A residual wound quantity display mechanism of a mechanical timepiece has an output gearwheel rotating in compliance with a change in a residual wound quantity of a mainspring; a drive lever possessing monolithically a fan-shaped gearwheel part meshing with the output gearwheel, and an arm part extending from a rotation center of the fan-shaped gearwheel part in a direction different from a fan-shaped portion of the fan-shaped gearwheel part; a display member possessing a drive gearwheel part rotatably supported to a tip part of the arm part of the drive lever, and a display arbor formed monolithically in the drive gearwheel part in a site separated from a rotation center of the drive gearwheel part; and a fixation gearwheel possessing a fixation tooth part with which a tooth part of the drive gearwheel part of the display member meshes. Typically the fixation gearwheel adopts a form of the internally-toothed gearwheel. | 08-28-2008 |
20090129207 | Calendar mechanism-attached timepiece having month indicator and date indicator - To provide a calendar mechanism-attached timepiece having a thin date feeding mechanism and month feeding mechanism. A calendar mechanism-attached timepiece of the invention includes a date indicator, a month indicator, a date indicator driving wheel, a date feed finger, and a small month end feed lever. The date indicator includes a month feed tooth for rotating an intermediate month wheel and a small month end feed tooth for feeding the date indicator at a month end of a small month. The month indicator includes a month cam for operating a small month end feed lever at a month end of a small month. The small month end feed lever is constituted to be able to feed the date indicator by an amount of 1 day based on rotation of the date indicator driving wheel and rotation of the month cam. | 05-21-2009 |
20100135125 | Watch with calendar mechanism equipped with month indicator and date indicator - The present invention aims to provide a watch with a calendar mechanism which allows a reduction in the thickness of a date feeding mechanism and a month feeding mechanism. In a watch with a calendar mechanism according to the present invention, a date indicator includes a month end tooth for driving a month feeding lever at the end of a month and feeding the date indicator at the end of a shorter month. A month indicator includes a month cam for operating a shorter month end feeding lever at the end of a shorter month. The shorter month end feeding lever can feed the date indicator by one day based on the rotation of a date indicator driving wheel and the rotation of the month cam. The month feeding lever moves toward the month indicator at the end of a month based on the rotation of the date indicator, and can feed the month indicator by one month. | 06-03-2010 |
20100188937 | Watch with calendar mechanism having two date indicators - The present invention aims to provide a watch with a calendar mechanism which has a first date indicator and a second date indicator and which is of a satisfactory operability. The watch with a calendar mechanism of the present invention is equipped with a second date indicator feeding lever adapted to move based on the rotation of the first date indicator and to rotate the second date indicator. The first date indicator includes first date indicator tooth portions, and calendar shift teeth. The calendar shift teeth consist of a first calendar shift tooth, a second calendar shift tooth formed at an interval of (360*2/31) degrees in a first direction using the first calendar shift tooth as a reference, a third calendar shift tooth formed at an interval of (360*9/31) degrees in the first direction using the second calendar shift tooth as a reference, and a fourth calendar shift tooth formed at an interval of (360*10/31) degrees in a direction opposite to the first direction using the first calendar shift tooth as a reference. | 07-29-2010 |
20110058455 | Calendar mechanism equipped timepiece including two date indicators - To provide a calendar mechanism equipped timepiece which, being small and thin, includes two date indicators configuring date characters which are large and easy to see. A calendar mechanism equipped timepiece of the invention includes a first date indicator which displays the ones column of the date, a second date indicator which displays the tenths column of the date, and a program wheel which enables each of the first date indicator and second date indicator to rotate intermittently. The program wheel includes program wheel teeth, first date indicator advance teeth, second date indicator advance teeth having provided at the leading ends thereof second date indicator advance fingers, and correction teeth. A configuration is such that the height of the second date indicator advance teeth is greater than the height of the first date indicator advance teeth, and the height of the first date indicator advance teeth is greater than the height of the correction teeth. | 03-10-2011 |
20120314544 | CALENDAR MECHANISM AND TIMEPIECE HAVING THE SAME - A calendar mechanism of a timepiece includes a date indicator having a date wheel portion provided with a notched portion. An operation lever attached to the date indicator is pivotable between a pre-feed allowing position, where a tooth-shaped engaged portion thereof is inserted into the notched portion whereby excess feeding of the date indicator is possible, and a normal feed allowing position, where the tooth-shaped engaged portion retreats from the notched portion whereby normal feeding is possible. The date indicator is rotated by a day earlier than the normal feeding when set to the pre-feed allowing position. A driving lever structure includes a cam follower engaged with a month cam and is driven in response to rotation of the month cam to allow the operation lever to be pivoted between the normal feed allowing position and the pre-feed allowing position. | 12-13-2012 |

20090155273 | REMEDIES FOR INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES - Antibodies against AILIM (also called ICOS and 8F4) were found to significantly suppress the onset of inflammatory bowel diseases (especially Crohn's disease and colitis (ulcerative colitis and such)), and exhibit a significant therapeutic effect against inflammatory bowel diseases. | 06-18-2009 |
20130241047 | POWER SEMICONDUCTOR MODULE AND POWER UNIT DEVICE - A power semiconductor module includes: a plurality of first metal plates arranged in the same planar state; a power semiconductor chip mounted on the first metal plate; and an overbridge-shaped second metal plate which is composed of bridge frame sections and leg sections that support the bridge frame sections, the leg sections being for appropriately performing solder bonding between electrodes of the power semiconductor chips and between the electrode of the power semiconductor chip and the first metal plate, the power semiconductor module being configured by a resin package in which these members are sealed with electrically insulating resin. In the power semiconductor module, the solder bonding section of the leg section is formed in a planar shape by bending process and is provided at a position lower than the bridge frame section. | 09-19-2013 |
20140328808 | TECHNIQUE FOR ISOLATING/CULTURING COLORECTAL EPITHELIAL STEM CELL, AND TECHNIQUE FOR TRANSPLANTING COLORECTAL EPITHELIUM EMPLOYING SAID TECHNIQUE - It is an object of the present invention to provide a culture medium for in vitro culture of a colorectal epithelial stem cell or the like, a method of in vitro culturing a colorectal epithelial stem cell or the like using the culture medium, a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for a bowel disease containing a colorectal epithelial stem cell or the like cultured by the method, a method of administrating, i.e., transplanting a colorectal epithelial stem cell or the like cultured by the method to a bowel disease patient, and a method of isolating a colorectal epithelial stem cell or the like. The culture medium for in vitro culture of a colorectal epithelial stem cell and/or a colorectal epithelial cell characteristically contains serum albumin, Wnt3a, and r-spondin-1. | 11-06-2014 |
