  • Patent number: 11395999
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method for producing a liposome which is capable of reducing the facility costs and also capable of rapid desolvation, and an apparatus for producing a liposome which is for use in the above-mentioned method. Provided is a method for producing a liposome, including a stirring step of stirring a mixed liquid containing an oil phase in which at least one lipid is dissolved in an organic solvent and a water phase, and an evaporating step of evaporating an organic solvent from the mixed liquid, in which the condensed organic solvent is removed by passing a gas having a temperature not higher than the dew point of the solvent in the evaporating step.

  • Publication number: 20040211757
    Abstract: To reduce the size of a gas-insulated switch for the purpose of utilizing the space of a power station or substation effectively and improving the economy thereof. A gas-insulated switch equipped with a fixed contact and a moving contact that can contact with and separate from the fixed contact, wherein the breakage of the moving contact is operated with a single shock absorber in both the breaking action and the closing action of the moving contact. As a result that use of the gas-insulated switch according to the present invention improves the overall energy efficiency of components, a device with further reduced driving energy can be realized for a gas-insulated switch of the same specification.

  • Patent number: 6696657
    Abstract: A puffer type gas circuit breaker wherein an insulated nozzle made of heat proof resin and a movable arc contact are mounted on a puffer cylinder to perform an open/close operation of the contact. The insulated nozzle is divided into three areas of a downstream area, an area in the vicinity of the throat and an upstream area. The downstream area and the upstream area are made of heat proof resin alone, while the area in the vicinity of the throat is formed of heat proof resin mixed with an inorganic material such as boron nitride. A movable arc contact cover made of heat proof resin having a downstream area and an upstream area is provided between the insulated nozzle and the movable arc contact, and only the downstream area of the contact cover is made of heat proof resin mixed with inorganic material.
