Abstract: Disclosed, is a composition for reducing the levels or level of glucose, malondialdehyde-modified LDL, homocysteine, and/or C-reactive protein in the blood. Specifically disclosed is a composition for reducing the level of at least one substance selected from the group consisting of glucose, malondialdehyde-modified LDL, homocysteine, and C-reactive protein in the blood, which comprises the following components (a) and (b): (a) at least one component selected from the group consisting of vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and folic acid; and (b) at least one component selected from the group consisting of zinc, selenium, and an antioxidant vitamin.

Abstract: A fixing member is fixed to a beverage pack in a state in which a through-hole and an opening are aligned. Next, the pointed end of an adapter body is inserted into the opening through the through-hole. This causes the pointed end to puncture a film and pass through the opening, but a flange serves as a stopper so that just the pointed end is inserted into the beverage pack. At this point the surrounding area is kept liquid-tight by a seal, and the adapter body is prevented from falling out by ridges provided to this. One end of a tube is connected to a joint of the adapter body. A catheter is connected to the other end of this tube, allowing a nutritional beverage contained in the beverage pack to be discharged directly from the catheter.

Abstract: A rotary compressor having a piston provided integrally with a blade is contained in a hermetic vessel which is operated at a suction pressure of the rotary compressor and not to discharge pressure. The rotary compressor includes a compression mechanism portion having a cylinder which includes a suction port formed in a cylinder chamber, a piston which eccentrically revolves in the cylinder, a blade which is integrally formed with the piston and partitions the cylinder chamber into a high pressure chamber and a low pressure chamber, and a driving shaft for revolving the piston.

Abstract: A scroll compressor comprising a fixed scroll, a rotating scroll, a compliant frame for supporting the rotating scroll in an axial direction and a main shaft for driving the rotating scroll in directions of radiuses of the rotating scroll, and a guide frame fixed to a hermetically sealed vessel for supporting the compliant frame in the directions of its radiuses, wherein the rotating scroll is slidable in the axial direction by sliding of the compliant frame on the guide frame; a space is formed between the compliant frame and the guide frame; and a pressure in the space is made to be a pressure higher than a suction pressure and the same as a discharge pressure or less, whereby relief of the rotating scroll is avoidable to quickly and constantly realize a state of normal operation.

Abstract: In a refrigerating cycle using a refrigerant containing hydrofluorocarbon as a main component, of a refrigerant pipe arrangement constituting the refrigerating cycle, a refrigerant pipe extending upward from a lower side to an upper side is made to have an inner diameter not larger than a value which makes the flow rate of the refrigerant be not smaller than a zero penetration flow rate. It is possible to obtain a refrigerating cycle superior in oil returning to a compressor and hence high in reliability, even in the case of using refrigerator oil having no compatibility with a refrigerant containing hydrofluorocarbon as a main component.

Abstract: An enclosed motor compressor of a two cylinder type in which a clearance between the eccentric portion of the second rotary shaft and the second sub bearing is set greater than a clearance between the eccentric portion of the first rotary shaft and the first main bearing, and also there is formed a clearance between the eccentric portion of the second rotary shaft and the second main bearing, so that, even when the second rotary shaft moves in the axial direction thereof, there is eliminated the possibility that the eccentric portion of the second rotary shaft can be in touch with the second main bearing and second sub bearing in the axial direction, thereby being able to reduce noise. Also, the pair of main bearings further include, on the side of the compression elements, assembling jig mounting portions to which the assembling jig can be mounted.

Abstract: A refrigerating machine oil composition suitable for a compressor using a hydrofluorocarbon as a refrigerant, which comprises 100 parts by weight of a polyol ester as a base oil, from 7.0 to 15.0 parts by weight of a phosphate, and from 0.2 to 3.0 parts by weight in total of a 1,2-epoxyalkane and/or a vinylcyclohexene dioxide. The use of the refrigerating machine oil composition improves wear resistance of sliding portions of compressors and is free from the formation of sludges derived from the polyol ester used as a base oil of the oil composition. A rotary compressor using the oil composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: A refrigerant circulating system that uses a highly polar refrigerant, as typified by a hydrofluorocarbon-based one, and a refrigerating oil that has slight solubility with a liquid refrigerant on the condensation side. Also, a refrigerant circulating cycle that uses a highly polar refrigerant, as typified by a hydrofluorocarbon-based one, and a refrigerating oil that has a slight solubility with a liquid refrigerant and which has a greater specific gravity than the liquid refrigerant. Thereby, it provides a high electrical insulation and moisture resistance, good oil return to the compressor, and high reliability.

Abstract: A method of assembling a closed loop refrigerating air conditioning system using a hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant by applying a first oil which is insoluble with the hydrocarbon refrigerant to components of a compressor, and storing the insoluble oil within the housing of the compressor in a single or mixed state.

Abstract: A refrigeration device comprising a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, an accumulator and a refrigerant is described. Lubricating oil present in the compressor is chosen so as to be insoluble with the refrigerant, and a particular accumulator design is described to ensure return of oil back to the compressor.
