Abstract: A prefilled syringe of a before-use mixing type not requiring a bypass portion defined by a recessed inner surface portion of an outer cylinder, including first and second gaskets (4,5) fitted in the outer cylinder (2), and non-rotatively and complementarily shaped engagement portions (12, 13) respectively at a front end of the first gasket (4) and a rear end of the second gasket (5) to reduce the period for transferring a liquid between two chambers separated by the gaskets. During storage, the engagement portions abut each other to be kept out of engagement with each other, whereby a drug containing space is defined between the gaskets. When a liquid is transferred from a space defined on a rear side of the first gasket (4) to the drug containing space, the internal pressure of the drug containing space is prevented from being excessively increased.

Abstract: An information processing system includes an information processing unit configured to move a virtual camera in a virtual space within a predetermined movable range in response to a movement and/or a posture of a controller. The information processing unit changes a correspondence relation between the movement and/or the posture of the controller and a capturing direction and/or a viewing point position of the virtual camera after the movement of the virtual camera reaches a limit of the movable range due to the movement of the controller in a predetermined direction.

Abstract: In a prefilled syringe including an elastic seal member to be pierced with a needle for use to eject a protein pharmaceutical preparation therefrom, the elastic seal member ensures smooth and reliable piercing thereof with the needle while reliably preventing an active substance of the protein pharmaceutical preparation from being adsorbed thereon. When a protective film (3) is laminated to a top surface of a seal body (2) of an elastic material, the protective film (3) is stretched to a greater extent by a recess (4) provided in the top surface. Further, the piercing portion to be pierced with the needle is provided in a bottom of the recess (4). Thus, the protective film (3) is formed as locally having a smaller thickness in the piercing portion.

Abstract: A prefilled syringe of a before-use mixing type is provided, which does not require a bypass portion defined by a recessed inner surface portion of an outer cylinder. In the prefilled syringe, a first gasket (4) and a second gasket (5) are fitted in the outer cylinder (2), and non-rotatively and complementarily shaped engagement portions (12), (13) are respectively provided at a front end of the first gasket (4) and a rear end of the second gasket (5) in order to reduce a liquid transfer period required for transferring a liquid between two chambers separated by the gaskets. During storage, the engagement portions (12), (13) abut against each other to be kept out of engagement with each other, whereby a drug containing space is defined between the gaskets (4), (5). When a liquid is transferred from a liquid containing space defined on a rear side of the first gasket (4) to the drug containing space, the internal pressure of the drug containing space is prevented from being excessively increased.

Abstract: Based on posture/motion information which is output from predetermined detection means for detecting a posture or a motion of an input device operated by a user, a posture of the input device at a predetermined timing is calculated and stored as a reference posture. Then, based on the posture/motion information, the posture of the input device is constantly calculated as a current posture, and a difference of the current posture from the reference posture is calculated. In addition, based on the difference between the posture/motion information and the posture difference, a re-calculation necessity degree, which represents the necessity degree of re-calculation of the reference posture, is constantly calculated. When the re-calculation necessity degree exceeds a predetermined value, a presentation for urging the re-calculation of the reference posture is made.

Abstract: Based on posture/motion information obtained from predetermined detection means for detecting a posture or a motion of an input device operated by a user, power value data, which is a parameter representing the power to be given to an object is calculated. In addition, a braking power applied to the input device is calculated based on the posture/motion information. Then, the object is moved based on the power value data and the braking value data.

Abstract: Posture/motion information is repeatedly obtained from predetermined detection means for detecting a posture or a motion of an input device operated by a user, and a power value used for moving an object in a virtual space is calculated. In addition, a follow-up power value, which follows the calculated power value, is repeatedly calculated based on the posture/motion information. Then, the object is moved based on the follow-up power value.

Abstract: An example information processing system includes a display controller configured to display a screen that includes a plurality of subjects and at least one content generated by a user, the at least one content satisfying a predetermined timing condition for each subject in a display, at least one content for a subject being included in a plurality of contents posted with regard to the subject.

Abstract: A syringe (1B) comprises: a syringe body (1C) including a plunger (32) to be operated for injection of a drug solution; a cylindrical needle cover (11B) housing an injection needle (100A); and a spring (18) held in a compressed state by the needle cover (11B). The needle cover (11B) has seats (153A) and (155B) in a pair that abut on corresponding opposite ends of the spring (18) to restrict the position of the spring (18). Pushing in the plunger (32) further after injection deforms the seat (155A) to release restriction on the spring (18). The spring (18) free from the restriction abuts on the syringe body (1C). This biases the needle cover (11B) to move the needle cover (11B) to a position where the injection needle (100A) is housed.

Abstract: Provided is a very safe pre-filled syringe that reduces the time and efforts required in administering the injection. In the pre-filled syringe, a needle unit attached to a vial includes: a substantially columnar retaining member with needles at both ends; a holder member holding the retaining member with three pillar-shaped parts; and a holder member holding the retaining member with three pillar-shaped parts and having an attachment portion for the vial. The needle unit is axially retractable when the pillar-shaped parts are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction, and is not axially retractable when distal end surfaces of the pillar-shaped parts in one holder member face distal end surfaces of the pillar-shaped parts in the other holder member. Axially retracting the needle unit makes an injection needle project, and makes a perforation needle project inside the vial.
