Patent number: 8920167Abstract: The present invention provides an inexpensive surgical guide preparation tool by which an insertion hole for implant can be correctly and easily formed at a predetermined position. The surgical guide preparation tool has a pair of marker members opposing to each other and a gauge body which has a support member for connecting the marker members, and the gauge body is attached to a surgical guide body. The surface of each marker member is provided with grid-like lines which are recognizable by a CT scanned image and disposed longitudinally and laterally at substantially regular intervals; predetermined marks are chosen from intersections of the grid-like lines, and a guide ring is attached to the surgical guide body so that a direction connecting the chosen marks is used as an axial direction of the guide ring. The axial direction of the guide ring is used as an insertion direction for implant.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2010Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Implantdent Co., Ltd.Inventor: Isao Akutsu

Publication number: 20140186162Abstract: In a gas exhaust pump, there is provided a rotation mechanism that can ensure safe rotation and can greatly reduce the usage of a seal gas. A rotation mechanism of the present invention is formed of a rotating shaft and a seal housing. Between the rotating shaft and the seal housing, there is provided a predetermined gap. On at least one of an outer surface of the rotating shaft and an inner surface of the seal housing, there is provided a PFA film. As to a PFA film on a surface of at least one of the rotating shaft and the seal housing, after coating with PFA the wall surface of the rotation mechanism member defining at least the gap, followed by melting and remelting processes, the PFA film is formed to have a high smoothness on its free surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2012Publication date: July 3, 2014Applicant: TOHOKU UNIVERSITYInventors: Masamichi Iwaki, Tadahiro Ohmi, Kenji Ohyama, Isao Akutsu, Hajime Iizuka

Publication number: 20140161600Abstract: There is provided a stator that can ensure safe rotation even if a width of a gap between a screw rotor and a stator is particularly smaller than that of a conventional one and can greatly increase a pumping performance of a pump. A stator of the present invention is formed of a metal and a PFA film is provided on an inner wall surface of a top end surface of a screw rotor. After coating the inner wall surface with PFA, followed by melting and remelting processes, the PFA film is formed to have a high smoothness. The stator is placed with a gap between the inner wall surface and the top end surface. If the PFA film of the present invention is provided in a predetermined manner, the width of the gap can be made significantly smaller than that of a conventional one.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2012Publication date: June 12, 2014Applicant: TOHOKU UNIVERSITYInventors: Masamichi Iwaki, Tadahiro Ohmi, Kenji Ohyama, Isao Akutsu

Publication number: 20140127031Abstract: There is provided a screw rotor that can ensure safe rotation and can greatly increase a pumping performance of a pump. The screw rotor is placed with a gap between a top end surface of a tooth of a screw portion and an inner wall surface of a stator. A PFA film is provided on the top end surface. If the PFA film of the present invention is provided in a predetermined manner, the width of a gap between a free surface of the PFA film and the inner wall surface of the stator can be made significantly smaller than that of a conventional one, so that the pumping performance is greatly improved. After coating at least the top end surface of the screw rotor with PFA, followed by melting and remelting processes, the PFA film is formed to have a high smoothness on its free surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2012Publication date: May 8, 2014Applicant: TOHOKU UNIVERSITYInventors: Masamichi Iwaki, Tadahiro Ohmi, Kenji Ohyama, Isao Akutsu

Publication number: 20120273133Abstract: An object of this invention is to provide a surface protective film which is capable of suppressing the entry of a corrosive gas as compared with conventional surface protective films. A surface protective film according to this invention is a film which contains yttria (Y2O3) as a main component and also contains cerium. Since the surface protective film contains cerium, defects such as micropores in the film are reduced, thereby enabling suppression of the entry of a corrosive gas.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2010Publication date: November 1, 2012Inventors: Tadahiro Ohmi, Toshiya Umeki, Isao Akutsu
