  • Patent number: 7622767
    Abstract: In a semiconductor device, a SiN first protective insulating film is formed on a semiconductor layer. A T-shaped gate electrode is formed on the semiconductor layer. A SiN second protective insulating film spreads in an umbrella shape from above the T-shaped gate electrode. A hollow region is formed between the two SiN films. The SiN films are coated with a SiN third protective insulating film with the hollow region remaining.

  • Patent number: 6901975
    Abstract: The drug solution container with a connector for communicating contains a drug solution container having at a tip end thereof an injection needle connecting part, and a hollow connector for communicating attached to a tip end of the drug solution container, and the connector for communicating contains a cylindrical guide part with a bottom capable of being slidably attached to an opening of a vial, and a hollow penetrating member provided at a center of the bottom of the guide part to penetrate the bottom. The penetrating member contains a penetrating needle at a tip end side with respect to the bottom, and a connecting part at a base end side with respect to the bottom, and the connecting part is connected to the injection needle connecting part through a fragile portion. According to the drug solution container with a connector for communicating, an operation for preparation of a drug solution can be easily carried out in a short period of time without causing injury of an operator or coring.

  • Patent number: 6669762
    Abstract: An air trap comprises an air reservoir to be arranged in a liquid circulation line, and a hydrophilic filter which permits a liquid to permeate but does not permit gas bubbles to permeate, and which is arranged in the air reservoir to separate an upstream side of the liquid circulation line from the downstream side of the liquid circulation line. The filter has pores which meet conditions defined by equation: P<4h/d, where P represents a gas pressure, d is a diameter of the pores of the filter, and h is a surface tension of the liquid.

  • Patent number: 5899889
    Abstract: A prefilled syringe comprises a barrel having at a distal end a needle-connecting portion and at the proximal end an open end, a plastic tubular container having a mouth and a flexible hollow cylindrical body and containing a liquid medicament previously charged therein, and a plunger inserted into the barrel through the open end thereof and slidably held therein. The tubular container is held in the barrel so that the mouth thereof is placed in a lumen of the needle-connecting portion of the barrel. The cylindrical body is peeled off from the inner wall of the barrel and squeezed into a space between the barrel and the plunger when the plunger is pushed into the barrel.
