  • Publication number: 20130199275
    Abstract: Provided is a convenient leak detector which has high detection sensitivity and can quickly start a leak test after the start of vacuuming a test piece, without impairing the capabilities such as fast response to helium gas. The leak detector includes a mass spectrometer tube configured to detect a search gas and a turbo-molecule pump which has a plurality of stages rotors and stators alternately arranged in a housing, the rotors attached to a rotary shaft, and includes a drive source configured to rotationally drive the rotary shaft. An intake port communicating with a test piece TP and a connection port to which the mass spectrometer tube is connected are opened at positions away from each other in a wall surface of the housing, the wall surface facing a rotor of the uppermost stage.

  • Patent number: 8030227
    Abstract: A photocurable fixture for orthopedic surgery has a base material and a photocurable resin retained in the base material and containing a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer and a photopolymerization initiator which absorbs a light within a range of 400 to 700 nm. The urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer being represented by the following formula (I), where A denotes a diisocyanate residue, and each of X and Y denotes a residue obtained by removing a hydroxy group from a (meth)acrylate having a hydroxy group. In formula (I) at least 40 mol % of X and Y is a residue obtained by removing a hydroxy group from a (meth)acrylate having a hydroxy group represented by the following formula (II), where in Formula (II) each of R1 to R6 denotes a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.

  • Publication number: 20080045622
    Abstract: It is intended to obtain a photocurable fixture for orthopedic surgery for which required strength can be obtained in a short period of time with visible light. A photocurable resin containing a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer of the following formula (I) and a photopolymerization initiator which absorbs a light of 400 to 700 nm is prepared. This photocurable resin 4 is retained in a base material 3 to form a support material 5. The inside of this support material 5 is covered with a buffer material 6 and the outside is covered with a cover material 2, to obtain a splint material 1 as a fixture for orthopedic surgery. The buffer material 6 side is put on affected parts, and a bandage is wound over it, and then molding is carried out under irradiation with visible light. As the curing proceeds, a splint is obtained and the affected parts can be fixed. (in the formula (I), A denotes a diisocyanate residue, and each of X and Y denotes a (meth)acrylate residue having a hydroxy group.

  • Patent number: 6991610
    Abstract: An orthopedic fixture has a support member adapted to be positioned around a diseased or injured part of a patient's body and conformed to the shape of the diseased or injured part, and at least one buffer member comprised of a mixture containing a predetermined amount of elastic granules and a predetermined amount of a water-curable resin having an elasticity after curing sufficient for bonding the elastic granules after curing of the water-curable resin. The mixture of the buffer member forms a mass before curing of the water-curable resin so that when the support member is positioned around the diseased or injured part and pressure is applied to the mass, the elastic granules move one another to shape the mass into a configuration corresponding to the shape of the diseased or injured part.

  • Publication number: 20040249326
    Abstract: It is an object to obtain a water-curable supporting bandage which can be applied to even an affected part of complicated shape with sufficient time, when it is applied by winding it around an affected part such as bone fracture for fixing. A supporting bandage comprising a water-curable polyurethane pre-polymer composition held on the fabric material is applied to an affected part without water supply. Sufficient time can be taken for application of the supporting bandage to the affected part. After completion of the application, the polyurethane prepolymer is rapidly cured by supplying water from outside of the supporting bandage to obtain a sufficient strength.

  • Publication number: 20020165295
    Abstract: This invention provides a forming material which is cured within a short period by a small amount of water, has a molding property necessary for forming and has a sufficient fixing function. In a forming material 4 where a granulated material 1 coated with a moisture-curable urethane prepolymer 2 is tightly sealed with a water-permeable material 3 having smaller openings than the size of the granulated material, the moisture-curable urethane prepolymer 2 is a polyurethane prepolymer comprising polyisocyanate and a polyol and the polyisocyanate NCO % contained therein is made 1-5% by weight.

  • Patent number: 5072144
    Abstract: A moving-coil linear motor is formed with a stator means forming a guide and having a permanent magnet array having opposite poles alternately at constant intervals in longitudinal direction of the stator means, and a mover means mounted on the stator means for being movable through an electromagnetic force along the stator means, the mover means having three-phase moving coils wound in bipolar system on cores U-shaped in section. Positive and negative voltages are alternately applied through brushes to the moving coils of the mover means, while its U-shaped cores are opposed to the permanent magnet array, disposing the array between both leg portions of the U-shaped cores, with the magnetic efficiency of the motor thereby remarkably improved while sufficiently effectively minimizing the size.
