Abstract: A noise generation cause identifying method and a noise generation cause identifying device are provided. A response correcting process corrects a sound signal obtained through a sound signal obtaining process based on obtained model information so that a frequency response of the obtained sound signal approaches a frequency response of a learning sound signal. A variable obtaining process obtains a variable output from a map by inputting the corrected sound signal to the map. A cause identifying process identifies a generation cause of a sound picked up by a microphone using the variable obtained through the variable obtaining process.

Abstract: A steering lock that is easy to assemble but difficult for an automobile thief to dismantle. The steering lock includes a cover on which a support structure for supporting a lock mechanism is integrally formed. The lock mechanism is attached to the cover to assemble a first subunit. A steering lock ECU is attached to an ECU case to assemble a second subunit. The first subunit is attached to the second subunit to assemble a lock unit. The lock unit is attached to the housing. A bolt fastens the lock unit and the housing to each other. A second connector is then attached to the housing.

Abstract: A minute quantity medicine administration set including an injection needle having a cannula and a needle hub; a minute quantity administration device equipped with an injection needle connector having a connection part for connecting with the needle hub, a tube member connected to the injection needle connector, and a piercing needle connector having a tube member connection part for connecting with the tube member at its front end and having a hollow piercing needle connection part for connecting with a piercing needle of a transfer needle at its base end; the transfer needle in which the hollow piercing needle and a syringe connection part are provided respectively on opposite sides of a disc-like hub on the same axis, a cylindrical vial mounting part extending concentrically with the piercing needle provided at an outer edge of the disc-like hub beyond a front end of the piercing needle, the piercing needle communicating with the syringe connection part; and a syringe equipped with a connection part for c

Abstract: A steering lock device including a sleeve assembly, a rear shaft rotated when a steering wheel is operated, and a lock bar for locking the steering shaft when engaged with a seat member fixed to the rear shaft. A sleeve assembly including an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve is shortened when the outer sleeve moves along the inner sleeve. The distal portion of the lock bar includes a slope that is abut against an open end of the inner sleeve. When the open end pushes the slope, the lock bar smoothly moves away from the steering shaft.

Abstract: A needle for medical use, which is free from breakage of a cannula even if subjected to reapeated bending operations or puncture into the root of teeth in use. The needle is charactrized in that a cannula (2) is fixed to a hub (1) by charging a bonding adhesive in an adhesive-filling portion (11) provided in a distal end of the hub (1) so that a root (21) of the cannula (2) is located below the distal end (121) of the hub (1). The distal end of the hub (1) may be formed into a configuration provided with an annular rib (12) extending axially and surrounding the adhesive-filling portion (11).

Abstract: A fluid vessel which include a drug storing chamber, a capping member for hermetically sealing the mouth portion of the drug storing chamber, and a solvent chamber joined to the bottom of the drug storing chamber, wherein the drug storing chamber is provided with a communication hole at the bottom thereof for communicating with the solvent chamber and includes a protruding piece which hermetically seals the communication hole, protrudes into the drug storing chamber, and is movable so as to open the communication hole, while the capping member has an engaging portion to be engaged with the tip of the protruding piece whereby the protruding piece is moved to open the communication hole by rotation of the capping member. This vessel serves to simplify the manufacturing process and reduces the number of components, is readily disposed of, facilitates mixing the drug with the solvent, and is easy to store and handle in hospitals and other facilities.

Abstract: A prefilled syringe comprises a barrel having at a distal end a needle-connecting portion and at the proximal end an open end, a plastic tubular container having a mouth and a flexible hollow cylindrical body and containing a liquid medicament previously charged therein, and a plunger inserted into the barrel through the open end thereof and slidably held therein. The tubular container is held in the barrel so that the mouth thereof is placed in a lumen of the needle-connecting portion of the barrel. The cylindrical body is peeled off from the inner wall of the barrel and squeezed into a space between the barrel and the plunger when the plunger is pushed into the barrel.

Abstract: A prefilled syringe comprises a barrel (1) having at a distal end a needle-connecting portion (11) and at the proximal end an open end; a plastic tubular container (3) having a mouth (31) and a flexible hollow cylindrical body (32) and containing a liquid medicament (S) previously charged therein, and a plunger (2) inserted into the barrel (1) through the open end thereof and slidably held therein.

Abstract: A baby walker comprises a travelable frame, a table positioned above the frame for supporting the trunk of an infant, and a plurality of support legs interconnecting and supporting the frame and the table. Each of the support legs is divided into an upper leg portion and a lower leg portion connected together by a joint so as to be foldable into the space between the table and the frame. The joint has a bearing portion and a pair of restraining walls formed on the opposite sides of the bearing portion and bent inward as opposed to each other. One of the leg portions of the support leg has a pair of support portions and pivot portions inwardly projecting from the support portions respectively, the support portions being movable toward and away from each other and biased at all times outward away from each other. The pivot portions are turnably supported by the bearing portion of the joint.

Abstract: The ends of a stem on which a number of beads are rotatably and slidably mounted are supported by support members provided on a baby walker. The support members are each formed with a support hole having a small diameter portion and a large diameter portion which differ in inner diameter. After the ends of the stem are inserted from the small diameter portion side, a bulge is formed on each end of the stem. Thus, the stem is fitted in the small diameter portions and the bulges are grasped by the large diameter portions, so that there is no possibility of the stem slipping off the support holes. Further, there is no possibility of the bulges on the stem being exposed outside the support members.
