  • Publication number: 20240123229
    Abstract: Provided is an electrostimulation device that outputs an electrical signal, the electrical signal obtained by repeatedly outputting a fifth electrical signal comprising a first electrical signal whose amplitude in a first time becomes larger from a first amplitude, a second electrical signal whose amplitude in a second time is maintained to a second amplitude, a third electrical signal whose amplitude in a third time becomes smaller to a third amplitude, and a fourth electrical signal whose amplitude in a fourth time is maintained to a fourth amplitude; and the first electrical signal output in a sixth time, that is obtained by repeatedly outputting an eighth electrical signal comprising a sixth electrical signal having a first frequency, the sixth electrical signal that is off in a seventh time, wherein the first frequency is controlled via first frequency control of changing from a second frequency to a third frequency.

  • Patent number: 8429973
    Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer is provided with a distance measuring ultrasonic sensor for detecting a distance between the ultrasonic transducer and a surface of an inspection object and an inclination of the ultrasonic transducer with respect to the surface of the inspection object, to control the distance and the inclination of the ultrasonic transducer with respect to the inspection object based on information detected by the distance measuring ultrasonic sensor, and at least part of ultrasonic wave transmission/reception by the distance measuring ultrasonic sensor is performed during execution of aperture synthesis processing during which transmission/reception by the ultrasonic transducer is not performed.

  • Patent number: 8036831
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to serve ligand screening apparatuses, ligand screening methods, programs and a recording medium for studying the binding analysis between a receptor including an induced-fit type receptor and a ligand. First, analysis and calculation of normal mode are conducted, and then fluctuation of a dihedral angle of a main chain in a steady state is calculated. Then by carrying out a molecular dynamic calculation while imposing constraint on each atom based on the fluctuation, a dynamic structure of the receptor is predicted more accurately. By using the dynamic structure obtained in the molecular dynamic calculation and an interaction function, receptor/ligand binding which is also applicable to an induced-fit type receptor is predicted with high accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20060000287
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing hydrogen is able to measure a position of a interface or a surface boundary of liquids in a reaction vessel without direct contact. An apparatus for producing hydrogen by an IS process includes a reaction vessel, a first ultrasonic probe and a second ultrasonic probe. Reacting liquids are introduced to the reaction vessel. The first ultrasonic probe is provided at the bottom of the reaction vessel to detect a position of a boundary surface of the reacting liquids. The second ultrasonic probe is provided at the side wall of the reaction vessel to compensate the sound velocity.

  • Patent number: 5770128
    Abstract: Insert-parts are set onto a lower die (10), and resin tablets are supplied into pots (10a) for resin mold. A press mechanism A molds the insert-parts, a mold is opened, then the lower die (10) is slid to a first position, which is located side of a molding position. At the first position, an unloading mechanism (C) and a parts-loading mechanism (D) execute to clean parting faces of the mold, and to set resin tablets and insert-parts. The lower die (10) returns to the molding position for next molding. By sliding the lower die (10), works of taking out molded products, setting insert-parts, etc. can be easier, and the molding cycle time can be shortened.
