Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a bronchoscope facilitating observation of a peripheral bronchus, and a method of using the same. The bronchoscope includes: a sheath having a longitudinal axis direction, the sheath having a first lumen and a second lumen each extending in the longitudinal axis direction; an endoscopic camera disposed in the first lumen; and a balloon catheter including a shaft inserted to the second lumen to be shiftable in the longitudinal axis direction and a balloon provided at a distal portion of the shaft, wherein the balloon has a pressurization lumen to be provided with fluid to receive positive pressure, and the second lumen is configured to receive negative pressure to cause a distal end of the sheath to stick to an inner wall of a bronchus.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a medical instrument set facilitating safe observation of a peripheral bronchus portion, and a method of using the same. The medical instrument set includes a bronchoscope including a sheath having a longitudinal axis direction, the sheath having a first lumen and a second lumen each extending in the longitudinal axis direction, an endoscopic camera disposed in the first lumen, and a balloon catheter including a shaft inserted to the second lumen to be shiftable in the longitudinal axis direction and a balloon provided at a distal portion of the shaft; and a probe having a distal end positioned distally beyond a distal end of the balloon, the probe configured to detect a peripheral bronchus portion.

Abstract: Provided is a new method that effectively reduces odor components that are present in a hydrogenated petroleum resin, and adjusts a softening point to an appropriate range for exhibiting an adhesive performance. A method for deodorizing a hydrogenated petroleum resin, includes stripping a hydrogenated petroleum resin at a gas flow rate of 1 to 45 VVM.

Abstract: A jammer system includes a jammer unit, a valve coupled to the jammer unit, and a sensor coupled to the valve. The jammer unit includes a jammer media and a membrane including an inlet. The membrane is configured to surround the jammer media. The valve is configured to allow a fluid to pass through the inlet of the membrane. The sensor is configured to cause actuation of the valve to evacuate the fluid from an interior of the membrane. The evacuation of the fluid from the interior of the membrane results in stiffening of the jammer media within the membrane.

Abstract: To provide a novel production method for a hydrogenated petroleum resin that does not cause filter clogging and is also capable of suppressing a significant decrease in catalytic activity in hydrogenation in a production method for a dicyclopentadiene/vinyl aromatic compound-based hydrogenated resin to be used as a tackifier. A production method for a dicyclopentadiene/vinyl aromatic compound-based hydrogenated petroleum resin, in which a reaction product obtained by reacting a dicyclopentadiene with a vinyl aromatic compound is subjected to thermal polymerization, thereby obtaining a thermal polymerization reaction product, followed by hydrogenation thereof, characterized in that as the thermal polymerization reaction product, an oligomer-removed thermal polymerization reaction product obtained by removing a dicyclopentadiene oligomer from the thermal polymerization reaction product is used as a hydrogenation raw material.

Abstract: An improved dispenser unit for dispensing bulk food items, including a cabinet having at least one hopper having a drum with product compartments, a deflector and flexible gate valve, a dispense assembly, and a control system. The dispense assembly may or may not include one or more belts and/or sensors. The product compartments include flexible and/or elastic membranes, which dynamically change the effective product storage volume within a compartment, and eliminate rigid or semi-rigid pinch points between the drum and drum compartment. A product flow divider may be positioned above the receiving container in the dispense assembly, said divider configured to cause the dispensed product to divide into two or more flow streams into the receiving container. The receiving container may be vibrated or oscillated.
