Abstract: A gas spring apparatus comprises an outer tube, a cylinder held in the outer tube, and a rod having a piston located in the cylinder. The rod is inserted into the cylinder through a sealing portion. The interior of the cylinder is divided in two, a first liquid chamber situated on the side of the sealing portion and a low-pressure gas chamber situated on the side remoter from the sealing portion, by the piston. A space between the inner surface of the outer tube and the outer surface of the cylinder is divided between a high-pressure gas chamber and a second liquid chamber by a metal bellows. A first liquid chamber and a second liquid chamber communicate with each other by liquid communicating portions. A gas is charged in the high-pressure gas chamber at a higher pressure than in the low-pressure gas chamber.

Abstract: A method of lining a channel can be provided which includes the steps of: installing at a work site a roll having wound thereon a rigid or semirigid plastic pipe shaped initially in the form of an approximately round tube and deformed from the initial form to a flat tubular form, paying off the pipe as softened by heating from the roll installed at the work site toward an inlet of the channel to be lined, and folding the paid-off flat pipe in two to a U shape at a position between the roll and the channel inlet. The U-shaped pipe is hardened by forced cooling from outside immediately after the folding step while being restricted in shape, then inserted into the channel while being thus hardened and thereafter restored to the initial form by being inflated with heat and pressure applied from inside, whereby a lining of improved quality can be formed with an improved work efficiency.

Abstract: A method for increasing the placental blood flow, which comprises administering a human-originated antithrombin-III. The human-originated antithrombin-III increases the placental blood flow in mammals and particularly improves intrauterine growth retardation caused by a decreased blood flow. The method is highly safe to the mother and fetus, since it uses human-originated AT-III as an active ingredient, thereby enabling effective and safe treatment of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and the like.
