  • Patent number: 8720735
    Abstract: A pressure vessel, including: a body portion; and an inclined nozzle projecting from the body portion along an axis inclined relative to an inner surface of the body portion, wherein: a through hole of a circular section is formed through both the body portion and the inclined nozzle. At an intersecting portion between the inner surface of the body portion and a surface surrounding the through hole, there are formed round portions. The radius of each of the round portions at two positions in a major axis direction is smaller than the radius of each of round portions.

  • Publication number: 20130245475
    Abstract: An RI measurement/notification apparatus includes: a displaying section configured to display waveform data of an intracardiac electrocardiogram; a waveform data acquiring section configured to acquire waveform data in a preset waveform data acquisition time period from an intracardiac electrocardiogram during atrial fibrillation; an RI calculating section configured to calculate an RI value based on the waveform data acquired by the waveform data acquiring section; and a notifying section configured to, in a case where the RI value calculated by the RI calculating section exceeds a preset threshold, notify that the value exceeds the threshold.

  • Publication number: 20130245476
    Abstract: A cardiac muscle excitation waveform detector including: a waveform acquisition section that acquires, in a preset period, a waveform from an intracardiac electrocardiogram measured in middle of occurrence of atrial fibrillation; a waveform detection condition setting section that sets conditions for detecting a waveform of cardiac muscle excitation; and an excitation waveform detection section that detects a waveform of cardiac muscle excitation from the waveforms based on the conditions, wherein the waveform detection condition setting section includes a section that sets conditions based on a contour of a waveform to detect candidates for the waveform of cardiac muscle excitation, a section that sets a search period for searching for a waveform of cardiac muscle excitation; and a section that sets a preset period subsequent to detection as a detection exclusion period during which the candidate waveforms are not detected when the waveform of cardiac muscle excitation is detected.

  • Publication number: 20120253209
    Abstract: A non-invasive venous pressure measurement apparatus is provided, including: a first cuff attached to a portion including a vein and an artery in a living body; a pressure control unit that changes a first applied pressure applied by the cuff to the portion; a pulse wave detection unit that detects a pulse wave from a pressure received by the cuff from the portion; another pulse wave detection unit that detects another pulse wave including at least an arterial pulse wave in another portion of the living body; an analyzing unit that analyzes a correlation between the two pulse waves, which are changed as the applied pressure is changed by the pressure control unit changes; and a venous pressure calculation unit that calculates a venous pressure based on the applied pressure and a result of analysis by the analyzing unit.

  • Patent number: 6637108
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a cylinder block provides an abrasion-resistant layer in a cylinder bore by build-up welding. The method applies build-up welding to preformed recesses along an inner surface of the cylinder bore. After build-up welding, final finishing provides a finished bore surface. The method creates an abrasion-resistant surface in areas prone to piston abrasion and manages welding strain to minimize cylinder block distortion.
