Abstract: A read and write box of a wireless tag reader and writer according to and embodiment of the invention has an open end and a closed end. Multiple envelopes each having a wireless tag at the end are inserted through the open end into the read and write box. The read and write box has a first read antenna and a second read antenna on the upper surface. The first read antenna detects wireless tags in a write area at the closed end; and the second read antenna detects wireless tags outside the write area. A write antenna is disposed at the closed end of the read and write box. The write antenna writes data to wireless tags. A step is formed on the lower surface of the read and write box in such a manner that the bottom of the write area is lower than the bottom adjacent to the open end so that the ends of the envelops align in the vicinity of the closed end.

Abstract: In collecting fuel pressure data in a common rail 2 during engine operation, the common rail fuel pressure is detected each time a crank shaft rotates 6°, and the common rail fuel pressure is stored in storage means 12 by associating the common rail fuel pressure with a cylinder number and a crank angle for tabulation, thus providing improved detection data accuracy.

Abstract: An artificial heart has a driving section, a nozzle section, a pump section for insertion into a ventricle of a human heart, and a sealing section forming a seal for a driving shaft extending from the driving section for driving the pump section. A sealing liquid chamber filled with a sealing liquid is formed around the driving shaft between the sealing mechanism and the driving section. The sealing liquid in the sealing liquid chamber maintains the sealing mechanism in a liquid-tight state and lubricates the sealing mechanism, whereby blood is prevented from entering the driving section. Even if blood happens to enter the driving section, the blood is mixed with the sealing liquid and does not coagulate. Thus, the operation of the artificial heart is not suppressed.

Abstract: Apparatus for inspecting the electrical stimulation of a patients' heart. The apparatus includes a stimulation device in which electrical stimulating wave is generated by an electrical stimulation wave generating device for effecting pacing of a patients' heart in accordance with an externally set stimulation pattern impressed upon the wave and applied to the heart through a catheter, wherein intracardiac electrocardiogram signals are induced, amplified, and recorded on a recorder which is annexed to the stimulation device. The recorder is designed to commence the recording operation in response to a recording start signal in advance of the generation of the final electrical stimulation wave, and to stop the recording operation in response to the intracardiac electrocardiogram signal generated for the first time after the generation of the final electrical stimulation wave.
