Abstract: An inlet passage portion, which is a substantially columnar space through which a tip end of a guide wire is inserted into an opening portion to pass the guide wire, a shaping portion, which is a space communicating with the inlet passage portion through an outlet portion, which is a portion located at a deepest part of the inlet passage portion, and flatly expanding from the outlet portion, an annular inner wall, which forms an inner circumferential portion of the shaping portion, an extension line intersection portion, which is an inner wall intersecting an extension line of a center line of the inlet passage portion at an obtuse angle, and an obtuse angle side inner wall portion, which is an inner wall extending from the outlet portion to the extension line intersection portion and forming an obtuse angle with the extension line are included.

Abstract: To provide a guide wire shaping mold that reduces damage to a blood vessel by folding back a tip end of the guide wire and do not require heating treatment, and a guide wire shaping method using the guide wire shaping mold. A guide wire shaping mold configured to shaping by reducing an annular diameter of the guide wire in which a tip end is annularly arranged, the guide wire shaping mold includes a wire shaping portion configured such that an annular portion of the guide wire is arranged, and a wire drawing path formed in a passage way shape, communicating with the wire shaping portion, and configured to retract the guide wire in a linear direction and in a base end direction.

Abstract: An air purification device includes a reactor having a hollow shape and extending in one direction, a discharge plasma generator comprising a first electrode disposed on an outer wall of the reactor and a second electrode disposed inside the reactor, where the discharge plasma generator is configured to generate a discharge plasma in a discharge region, a plurality of dielectric particles disposed on a packed-bed of the reactor, a liquid supplier which supplies a liquid into the reactor, and a liquid recoverer which recovers the liquid discharged from the reactor.

Abstract: A retractor holds a surgical incision in a body in an opened state to ensure a surgical field in small-incision endoscopic surgery, and includes a base body that is a thin plate made of tin having a purity of not less than 99.9% and has an elongated rectangular shape in an extended state of the base body. The retractor, in an extended form in a rectangular shape or in a rounded form in a small shape, can be inserted from a small incision wound into the body, and can easily be delivered to the surgical incision in the body by a surgical instrument. The base body is bent and deformed into a desired shape by the surgical instrument and is applied to the surgical incision in the body, so that the surgical incision can be held in an opened state so as to ensure the surgical field.

Abstract: A magnetic fluid drive unit 100 having a double tube 10 comprising an inner tube 11 and an outer tube 12 formed on the outer side of the inner tube 11, and a magnetic field applicator 30 installed on the outer side of the double tube 10, the inner tube 11 having, in the region where a magnetic field is applied by the magnetic field applicator 30, a high heat conducting region 21 and a low heat conducting region 22 aligned in the lengthwise direction of the inner tube 11, the inside of the inner tube 11 being a heating medium flow path, and the area between the inner tube 11 and the outer tube 12 being a magnetic fluid flow path.

Abstract: Provided is a transformer oil that has high environmental compatibility and is expected to be further improved in transformer cooling properties. The transformer oil is a transformer oil prepared by mixing a plant oil and a silicone oil and containing no mineral oil, in which a volume ratio of the plant oil to the silicone oil is 3:7 to 7:3 and magnetic particles (for example, temperature-sensitive magnetic particles) are dispersed.

Abstract: This retractor easily ensures a surgical field as desired by an operator, can flexibly ensure and change the surgical field in accordance with the surgical site and the surgical situation, and can easily be moved to a desired position in the surgical site and taken out after the surgery. A retractor 1 holds a surgical incision in a body in an opened state to ensure a surgical field in small-incision endoscopic surgery, and includes a base body 2 that is a thin plate made of tin having a purity of not less than 99.9% and has an elongated rectangular shape in an extended state of the base body. The retractor 1, in an extended form in a rectangular shape or in a rounded form in a small shape, can be inserted from a small incision wound into the body, and can easily be delivered to the surgical incision in the body by a surgical instrument.

Abstract: Provided is a retractor that makes it possible to reduce operation costs, is less likely to cause damage to surgical incision sites, do not reduce workability, and also makes it possible to easily maintain the desired surgical field and to change the surgical field or widen or narrow the area of the surgical field, depending on the surgical situation. The retractor 1 for holding a surgical incision open and maintaining a surgical field during an operation includes a belt-shaped body A made of a wire; and a connecting part B that is provided at one end portion of the belt-shaped body A and capable of being connected to another end portion or an intermediate portion of the belt-shaped body A so that the belt-shaped body A can be formed into a loop of a desired size.
