Patent number: 10357618Abstract: A injection-needle cover includes an injection needle enclosure portion, which has paired base-side wall portions, a cylinder portion, paired tip-end-side wall portions, an injection needle contact portion, a hook portion, and a needle tip end fixing portion. The injection needle contact portion is disposed at a position in a base-side axial space, which is a boundary between the base-side axial space and an intra-cylinder space. The injection needle contact portion has a force receiving portion and a connecting portion. The force receiving portion receives a force from the injection needle when the force receiving portion comes in contact with the injection needle. The force receiving portion has an easy sliding portion, which is disposed in an area adjacent to an injection needle, and slides more easily along the injection needle than a case where an edge slides along the injection needle.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2015Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignees: TAKEDA PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY LIMITED, YOSHINO KOGYOSHO CO., LTD., ARTE CORPORATIONInventors: Kiyoshi Okajima, Yuki Imanishi, Naoki Asakawa, Nobuo Tanaka, Yusuke Chuma

Patent number: 8089321Abstract: Four stochastic resonators 20-1 to 20-4 outputting a pulse signal in accordance with a stochastic resonance phenomenon are unidirectionally coupled in a ring-like form to constitute a fluctuation oscillator 10. When a signal output from each of the stochastic resonators 20-1 to 20-4 is successively transmitted in the stochastic resonators 20-1 to 20-4 coupled in a ring-like form, the output timings at each stochastic resonator 20 are synchronized with each other due to a cooperation phenomenon between the stochastic resonators 20-1 to 20-4, so that each stochastic resonator 20 is self-excited to oscillate at a constant period of time.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2008Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Osaka UniversityInventors: Yasushi Hotta, Teruo Kanki, Naoki Asakawa, Toshio Kawahara, Tomoji Kawai, Hitoshi Tabata
