Abstract: An organ preservation container includes a container body, joints, and tubes. The container body includes a bottom plate and a side wall. The side wall has through holes. Each joint has a through hole. The tubes are connected to the joints from the inner side of the container body. Thus, the tubes are arranged in advance in the container body in an organ transplant operation. This enables a small number of people to speedily conduct the work of placing an organ removed from the donor in the container body and connecting the tubes to blood vessels in the organ.

Abstract: In an electric motor-driven booster, a sharp change of reaction force to an operation of a brake pedal is reduced to improve the brake pedal operation feeling. Operation of the brake pedal causes an input rod (34) and an input piston (32) to advance, and an electric motor (40) is driven according to the movement of the input piston to propel a primary piston (10) through a ball-screw mechanism, thereby generating a desired brake hydraulic pressure in a master cylinder. At this time, the input piston receives the hydraulic pressure in the master cylinder to feed back a part of reaction force during braking to the brake pedal. When the brake pedal is further depressed after the output of the electric motor has reached a maximum output and the primary piston 10 has stopped, a lock nut abuts against a movable spring retainer and compresses a reaction force spring.

Abstract: A vehicular display apparatus having a light transmitting display section activated by means of a high-luminance light source, and a high-luminance, self-glowing light emitting display section. The apparatus selectively operates one of these display sections which is selected by a selector switch, so that the selected display section can be visually perceived from the driver's seat side through a meter glass which has a low light transmittance characteristic, thereby making it possible to select a display form which can be observed by the driver with a high degree of contrast between the display section and the background, and which is suited to his preference.

Abstract: A material transfer apparatus of hollow fiber type is provided comprising tubular housing, a bundle of a plurality of hollow fiber membranes axially extending through the housing, a first fluid chamber defined by the outer surface of the hollow fibers and the inner surface of the housing, a first fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet both in fluid communication with the first chamber for passing a dialysate into and out of the first chamber, partitions supporting the opposite ends of the hollow fibers and isolating the fiber end from the first chamber, and a second fluid inlet and a second fluid outlet both in fluid communication with the interior space of the hollow fibers for passing a blood into and out of the fiber interior space. Flowpath forming members each having an elastomeric annular member integrally molded thereto are mounted on opposite ends of the housing.
