Abstract: A energetic-based piston actuator system imparts a rotational motion in the piston in a manner that increases system efficiency and reliability. A malleable ring mounted about the piston neck obturates upon initiation of the energetic charge, and rifling provided on an interior surface of the actuator barrel causes the ring to rotate, and causes a counter-rotation in the piston. The rotating ring serves as a seal for preventing gas blow-by and the rotating piston is more dynamically stable throughout its travel down the barrel.

A step of performing frequency analysis based on an operating current waveform analyzes power supply current characteristics based on an operating current waveform obtained in accordance with the specification. A step of calculating power supply noise calculates the power supply noise in accordance with analysis results of the step of performing frequency analysis on the power supply distribution network model and the step of performing frequency analysis based on the operating current waveform. It is thus possible to estimate the power supply noise before designing a circuit of the semiconductor device.

Abstract: A method for the removal of cholesterol, triglycerides and other lipids from animal plasma, serum or other suitable blood fractions, as a discontinuous flow system, the method comprising withdrawing blood from a subject, separating the required fraction from the blood and mixing with a solvent mixture which extracts the lipids from the fraction, after which the delipidated fraction is recombined with the blood cells and returned to the subject, wherein the solvent extraction step is carried out separately and remote from the subject. The delipidated fraction is washed with a second solvent before being recombined with the blood cells. To ensure that the delipidated fraction is free from all extraction solvent, the fraction is mixed with an absorbent specific for the solvent that is being removed. The preferred absorbent is a macroporous polymeric bead contained in the pores of a sintered glass or plastic sphere, the being capable of absorbing organic molecules from an aqueous solution. By treating the plasma, serum or other suitable blood fraction of a patient by these methods, the blood rheology of a patient with impaired blood circulation can be improved. Further, a rapid regression of coronary atherosclerosis occurs.

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent nonuniform fixing caused by excessive temperature rise of the areas of the fixing member, where a recording medium is not passed.  <P>SOLUTION: The fixing device 100 is equipped with: an excitation coil 110 that generates a magnetic field H; a heat generation element 118 having a heat generation layer 120 that generates heat by electromagnetic induction of the magnetic field H and a heat transfer layer 122 that makes the temperature of the heat generation layer 120 uniform; a fixing belt 102; a pressing pad 116; and a pressure roll 104. In this case, when a small-sized recording paper P is continuously passed, the excessive heat of the paper non-passage areas A and C of the recording paper P is transferred to the heat conductive layer 122. Consequently, the temperatures of the paper non-passage areas A and C decrease. In the heat conductive layer 122, heat transfers to a paper passage area B by the temperature gradient of the inside, and heat is further transferred to the fixing belt 102. Consequently, the temperature of the paper passage area B increases. Thus, the temperature of the heat generation layer 120 becomes uniform in the axial direction of the fixing belt 102, and the temperature difference of the fixing belt 102 decreases, which makes nonuniform fixing less likely to occur.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
