Abstract: The purpose is to smooth a surface of a molten portion, to suppress formation of a sharp edge and an undercut at an end of the molten portion and in the vicinity of the end. A laser welding method includes emitting a laser beam onto a surface of a stack of a plurality of workpieces, and moving the laser beam in a predetermined traveling direction, thereby welding the plurality of workpieces to each other. The laser beam includes a main beam, a sub beam, a rear beam, and an end beam. The main beam is emitted onto a main region. The sub beam is emitted onto a sub region surrounding the main region. The rear beam is emitted onto a rear region located rearward of the main region. The end beam is emitted onto an end region located rearward of the rear region and outside of the sub region.

Abstract: An infusion set employing a spike cap, arranged at which there is an opening configured to prevent passage therethrough of solid or liquid but to allow passage therethrough of gas at interior of the cap, hydrophobic filter being arranged at a location inward from where a tip of spike is inserted at interior of the cap by way of an insertion port, and a lid exterior of the opening for closing the opening; and in which there are hook(s) for anchoring to infusion tubing and a clip equipped with a catch for a flange arranged at the spike. Employing the cap at the infusion set makes it possible to carry out preprocessing including priming and backpriming by a simple operation without leakage of liquid.

Abstract: In the context of a package for sealing an infusion set therewithin, the present invention causes a plurality of illustrations in which elements and colors thereof which appear in a story, verse, or lyric of a song or nursery rhyme are depicted in images in order of appearance therein, the respective images being displayed on a surface of the package in order from frontmost to backmost in mutually offset and partially overlapping fashion, such that it is possible to extremely naturally and without difficulty grasp the colors and the order thereof, i.e., the order of administration, as a result of which it is possible to effectively prevent misidentification of administration procedure during use of the infusion set.

Abstract: In an infusion set, a spike or a connector for connection with an intravenous drip needle is covered by a cap, arranged at which there is an opening configured so as to not allow passage therethrough of solid or liquid but so as to allow passage therethrough of gas at the interior of the cap, a hydrophobic filter being arranged at a location inward from where the tip of the spike or the connector for connection with an intravenous drip needle is inserted at the interior of the cap by way of an insertion port, and a lid at the exterior of said opening for closing said opening. A three-way stopcock having a primary tubing downstream branch connector equipped with a mechanism that connects in such fashion as to permit rotation about primary tubing as axis is provided.

Abstract: An infusion set comprising first member(s) constituting primary tubing and second member(s) constituting instant tubing covered by a cap, arranged at an opening configured so as not to allow passage of solid or liquid but so as to allow passage of gas at the interior of the cap, a hydrophobic filter being arranged at a location inward from where the tip of a connector for connection with a three-way stopcock or an intravenous drip needle is inserted at the interior of the cap by way of an insertion port, and a lid at the exterior of said opening for closing said opening. The infusion set makes it possible to carry out priming by means of a simple operation without leakage of liquid; and operations become improved due to the fact that first member(s) and second member(s) can be connected as desired by three-way stopcock(s) 5.

Abstract: The drug delivery device (1) connects an syringe barrel (6) and a drug container (2) by means of a closed system, and delivers a drug between the syringe barrel and drug container through said closed system. This drug delivery device includes a first member (8) connected to the drug container (2) on the side of a stopper (4), and a second member (30) connected at one end to the first member and connected at the other end to the syringe barrel (6). The first member and the second member are connected by a fitting mechanism. A second hollow needle member (34) provided on the second member faces towards the first member, and the tip portion (36) and the base portion (38) are fixed. The first member has a first hollow needle member (12). The first member and the second member each have an elastic member (18 and 40).

Abstract: This drug delivery device delivers a drug between a syringe barrel and a drug container, and, by enveloping the entire the drug container used in drug delivery, prevents exposure to hazardous drugs adhering to the drug container. This drug delivery device includes: a first member connected to the drug container on the side of a stopper; a second member connected to the first member and to the syringe barrel; and a third member connected to the first member and covering the drug container in a sealed state. The first member has a first hollow needle member and a drug container holder, and the second member has a second hollow needle member. The third member has an opening portion, a bottom surface portion where the drug container is stably mounted, and a flexible member which is connected to the opening portion and the bottom surface portion.

Abstract: A knock detection device that can not only detect knock accurately, but can also detect heavy knock quickly. Cylinder pressure is detected by a pressure sensor installed in each cylinder in an internal combustion engine. AS the occurrence or non-occurrence of heavy knock is determined based on the ratio between the maximum value of cylinder pressure fluctuation and the maximum value of cylinder pressure divided by a prescribed value, it becomes possible to detect the occurrence of heavy knock quickly. If it is determined that heavy knock has occurred, a knock suppression measure involving, for example, reducing the spark advance angle, is immediately applied, thus preventing damage to the internal combustion engine.
