Abstract: To provide a medication storage cell that can be easily opened by a person who cannot dexterously move his or her fingertips. A small-medication storage cell (12) is provided with an accommodating section (20) and an interlocking piece (22). The accommodating section (20) has an outlet for a medication (100). The outlet (30) is formed using a sheet (60) provided with an interlocking piece, and a cover sheet (62). The interlocking piece (22) has a base section (40) and a tip end section (42). At least a part of the base section (40) is separated from the surface of the accommodating section (20). The tip end section (42) is fastened to the accommodating section (20) in a bent state so that the cover sheet (62) and the sheet (60) provided with an interlocking piece close the outlet (30).

Abstract: A divided packet (10) has a packaging body (2), a drug (3), and a divided bag (4). The packaging body (2) seals in a swallowing aid substance (1). The drug (3) is disposed on the exterior of the packaging body (2). The divided bag (4) seals in the drug (3) and the packaging body (2) in which the swallowing aid substance (1) is sealed. The packaging body (2) and the drug (3) are sealed in the divided bag (4). Due to this configuration, using a simple method it is possible to provide the divided packet (10) with which the swallowing of the drug (3) can be aided.

Abstract: In order to reduce the labor associated with the administration of a medication or the like to a patient via a tube, while ensuring that the medication can be administered with at least the same degree of safety and accuracy as in the past, a container for administering a medication is provided with a storage section and a discharge section. The storage section has an inlet. The container for administering a medication is further provided with a sealing part. The sealing part seals the boundary section between the storage section and the discharge section, and opens the boundary section when the storage part is subjected to a force of a prescribed magnitude or greater while a mixture is stored therein. The discharge section can be connected to a tube. In addition to the inlet, the storage section is also provided with an inlet opening/closing part.

Abstract: An electric energy conversion/storage system includes an ozone generating means (12) for producing an ozonized gas from a raw material gas containing oxygen by utilizing electric energy, an ozone adsorbing/desorbing means (15) for adsorbing ozone contained in the ozonized gas and desorbing ozone from the adsorbed state, a gas circulation system for causing the raw material gas and the ozonized gas to flow through the ozone generating means (12) and the ozone absorbing/desorbing means (15) while feeding back to the ozone generating means (12) a residual part of the oxygen gas remaining after adsorption of ozone, a coolant supply means (16) for cooling the ozone adsorbing/desorbing means (15), and an ozone discharging means (29, 30) for taking out an ozone containing gas which contains ozone molecules from the ozone adsorbing/desorbing means (15) to thereby supply the ozone containing gas to an ozone consumer (23).

Abstract: The present invention provides a video projector equipped with a projection lens system having only one optical axis for projecting a plurality color images displayed on a plurality of CRTs. The color images displayed on the CRTs 2R, 2B and 2G are respectively focused onto a writing side of respective spatial light modulators 4R, 4G and 4B through a plurality of writing lens 3R, 3G and 3B. On the other hand, a light from a reading light source 5 is divided into 3-color lights of R, G and B by a cross-type 3-color separation member 25. The three color lights are respectively inputted into a reading side of the respective spatial light modulators through a plurality of polarization beam splitter blocks 26R, 26G and 26B each having a pair of dielectric multiple layers 26a, 26b disposed parallel to each other.

Abstract: A frequency characteristic of a surface acoustic wave filter having at least a first transducer and a second transducer is determined by a product of a frequency amplitude characteristic of the first transducer and that of the second transducer so that the electrodes of the both transducers are formed in such a way that third harmonics band in the frequency characteristic of the first transducer is shifted out that of the second transducer in order to prevent third harmonics.

Abstract: A transducer feeding mechanism is used for an apparatus for recording and reproducing a signal on and from a rotary recording medium by means of a transducer fed over the recording medium in the radial direction thereof.

Abstract: A series of film-containing cassettes are placed in projecting positions and thereafter in rewinding positions. First and second take-up reels are arranged to be axially movable between first and second positions. An elongate film guide member is movable between an active position in which the guide defines a straight threading path between the cassette occupying the projecting position and the take-up reel occupying the first position and a normally inactive position in which the guide is clear of the threading path. In the film threading mode, the leading end of film is driven through the straight threading path and taken up by the take-up reel. A film handling mechanism is provided between the opposite ends of the threading path. Upon completion of film threading, the movable elongate guide is restored to the inactive position and the film handling mechanism is brought into operation to engage the film with an aperture plate.
