  • Publication number: 20240092240
    Abstract: It has at least one fixing plate arranged on the seat back and at least one support member arranged on the fixing plate, and the support member can be arranged at an arbitrary angle at an arbitrary position on the front surface of the fixing plate. Therefore, the position of the support member can be adjusted not only in the vertical direction but also in the horizontal direction with respect to the seat back, but also in the angle. Therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in the position and the angle of the support member as compared with the related art.

  • Patent number: 11607473
    Abstract: A solubilized notochordal cell matrix powder dissolved in a carrier solvent or formed as a gel is provided. The notochordal cell matrix powder originates from lyophilized and treated porcine nucleus pulposus tissue containing notochordal cells. The powder contains less than 20% of porcine nucleid acids, and the powder contains a substantially unchanged amount of porcine protein content compared to the originating porcine nucleus pulposus tissue. The solubilized notochordal cell matrix powder is capable of stimulating native or stem cells to proliferate and produce a significant increase inglycosaminoglycansand type-II collagen matrix. Embodiments of the invention can be used for the disc regenerative treatment of discogenic back and neck pain in an orthopaedic and/or pharmaceutical setting/approach.

  • Patent number: 10765521
    Abstract: An artificial cartilage is provided whereby a fixed negative charged hydrogel has been infused within a restrictive swelling network, which limits and restricts the thickness of the artificial cartilage. At least 60% of the volume of the artificial cartilage is composed of the restricted and swollen hydrogel. The restrictive swelling network restricts the hydrogel to swell not more than 10% with respect to its maximum swelling capacity, i.e. a swelling capacity to swell 10-fold more is retained. The hydrogel within the restrictive swelling network has an equilibrium stiffness between 0.5 and 2 MPa to resist external loads applied to the top surface layer or the bottom surface layer of the artificial cartilage. The hydrogel has a fixed negative charge density of ?0.17 to ?0.23 mEg/ml and is capable of swelling between 2-15 times compared to the volume of the hydrogel without being restricted.

  • Patent number: 10665050
    Abstract: When a banknote cassette is taken out from a change machine installed in a store A in which a money handling apparatus is installed and is mounted to the money handling apparatus, the money handling apparatus specifies a store, stores banknotes, calculates a fee, and updates the proceeds from sales and the fee. In this case, since the store A in which the money handling apparatus is installed is specified, the fee is “0”, and the proceeds from sales of the store A is updated. Meanwhile, when a banknote cassette is taken out from a change machine installed in another store B, a fee to be paid by the store B is calculated, and the proceeds from sales and the fee of the store B are updated.
