Patent number: 7578403Abstract: An artificial nipple for a nursing bottle having a nipple top part having at its tip a dispensing hole for dispensing a liquid drink; and an artificial nipple body which is continuous to the nipple top part, and whose diameter and wall thickness are greater than those of the nipple top part. The nipple top part has a rib, which prevents contact between an upper side and a lower side of the nipple top part when the nipple top part is compressed flat, at a portion where gums of an infant touch when an upper lip of the infant is in contact with the artificial nipple body or at an internal surface in the vicinity of the portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2006Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuo Tamura, Kazumi Horie, Shinya Ishida

Publication number: 20070131637Abstract: The invention aims to provide an artificial nipple for a nursing bottle which permits close fitting of the nipple to the sucking fossa of an infant while avoiding deformation of the nipple while providing a form that is similar to a human nipple, and which can prevent the upper and lower sides of the nipple from contacting each other during peristalsis-like movements. In view of this, the present invention provides an artificial nipple for a nursing bottle having: a nipple top part having at its tip a dispensing hole for dispensing a liquid drink; and an artificial nipple body which is continuous to the nipple top part, and whose diameter and wall thickness are greater than those of the nipple top part. The artificial nipple is made of a flexible material.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2006Publication date: June 14, 2007Applicant: OTSUKA PHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuo Tamura, Kazumi Horie, Shinya Ishida

Publication number: 20040058307Abstract: A method by a server of transmitting pass/fail information of an exam to an examinee terminal of an examinee via a network is disclosed. The method includes transmitting a confirmation mail asking whether to require the pass/fail information; receiving a response mail; recording reception time at which the server receives the response mail; determining, based on the reception time, an order in which to transmit a pass/fail information address at which the pass/fail information is located; and transmitting the pass/fail information address to a predetermined number of the examinee terminals depending on the transmission order and a load on the server. When the pass/fail information is released, the transmitting system can avoid the concentration of accesses to the pass/fail information from the examinees, and further avoid overload on the network and system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2003Publication date: March 25, 2004Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Yasuo Tamura, Koichi Nakazawa, Hiroyasu Tanabe, Ichiro Izaki

Patent number: 6633538Abstract: A node representation system designates for one of a plurality of nodes for a master node and the rest for slave nodes. Each node refers to an address management table, and monitors the node of an entry next to each node in the table in order. As a result, each node monitors the node of the next entry, and simultaneously is monitored by the node of the preceding entry. When detecting a failure in a node to be monitored, a node represents the functions of the failed node, and further represents the monitoring of a node monitored by the node. When an instruction to duplicate the resource of the master node to each slave node is issued by a control node, the master node represents the functions of each slave node while duplicating.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 1999Date of Patent: October 14, 2003Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Ryoju Tanaka, Yasuo Tamura

Patent number: 5769998Abstract: A workpiece comprising an aggregation body of platelike articles, sheet-like whose fibers have been opened by rolling, stick-like articles formed by finely tearing them from a single plate, flake-like articles, strand-like articles or the like is inserted between an upper heat plate 12 and a lower heat plate 13 of a heating press apparatus 10. A spacer 14 for surrounding the workpiece and determining the final thickness of the product is arranged on one or both of the heat plates before or after the insertion of the workpiece 11. The workpiece is compressed by the upper heat plate 12 and the lower heat plate 13 to thereby form an air tight compartment made of the upper heat plate 12, the lower the plate 13 and the spacer 14, and containing the workpiece. The air tight compartment is decompressed by vacuum for a predetermined period, then steam or heated gas is jetted onto the workpiece in the compressed air tight compartment.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 1995Date of Patent: June 23, 1998Assignee: Koyo Sangyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinji Tanzawa, Katsutoshi Sasagawa, Mitsumasa Horikawa, Yasuo Tamura, Koichi Kimura

Patent number: 5456964Abstract: A laminated material comprises a plurality of straight portions of vegetable stalks, each having an epidermis mainly of lignocellulose and a porous core. These vegetable stalks straight portions are impregnated with a thermal hardener solution of high-molecularizable liquid compound, resinified liquid, or mixtures thereof, arranged in parallel to form a layer of a sheet-like material, piling these sheet-like materials and pressing them to make these layers come to contact closely in flat condition. It is possible to make the directions of vegetable stalks in the sheet-like material different from the neighboring layers in order to strengthen a bending strength and other physical strength of the piled multi-layer laminated material, such as a pillar-like laminated material. Such pillar-like material is made by using a pair of pressing female mold and male mold, vegetable stalks being placed in the female mold and hot-pressed.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1994Date of Patent: October 10, 1995Assignee: Koyo Sangyo Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasuo Tamura, Ryoji Tanaka, Takahiko Gohma, Mitsumasa Horikawa

Patent number: 4374217Abstract: A cold-setting starch adhesive comprising the mixture of three different types of corn starch having widely different properties, i.e., high amylose corn starch having an amylose content of at least 50%, ordinary corn starch and waxy corn starch, in specific proportions. The adhesive shows excellent properties due to the effective combination of the outstanding properties of the individual types of starch.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1981Date of Patent: February 15, 1983Assignee: Hohnen Oil Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kanichi Miyake, Masahiro Tokuda, Takaaki Aoki, Hideaki Miyakawa, Yasuo Tamura
