Abstract: A sphygmomanometer according to the present disclosure includes a main body that is mounted with a pump and is to be disposed on a dorsal surface of a wrist and a cuff that is to be attached around the wrist. The cuff extends along a circumferential direction of the wrist from an ulnar side end portion of the main body to a palmar surface and is set to a length covering an ulnar artery or a length covering a radial artery beyond the ulnar artery of a wrist having a preset maximum wrist circumference. A fluid is supplied from the pump to the cuff to press the wrist. A blood pressure is calculated based on a pressure of the fluid contained in the cuff.

Abstract: The invention provides a waterless offset lithographic printing plate precursor that is mountable on a magnet type printing cylinder and has high durability and halftone dot reproducibility. The waterless offset lithographic printing plate precursor contains at least a heat-sensitive layer and a silicone rubber layer disposed on a substrate, the substrate being of a ferromagnet material.

Abstract: An engine air cleaner includes a cleaner element unit is housed within the upper cover body, and a skirt wall of the upper cover body extends further downward than the suction opening. A seal packing and the cleaner element unit are superimposed and fitted onto an outer periphery of an intake passage within the cleaner cover body. The seal packing is provided with a retaining projection that is tightly engaged with the intake passage. An air cleaner is disposed to be side by side with one side of the engine, a lower part of the cleaner cover body is joined integrally to and supported on the engine together with a carburetor via a pair of connecting bolts, and a reinforcing vertical wall portion of the cleaner cover body facing the engine across a gap is joined integrally to and supported on the engine via another connecting bolt.

Abstract: An air-cooled engine (10) has a fan cover (16) for covering a cooling fan (14). The cover (16) is composed of a fan-cover peripheral wall (44) for covering the outside of the cooling fan (14), and a top board (45) for closing off one end of the fan-cover peripheral wall (44). The fan-cover peripheral wall (44) has an internally disposed guiding duct (47) for guiding cooling air (Wi) from the cooling fan (14) to an engine main body (12). A first fastening member (42) secures a portion of the external part of the fan-cover peripheral wall (44) that is proximal to the guiding duct (47) to a casing (25) of the engine main body (12). A second fastening member (41) extends from the casing (25) and through the fan-cover peripheral wall (44), and secures a top board (45) in a portion that is at a distance from the guiding duct (47).

Abstract: The invention provides an air-cleaner filter material for an internal combustion engine, which comprises a dust-collecting layer comprising a melt-blown nonwoven fabric having a maximum pore size of 100 ?m or less and a dust-retaining layer arranged upstream of the dust-collecting layer and laminated integrally by heat fusion with, the dust-collecting layer, comprising a thermal-bond nonwoven fabric having fibers with two or more fiber diameters arranged in the order of increasing the proportion of smaller fiber diameter in the direction from the upstream to downstream side, wherein the in-plane of the filter material has a portion of high fiber density and a portion of low fiber density, and the portion of high fiber density occurs in a lattice pattern.

Abstract: In an engine air cleaner, a suction opening (50) communicating with outside air and a discharge opening (16) communicating with an engine (E) are provided in an upper cover body (11) of a cleaner cover (10), a cleaner element unit (Ue) for cleaning the outside air sucked in via the suction opening (50) is housed within the upper cover body (11), and a skirt wall (11a) of the upper cover body (11) in the vicinity of the suction opening (50) extends further downward than the suction opening (50). This prevents raindrops running down the outer face of the cleaner cover body (11) from being sucked into the interior of the air cleaner via the suction opening (50).

Abstract: The invention provides an air-cleaner filter material for an internal combustion engine, which has a long life with high rigidity without deformation or filter material breakage upon loading with dust, is free of re-scattering of dust, and hardly causes environmental contamination at the time of producing it, as well as an air-cleaner element using the same.

Abstract: An artificial tubular organ composed of a tubular supporting frame made of a plastic material which is provided on at least one surface therefore with a medical prosthetic material. The supporting frame is composed of a plurality of ring portions arranged on an axis, and a plurality of pairs of connecting portions extending between adjacent two ring portions so as to connect them to each other, every other pair of the connecting portions being diametrically arranged on the ring portions, the remaining pairs of the connecting portions being arranged such that a plane containing their center lines is perpendicular to a plane containing the center lines of pairs of diametrically arranged connecting portions. The medical prosthetic material may be a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a nonwoven fabric, or a combination thereof. Preferred fabric includes absorbable macromolecular yarns and nonabsorbable macromolecular yarns.
