20080228213 | Variable size trocar - A trocar includes a guide tube axially movable within a securing member. The securing member has an annular member having an inside circumference which is complementary with the outside circumference of the guide tube so that the guide tube is axially movable within the annular member. | 09-18-2008 |
20090306541 | Body Tissue Incision Apparatus - The body tissue harvesting instrument is provided with a cutter which is disposed at the distal end of an insertion member that is inserted into the body of an organism, and which severs tissue inside the body. The cutter includes: a cutter body which projects from the distal end, and which includes a slit that extends from the distal end toward the base end; a first high-frequency electrode disposed along the two side edges of the slit on the outer surface of the cutter body and a second high-frequency electrode disposed at the base end of the slit; and a mechanism which is disposed on both sides of the distal end of the slit in the projection of the cutter body, which rotates as a result of being pressed by the tissue, and which feeds the tissue toward the interior of the slit. In addition, the parts located on both sides of the distal end of the slit in the projection mutually separate in the thickness direction of the slit. Moreover, the second electrode is capable of moving between the base end and distal end of the slit in the cutter body; and the width of the distal end of the slit is set larger than the width of the base end. It is possible to provide a holder—which holds the tissue so that it is able to freely move along it—at the distal end of the insertion member, and the holder includes a tissue holding frame which has two arms which extend in the width direction of the slit at both the distal end part and proximal end part relative to the distal end, and which face each other in the extension direction of the slit. The two arms mutually diverge in the thickness direction. | 12-10-2009 |
20090306699 | Blunt Dissector for Separating Blood Vessels from Surrounding Tissue - A blunt dissector for separating a blood vessel from surrounding tissues in a body comprises a longitudinal rod having a proximal end, a distal end, and an internal passage for conducting insufflation gas between the proximal and distal ends. An interior sleeve is mounted within the longitudinal rod for receiving an endoscope at the proximal end. A transparent tip is mounted to the distal end of the longitudinal rod. A handle is mounted to the proximal end of the longitudinal rod. The longitudinal rod has an outer surface along substantially all of the longitudinal rod between the proximal and distal ends consisting essentially of a fluoropolymer. | 12-10-2009 |
20100229945 | Sheet for sealing rear surface of solar cell - The present invention provides a sheet for sealing a rear surface of a solar cell in which degradation due to hydrolysis of the material constituting the solar cell is prevented, and the weather resistance is excellent such that electric output properties of the solar cell can be maintained not only under conditions of actual usage of the solar cell module but also conditions for evaluation under high temperatures and high moistures, and provides a sheet for sealing a rear surface of a solar cell comprising a laminate in which at least two substrates are laminated by an polyurethane-based adhesive, wherein the polyurethane-based adhesive comprises an adhesive having hydrolysis resistance which satisfies the following conditions: condition 1: the lamination strength of the adhesive is 1 N/15 mm or more after keeping the laminate in a chamber which acts as a highly accelerated stress test system under pressurized steam conditions of 105° C. and 1.05 atm for 168 hours; and condition 2: the adhesive does not bring on a delamination and a blister between the substrates after keeping the laminate in a chamber which acts as a highly accelerated stress test system under pressurized steam conditions of 105° C. and 1.05 atm for 168 hours. | 09-16-2010 |
20110104482 | POLYURETHANE ADHESIVE FOR OUTDOOR USE - A polyurethane adhesive for outdoor use that uses a base material and a curing agent, wherein the base material comprises a polyol (A) composed of a polyester polyol and/or polyester polyurethane polyol containing a dibasic acid component comprising 40 to 80 mol % of an aromatic dibasic acid and 20 to 60 mol % of an aliphatic dibasic acid having 9 or more carbon atoms, and a polyhydric alcohol component comprising 20 to 100 mol % of an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol having 5 or more carbon atoms, and the curing agent comprises a polyisocyanate (B) containing an isocyanurate in a weight ratio of 50 to 100%. | 05-05-2011 |
20110161624 | Floating Point Collect and Operate - Mechanisms are provided for performing a floating point collect and operate for a summation across a vector for a dot product operation. A routing network placed before the single instruction multiple data (SIMD) unit allows the SIMD unit to perform a summation across a vector with a single stage of adders. The routing network routes the vector elements to the adders in a first cycle. The SIMD unit stores the results of the adders into a results vector register. The routing network routes the summation results from the results vector register to the adders in a second cycle. The SIMD unit then stores the results from the second cycle in the results vector register. | 06-30-2011 |
20120035606 | Body Tissue Incision Apparatus - The body tissue harvesting instrument is provided with a cutter which is disposed at the distal end of an insertion member that is inserted into the body to sever tissue inside the body. The cutter includes a slit that extends from the distal end toward the base end; a first high-frequency electrode disposed along the two side edges of the slit on the outer surface of the cutter body and a second high-frequency electrode disposed at the base end of the slit; and a mechanism which is disposed on both sides of the distal end of the slit in the projection of the cutter body which rotates as a result of being pressed by the tissue, and which feeds the tissue toward the interior of the slit. Parts located on both sides of the distal end of the slit in the projection may mutually separate in the thickness direction. | 02-09-2012 |
20130296504 | ADHESIVE AGENT COMPOSITION AND LAMINATED BODY - The present invention is to provide an adhesive agent composition, including: a main agent containing a polyether polyurethane polyol and a bisphenol A-type epoxy resin; and a curing agent, wherein the polyether polyurethane polyol is obtained by reacting a polyalkylene glycol including repeating units each having a carbon number of 3 or 4 and an alkane diol monomer with an organic diisocyanate at an equivalent ratio (NCO/OH) of 0.7 or more but less than 1, a weight average molecular weight thereof is in the range of 20,000 to 70,000, and an urethane bond equivalent thereof is in the range of 320 to 600 g/eq, and wherein a number average molecular weight of the bisphenol A-type epoxy resin is in the range of 400 to 5,000, and the bisphenol A-type epoxy resin is of a solid state or a semisolid state at normal temperature. | 11-07-2013 |
