  • Publication number: 20240065665
    Abstract: An auscultatory sound analysis system that makes it possible to chronologically understand qualitative changes in an auscultatory sound from an auscultation device that contributes to telemedicine avoiding medical practice involving users' close contact, in medical care having a possibility of a contact infection such as COVID-19. The auscultatory sound analysis system converts the auscultatory sound into digital data, further performing a spectrogram conversion, and chronologically outputting, along a time axis, strengths of a signal component at a specific frequency or in a specific frequency range. The system thereby makes it possible to output, to transfer data of, and to display quantitative and temporal changes in high-pitch crepitations caused by interstitial pneumonia from COVID-19 and to thus understand a development status of the disease.

  • Patent number: 11813375
    Abstract: A novel therapeutic agent for solid cancer capable of hardening the cellular tissue itself of a solid cancer to induce death or growth inhibition of cancer cells, causing solidification of the tissue, is disclosed. The therapeutic agent for solid cancer is composed of a liquid composition containing as an active component an ethoxy-containing compound capable of undergoing polycondensation in a cellular tissue. The therapeutic agent for solid cancer is capable of hardening the cellular tissue itself of a solid cancer such as lung cancer to induce death or growth inhibition of cancer cells, causing solidification of the tissue. In conventional therapeutic methods, the risk of metastasis due to spreading of cancer cells through the bloodstream cannot be eliminated. In contrast, this therapeutic agent for solid cancer instantly surrounds cancer cells, so that the risk of metastasis can be largely reduced.

  • Patent number: 11302931
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a separator assembly for fuel cell includes a separator assembly forming step in which a separator assembly including a first metal separator and a second metal separator each having a protruding bead portion is formed by joining together the surfaces of the first and second metal separators opposite from their respective bead portions protruding, and a preload applying step in which a pair of platens apply a preload in a thickness direction of the separator assembly to a bead seal section formed of one pair of the bead portions, and thereby the bead seal section is plastically deformed. In the preload applying step, the preload applied to a linear portion of the bead seal section is set to be smaller than the preload applied to a curve portion of the bead seal section.

  • Patent number: 9673027
    Abstract: A test apparatus for efficiently and accurately testing a high frequency voltage dependency of an impedance of a test object without damaging the test object. The test apparatus includes a high frequency power source unit, a reference waveform generator, a matching device, an oscilloscope, a control panel, and a main control unit. The test apparatus may boost a high frequency pulse output at a relatively low power from the high frequency power source unit to a voltage required for a high frequency withstand voltage test to be applied to a test object in a state where impedance matching is performed between the high frequency power source unit and the test by the matching device, that is, under a tuned state. Whether the waveform of the voltage applied to the test object is a defined waveform may be concisely monitored and observed by the oscilloscope.
