Abstract: An additional data generation system is provided which can produce an output based on additional data to impart an information conveying effect to an output based on output data. The additional data generation system includes a source unit 1 configured to supply an output signal, an operation control unit 4 configured to obtain output data from the output signal, a first output unit 5 configured to produce an output based on the output data, an additional data generator 3 configured to generate additional data which emphasizes a feature of the output from the first output unit, a second output unit 6 configured to produce an output based on the additional data, and an operation unit 2 configured to output, to the operation control unit, an operation signal which is used to change the output data.

Abstract: This invention regarding the medical measurement apparatus includes an apparatus body capable of being held with a thumb and at least one of the subject testing-fingers, that is, the forefinger, the middle finger, the third finger, the fourth finger; a sensor slot bearing within a sensor in which the sensor slot is open at the side of the apparatus body capable of inserting the testing finger; a switch of the sensor in which the switch is controlled by the thumb and disposed at a prescribed position of the apparatus body; and a display device for indicating the result measured by the sensor in which the display device is arranged at the front surface of the apparatus body.

Abstract: A disk substrate for use in manufacturing a recording disk therefrom has an outer non-recording area, recording area, inner non-recording area and a central opening. The inner non-recording area includes a small thickness region having a thickness 70 to 90% of the thickness of the recording area and occupying an area 3 to 30% of the entire disk area including the central opening. The outer non-recording area has a large thickness region having a thickness larger than the thickness of the recording area. The disk substrate is free from warp and improves optical characteristics of the resultant disk.

Abstract: A bone-forming graft that includes a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) carried on a composite porous body. The composite porous body has a porous frame of a bioabsorbable hydrophilic material and a surface layer of a bioabsorbable polymer material. In particular, the present invention relates to a bone-forming graft in which the bioabsorbable hydrophilic material is one or more compounds selected from a group consisting of gelatin, hyaluronic acid, a hyaluronic acid derivative, collagen, a collagen derivative, chitosan, a chitosan derivative, and triethanolamine alginate. The bioabsorbable polymeric material is one or more compounds selected from a group consisting of a polylactic acid, a copolymer of a polylactic acid and a polyglycolic acid, and a copolymer of poly?bis(p-carboxyphenoxy)propane!anhydride and sebacic acid. The graft has excellent formability and workability and has an internal structure suitable for in vivo bone formation.

Abstract: An injectable composition of nicardipine hydrochloride comprising an aqueous nicardipine hydrochloride solution containing 2-7 w/v % of polyhydric alcohol. This injectable composition can maintain its desired concentration and can be stably stored for a long period of time.
