Abstract: A one-time use cartridge for a CT or MRI syringe has a syringe body coupled to an adapter by flanges that are trapped by a locking tooth supported as part of a groove in a unitary adapter. One-time use is enhanced with one-way valves associated with the forward end of the syringe body. The one-way valves have coaxial inner and outer members with reversed roles for fluid inflow and outflow tubing connections. The valves operate under positive and negative pressure generated by the syringe piston.

Abstract: The invention is directed to the provision of an LED driving circuit that switches the connection of LED blocks with proper timing in accordance with the supply voltage and the Vf's specific to individual LEDs contained in each LED block.

Abstract: In displaying a price label, the price can be displayed at low resolution without any problem, but a bar code requires a high resolution display. In view of this, the invention provides an electrode structure for a display apparatus that can suppress increases in cost and power consumption while preventing image quality degradation, even when a low-resolution display area and a high-resolution display area are mixed on the same display. A liquid crystal panel 10 has a main display section 11 and a sub-display section 12. In the main display section 11, pixels are arranged in a matrix pattern. In the sub display section 12, rectangle-shaped pixels are arranged in a single row, and the pixel pitch in the sub display section 12 is m/n of that in the main display section 11 (n and m are integers).

Abstract: The texture of a starchy food (for example, biscuits, cookies, cakes, breads, cream puffs, coated and fried foods, snack foods, wheat noodles, Chinese noodles, etc.) is highly improved by using soybean protein in a smaller amount than in the conventional methods. The effect of improving the food texture somewhat varies depending on the water activity of a food. In the case of a food having a high to moderate water content, it is intended to achieve a soft texture, a favorable feeling on the tongue and a high meltability in the mouth. In the case of a food having a low water activity such as baked goods or toast, on the other hand, it is intended to achieve a crispy and light texture. In the case of wheat noodles and Chinese noodles, it is intended to achieve a flexible texture with an adequate elasticity.

Abstract: It is intended to provide a process for producing a soybean protein-containing wheat dough, i.e., a dough with the use of soybean protein which is scarcely affected by the strong moisture absorptivity of soybean, shows little change in dough hardness with the passage of time and has excellent workability. Namely, a process for producing wheat dough characterized by comprising adding soybean protein as a plastic mixture with a sugar having been preliminarily prepared. In the case where the plastic mixture comprises soybean protein with liquid sugar, the content of soybean protein in the plastic mixture is from 12 to 38% by weight in terms of solid soybean protein and the moisture activity of the liquid sugar to be employed in the plastic mixture is 0.95 or less. A process for producing a wheat product characterized by comprising heating the above wheat dough is also provided.

Abstract: A steering lock apparatus is composed of: a rotational member having an engagement member; an operating portion positioned on a front side of and connected to the rotational member; a holder for holding the rotational member rotatably in forward and backward directions, and for holding the same rotatably in a rear position; an actuator driven by a signal transmitted by a controller upon detection of the rotational member being operated toward a rear side; and a lock member that is operated by the actuator to be engaged with the engagement member of the rotational member in LOCK position for preventing rotation of the rotational member. The rotational member is held rotatably in a rear position and disabled from moving to a front position when the rotational member is operated to a rear position to release engagement between the engagement member of the rotational member and the lock member.
