceramic material is embedded in a bone defect of human or animals, osteolytic cells, osteoblasts, erythrocytes and body fluid are selectively allowed to intrude through the porous ceramic material while almost no intrusion of osteoclasts and collagen fibers is allowed.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1989Date of Patent: October 16, 1990Assignee: Sumitomo Cement Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigehide Takagi, Shigeru Yamauchi

Patent number: 4571124Abstract: There is disclosed a method of forming a cast-in-place concrete pile. A demolition-facilitating substance is mounted in an open top confined space above a predetermined level. The demolition-facilitating substance is expansible upon lapse of a predetermined period of time. Concrete is poured into the confined space to cover the demolition-facilitating substance to cast a concrete pile, so that the demolition-facilitating substance is expanded to produce cracks in the concrete pile above the predetermined level.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1983Date of Patent: February 18, 1986Assignee: Sumitomo Cement Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ichiro Matsui, Hiroaki Kobayashi, Hideo Sano
