  • Patent number: 11959892
    Abstract: A liquid chromatograph is presented which enables automatic resolution of a liquid sending failure when the liquid sending failure caused by a liquid sending pump occurs, and execution of a new analysis with good reproducibility after the liquid sending failure is resolved. The liquid sending failure can be automatically resolved by a purging operation. A sample remaining in the analysis flow path is washed away by a non-injection analysis after the liquid sending failure is resolved, and a new analysis can be executed with good reproducibility.

  • Patent number: 5166375
    Abstract: The antioxidant is safe for human health, has excellent antioxidation activity and is suitably utilized for preventing oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, esters of unsaturated fatty acids and various kinds of products comprising these acids and esters. The oxidation resistant polyunsaturated oil is made by giving strong antioxidation activity to polyunsaturated oils, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, esters of polyunsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fats.The antioxidant comprises musizin and tocopherol as the effective components. The oxidation resistant polyunsaturated oil and fat of the invention is characterized in that an antioxidant comprising musizin as the effective component is added to a polyunsaturated oil.

  • Patent number: 5143402
    Abstract: The tilt position of a steering device can be freely adjusted by changing the engagement position of facing sets of gear teeth. A pair of supporting plates each provided with a circular arc-shaped long hole is attached to the lower part of a steering column, and a shaft is received and freely movable (by operation of a tilt lever) within the long holes. The shaft is movable between positions for engagement and release of the gears, while being supported within the long holes of the plates.

  • Patent number: 5059388
    Abstract: Using an organic binder containing at least one water-soluble thermoplastic organic polymer and at least one water-insoluble thermoplastic organic polymer, the water-soluble thermoplastic organic polymer is extracted by debinding treatment in which a plastic molded part such as injection molded part and water are brought into contact with each other to prevent the occurrence of cracks in the molded part. Removal by extraction of the water-soluble thermoplastic polymer reduces the amount of the organic binder contained in the molded part sufficiently, thus preventing the softening and deformation of the molded part at the time of optionally heating and removing the remainder of the organic binder and/or sintering of the molded part and also preventing the occurrence of swelling and cracks by the effect of guide passage formed by the extraction of the organic polymer.
