[Problems] To provide a method for treating and/or preventing osteoporosis with teriparatide or a salt thereof, the method having excellent safety and/or efficacies. [Solving Means] A method for treating and/or preventing osteoporosis in which teriparatide or a salt thereof is an active ingredient, including administering teriparatide or a salt thereof in a unit dose of 28.2 &#x3bc;g at a frequency of twice a week.

Method for preventing or treating osteoporosis, characterized by administering teriparatide or salt thereof at a frequency of twice a week

A leading end portion of a lead wire holder located in a direction opposite to a direction in which six lead wires extend is inserted toward concave surfaces through an insertion opening. After the leading end portion has entered toward the concave surfaces and gotten out therefrom, the leading end portion is situated between opposed surfaces of hooks and a holder receiving portion bottom surface. With this arrangement, a back surface of a rear end portion located opposite to the leading end portion of the lead wire holder comes into contact with end surface portions of partitioning wall portions. An end surface portion of the rear end portion faces projecting portions. Then, the six lead wires are partially received in six lead wire receiving portions, respectively.

Depressed portions for being fitted with two rotor collarsare formed in two rotor stacksopposed to each other in an axial direction of the rotating shaftwith the rotor collarstherebetween. Each of the rotor collarsincludes a central portionand a pair of fitting portions. Shapes of the depressed portionsA and fitting portionsare both defined so that there occurs no relative displacement in the radial direction of the rotating shaftbetween the rotor stacksand the rotor collarswith the fitting portionsfitted into the depressed portionsA. With this arrangement, position alignment of rotor collar and rotating shaft can easily be performed.

Rotor for hybrid type stepping motor and manufacturing method thereof

It is an object of the present invention to solve the problem of a drop in precision in conventional systems using a square pyramid type five-hole probe due to the drop in atmospheric pressure in high altitude ranges, and to provide a wide velocity range flight velocity vector measurement system that can prevent a drop in measurement precision. Furthermore, it is also an object of the present invention to provide a method for eliminating the effects of detection fluctuations caused by adhering water droplets, ice particles or dust in a wide velocity range flight velocity vector measurement system. The flight velocity vector measurement probe of the present invention comprises means in which a static pressure hole is formed in the tube wall surface of the probe, so that a static pressure value is obtained from the pressure detected by this static pressure hole, the Mach number M is calculated on the basis of an equation approximated by a fourth-order polynomial of the static pressure/total pressure signal and the angle of attack, and in cases where an abnormal detection value is detected, this is replaced by the preceding detection value.

The present invention provides a game for throwing pottery using clay placed on a potter's wheel with hands on a screen operated by a controller. The game program judges whether or not there has been operating input of left and right sticks (joysticks) or the like for operating hands displayed on the screen as to clay on a potter's wheel displayed on the screen, and in the event that there has been such operating input, determines the magnitude of force corresponding to the input value, calculates the amount of deformation of the clay from the determined magnitude of force, and displays the next image.

When obstacles inhibiting the progression of a character being operated on a screen with a controller are encountered, obstacle overcoming actions corresponding to the state of the character may be performed with a simple operation. An obstacle overcoming button is determined beforehand in the program. The character has perimeter ranges corresponding to its own speed. In the event that the obstacle object is a building, a perimeter range is also provided to a wall of the obstacle object, for example, and an obstacle overcoming table corresponding to the overlapping relations of the mutual perimeter ranges is created beforehand. In the event the obstacle overcoming button is operated and the perimeter range of the character and the perimeter range of the wall overlap, an action of jumping over the obstacle object, for example, is automatically invoked.

Methods and apparatus for causing a character object to overcome an obstacle object

Two manual controllers are connected to two slots of an entertainment apparatus via connectors, respectively. One of the manual controllers is manipulated as a manual input device by a user. The other manual controller is placed upside down on a table, for example, and moves by vibrations so as to functions as a movable object (movable device). The user can move the movable device synchronously with the movement of an object displayed on a display monitor by manipulating the manual controller.

A permanent magnet type stepping motor capable of exhibiting increased rotational angle accuracy and static angle accuracy minimizing a reduction in static torque. The permanent magnet type stepping motor includes a permanent magnet element having n (n: a positive integer of 4 or more) N magnetic poles and n S magnetic poles. A pitch between each adjacent two pole teeth of claw pole type yoke units is set to be constant. Magnetic center-magnetic center pitches between respective adjacent two of the n N magnetic poles and those between respective adjacent two of the n S magnetic poles are not set to be constant at 360&deg;/n but defined to include two or more different pitches between more than 270&deg;/n and less than 450&deg;/n. Also, magnetic center-magnetic center pitches of respective adjacent two of the magnetic poles of the rotor are not set to be constant but defined to include two or more different pitches between more than 135&deg;/n and less than 225&deg;/n.

An entertainment system comprises story developing means for allowing a player to a virtually experience a cocking operation in a kitchen of a restaurant registered with a restaurant information table from opening time to closing time of the restaurant, three-minute cooking processing means for allowing a player to virtually experience a cooking operation in a kitchen of a restaurant registered with the restaurant information table for a predetermined time period (for example, three minutes), and competition processing means for allowing a player to virtually experience a cooking operation in a kitchen of a restaurant registered with the restaurant information table, while playing a match game with a plurality of other players.

An entertainment system has an entertainment apparatus for executing various programs, a manual controller for entering manual control requests from a user into the entertainment apparatus, a monitor for displaying images outputted from the entertainment apparatus, and a speaker for outputting sounds outputted from the entertainment apparatus. The manual controller has motors for imparting vibrations to the user in response to an external request. The entertainment system also has a vibration/sound setting unit for setting up a length of a bar displayed on the monitor according to a control input from the manual controller, setting up a magnitude of vibrations to be generated by the motors depending on the length of the bar, and setting up a type and/or a pitch of sound to be outputted to the speaker depending on the length of the bar.

A permanent magnet type stepping motor capable of exhibiting increased rotational angle accuracy and static angle accuracy. Claw pole type yoke units each include two yokes each provided with n (n: a positive integer of 4 or more) pole teeth. One of the yokes includes n/m pole teeth arranged in each of angular ranges of 360&deg; /m (m: a divisor of n other than 1 and n). Pitches a between pole teeth positioned in each angular range are set to be within a range of (90&deg; /n) &lsqb;4&minus;m/(n&minus;m)&rsqb; <a<(360&deg; /n). A pitch b between two pole teeth positioned on both side of a boundary between each adjacent two angular ranges is set to be within a range of (360&deg; /n)<b<(450&deg; /n). The other yoke has pole teeth arranged between the pole teeth of the one yoke.
