Inventor: RESTELLI ANDREA
IPC: D06F39/08
Filed: 2002-11-19
Abstract: The present invention relates to a coupling tube for coupling to a central water system linen and dish washing machines, and other white goods in general, comprising an inner tube element (2) coupled, at the end portions thereof, to a rubber holder fitting (3) and an outer protective tube element (10) defining, in cooperation with said inner tube element (2), a tightly closed gap. The main feature of the invention is that the coupling tube comprises moreover, at least at one end portion of the tube, a covering casing (20), defining a chamber (40) inside which an indicating or signalling element (41) is movable, as urged by the pushing force of the liquid possibly present in said gap because of the failure of the inner tube element (2). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A pedal supporting structure includes a pedal bracket (25)
secured at a front end thereof to a dash panel (17) and secured at
a rear end thereof to a support beam (39), a pedal shaft (59) for swingably
supporting a pedal arm (41) and a pressure member (69) disposed in front
of the pedal shaft (59). When an external force larger than a specified
value is exerted, a front part of the pedal bracket is constituted
to be more easily deformed than other parts of the pedal bracket.
When the front part of the pedal bracket is deformed, the pressure
member (69) presses the pedal shaft (59) in a backward direction. As a result,
the pedal shaft (59) is disengaged from the pedal bracket (25) due to a
relative displacement between the pedal shaft (59) and the pedal
bracket (25).

Abstract: A method is provided for producing a solid dispersion of
a sparingly water-soluble medical substance comprising the
step of heat treating a mixture of the sparingly water-soluble
medical substance, an amorphous state-inducing agent
and an amorphous state-stabilising agent using a hot air
dryer, a fluidized bed dryer, a gyro-dryer or a powder dryer
at a temperature of not more than the melting point of the
sparingly water-soluble medical substance for 20-120 minutes
whereby the sparingly water-soluble medical substance is
converted to the amorphous state. 
     Also provided is a method for producing a solid
dispersion of a sparingly water-soluble medical substance
comprising the step of microwave heating a mixture of the
sparingly water-soluble medical substance, an amorphous
state-stabilising agent and an amorphous state-inducing agent
at a frequency of 915, 2450, 5800 or 22125 MHz for 3-40
minutes whereby the medical substance is converted to the
amorphous state. 
     These processes make it possible to make sparingly
water-soluble medical substance amorphous at a temperature
lower than those employed in the conventional methods. The
solid dispersions of the amorphous sparingly water-soluble
medical substances thus obtained have an improved mucosal or
rectal absorption rate, which makes it possible to elevate
their bioavailability.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical fiber comprises
steps of heating a glass rod, which is a first preform
of the optical fiber, elongating the heated
glass rod to generate a second preform, and further
heating and drawing the second preform to a filament-like
form to generate said optical fiber, wherein the
heating and the elongation speed are controlled based
on a numerical value which changes with the progress of
elongation of the glass rod. For this purpose, a location
of an end-drawn region is detected where the
glass rod is end-drawn based on the diameter at a
plurality of locations along the axial direction of
the glass rod by the elongation as said numerical
value, a polishing range is set where the glass rod
is polished by a flame based on said location of the
end-drawn region, and the heating power of the flame
is controlled based on the diameter of the end-drawn
region for polishing the polishing range of the glass
rod by the flame.
