Patent number: 8887621Abstract: A reciprocating compressor including an oscillation-type piston mechanism is provided with a piston ring which is mounted in a piston ring groove to seal a space between a piston and a cylinder. A ring groove other than the piston ring groove is provided at an outer periphery of the piston on a side away from the piston ring groove and closer to a crank shaft. A guide ring, which is inhibited from radial movement and shaped like a skirt opened toward the crank shaft, is mounted in the ring groove. Thus, the oscillation-type reciprocating compressor is adapted to maintain long-term durability even under high-pressure compression condition and to prevent heat propagation to a large end portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2011Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akito Ohata, Hisatoshi Kobayashi

Patent number: 7741454Abstract: The crosslinking agents and condensing agents that have been employed in biological adhesives and in treating medical devices such as cardiac valves are non-natural compounds synthesized artificially. Thus, they are not metabolized in vivo and exhibit toxicity to living bodies. These compounds are thus used only in a restricted amount and for limited purposes in the clinical sites. The present invention provides a biological low-molecular-weight derivative obtained by modifying carboxyl groups of a biological low-molecular-weight compound with N-hydroxysuccinimide, N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide, or a derivative thereof and a crosslinked high-molecular-weight product obtained by crosslinking various high-molecular-weight compounds with this derivative.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2003Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignees: National Institute for Materials Science, Furuuchi Chemical CorporationInventors: Tetsushi Taguchi, Hisatoshi Kobayashi, Junzo Tanaka, Hirofumi Saito
