Abstract: Technologies are generally described for an apparatus configured to process a volume of a fluid and provide an electrolyzed fluid. Example apparatuses described herein may include a base cell, electrodes and/or a variable expansion cell. The base cell may be configured to contain at least a portion of the volume of the fluid. Electrodes may include an anode and a cathode. The electrodes may be configured to be mounted within the base cell. The variable expansion cell may be coupled to the base cell, and adjustably configured to change a volumetric space of the apparatus to accommodate the volume of the fluid such that the electrodes are substantially immersed in the fluid.

Abstract: An electrolyzer device comprises a container configured to receive liquid to be electrolyzed; a separator arranged in the container so as to define a first chamber and a second chamber positioned lower in a vertical direction than the first chamber; a cathode arranged in the first chamber and operatively connected to a power supply; and an anode arranged in the second chamber and operatively connected to the power supply.

Abstract: An electrolyzer device comprises a container configured to receive liquid to be electrolyzed; an anode arranged in the container and operatively connected to a power supply; a cathode arranged in the container so as to surround at least a portion of the anode and operatively connected to the power supply; a first pipe in liquid connection with the container, the first pipe including an intake port arranged in the vicinity of the cathode relative to the anode; and a second pipe in liquid connection with the container.

Abstract: An electrolyzed water production apparatus and method safely and simply produce electrolyzed water having a sterilizing action, having a physiologically neutral pH value, and, in addition, simultaneously with strong acidic electrolyzed water and strong alkaline electrolyzed water depending upon the structure. The electrolyzed water production apparatus has an electrolyzer tank with an end that receives or stores raw water, and a power supply. The interior portion of the electrolyzer tank is partitioned by a plurality of diaphragms into a plurality of regions. An anode and a cathode (constituting an electrode pair) are positioned on either side of the diaphragm. In a certain region of the electrolyzer tank, an anode and a cathode are arranged so as to face each other without a diaphragm sandwiched between them. When raw water for electrolysis is electrolyzed, electrolyzed water having a desired pH of a neutral range is produced during electrolysis.

Abstract: The present invention has as its object to provide a band-seal to manufacture a leak-tight, stable hard capsule preparation not being susceptible to deformation after having filled pharmaceuticals, foods, healthy foods, etc. in a hard capsule comprising a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer or pullulan as a base, and in more particular, relates to a band-seal intended for use in the hard capsule comprising a polyvinyl alcohol copolymer or pullulan as a base, characterized in that the band-seal is incorporated with at least one or not less than two of the below-described (a) to (c): (a) A polyvinylpyrrolidone with a molecular weight of 100,000 to 4,000,000, (b) A polyvinylpyrrolidone with a molecular weight of 10,000 to 80,000 in the proportion of not more than 90% by weight against the total weight of the band-seal; and (c) A copolymer from 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate.

Abstract: A hard capsule comprising a water-soluble cellulose derivative as a base material, characterized in that the water-soluble cellulose derivative is formulated with one or two or more compound(s) selected from polyvinylpyrrolidones, copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone with vinyl acetate, and polyethylene glycols having a weight-average molecular weight of 400 to 100,000. The hard capsule is easy to detach the cap part from the body part and facilitates the contents to be filled therein.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing hard capsules is characterized by comprising the steps of dispersing a water-soluble cellulose derivative in hot water and cooling the dispersion to effect dissolution of the water-soluble cellulose derivative in the water, adding and dissolving a gelling agent in the water-soluble cellulose derivative solution to give a capsule-preparing solution, dipping a capsule-forming pin into the capsule-preparing solution at a predetermined temperature, then drawing out the pin and inducing gelation of the capsule-preparing solution adhering to the pin.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical formulation to be administered by a medicament administration device, which can maintain high stability of a biological active substance, is provided. In preparing the pharmaceutical formulation to be administered via mucous membrane, particularly a pharmaceutical formulation to be inhaled by utilizing a jet nebulizer, an ultrasonic nebulizer, a metered dose inhaler, or a dry powder inhaler, the adoption of the step of contacting the biological active substance with liposomes or microspheres in an aqueous medium enables the substance to be highly stabilized.

Abstract: A favorable sustained-releasing property is given to granular preparations by incorporating therein at least one C.sub.16 -C.sub.18 saturated fatty acid and/or metal salts thereof at a rate of 10-50% of the total weight of the dosage form. The disclosed dosage form releases the active ingredient both in a low pH region of the stomach and in a high pH region of the intestine at an appropriate rate.
