Open AccessDesign improvement of the conversion mechanism from balloon inflation to bending motion for inflatable film actuators
Various soft actuators have been investigated to overcome the drawbacks of conventional solid machines and explore the applications of soft robotics. In particular, and because they are expected to be applicab...

Position feedback control for electrostatically controlled linear actuator
In this paper, we introduce a position feedback control for an electrostatically controlled linear actuator. The electrostatically controlled linear actuator, which is fabricated using microelectromechanical s...

Ultralow friction of DLC in presence of glycerol mono-oleate (GNO)
This paper presents a unique tribological system that is able to produce no measurable wear of material combination and that reduces friction markedly in the ultralow regime under boundary lubrication. Ultralo...

Intracranial hemorrhage in children with immune thrombocytopenic purpura
We sent questionnaires to hospitals in Japan in order to study the incidence and conditions of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in children with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). From 1980 to 1995, 11 cases...

Study on fabrication of high aspect ratio MEMS microparts using a compact SR beamline
A compact beamline dedicated to hard x-ray deep lithography for fabrication of high aspect ratio MEMS microparts has been developed. The exposure stage was only 3 meters away from the synchrotron radiation (S...

Immunoglobulin free light chain assay using latex agglutination
Under normal biological conditions, immunoglobulin light chains are generally formed in conjunction with heavy chains; however, small quantities of free light chains are also produced. Thus, two types of immun...

Adrenergic and cholinergic inhibition of Ca2+ channels mediated by different GTP-binding proteins in rat sympathetic neurones
Effects of acetylcholine (ACh) and noradrenaline (NA) on voltage-gated ion channels of sympathetic neurones acutely dissociated from rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) were examined using the whole-cell volt...

Tuberous sclerosis presenting as abdominal tumor
Tuberous sclerosis can present as an abdominal tumor due to angiomyolipoma even in a child without seizures, retardation or skin lesions. CT scanning is useful to differentiate this from polycystic kidneys.

Mercury in the Kuroshio and Oyashio regions and the Japan Sea
ALTHOUGH measurements of the mercury concentration in sea water have been made by several investigators1–13, the reported values are widely scattered and it may be significant that almost all the samples were kep...

Generation of ultra-short pulses from high-gain narrow-linewidth lasers
Modified type mode-locking with many passive-mode excitation has been proposed to generate ultra-short light pulses from high-gain narrow-linewidth lasers, The mode-locking with single-active-mode (MLSAM) whic...
