Methods: This prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint, multicenter, parallel-group, comparative study included 340 subjects with T2DM and no history of apparent CVD recruited at 24 clinical units. Subjects were randomly allocated to either the tofoglifozin treatment group (n 169) or conventional treatment group using drugs other than SGLT2 inhibitors (n 171). Primary outcomes were changes= in mean and maximum common carotid IMT measured by echography during= a 104-week treatment period. Results: In a mixed-efects model for repeated measures, the mean IMT of the common carotid artery (mean- IMT-CCA), along with the right and left maximum IMT of the CCA (max-IMT-CCA), signifcantly declined in both the tofoglifozin ( 0.132 mm, SE 0.007; 0.163 mm, SE 0.013; 0.170 mm, SE 0.020, respectively) and the control group ( 0.140 mm,− SE 0.006; 0.190 mm,− SE 0.012; 0.190 mm,− SE 0.020, respectively).

    COBOTS EBOOK Collaborative Robots Buyer's Guide INTRODUCTION A new kind of robot has made its way into industrial settings, challenging our preconceived notions of robotics. These robots’ main feature is the ability to work safely alongside humans, and now it seems human-robot collaboration is the most sought-after characteristic for robots. There’s a lot of talk about them on the web, but what are they really? Until now, robots have always been big, strong, robust devices that work on specific tasks which were designed for them. They’ve been kept in cages and surrounded by guards for safety purposes. Their bright color was used to warn surrounding workers about the danger they represented. And it took a lot of programming skills just to set up these robots. Collaborative robots, on the other hand, are designed to work with humans. They’re built with safety features such as integrated sensors, passive compliance, or overcurrent detection. The integrated sensors will feel external forces and, if this force is too high, lead the robot to stop its movement. Passive compliance is produced by mechanical components. If an external force acts on a joint, this joint will submit itself to this force. So, in the case of a collision, the joint will move in the opposite direction or stop completely to avoid causing injury. Most collaborative robots can be easily taught by demonstration, rather than requiring a deep knowledge of programming. Thanks to their ease of implementation and the fact that no additional safety features are required (no fences, switches, etc.), they can be brought on-line much more quickly.

In realizing sustained growth in Dimethly ether (DME) is a clean fuel that does not this region in the future, energy supply and environmen- produce toxic gases or particulate matter (PM) at burn- tal problems associated with mass energy consumption ing. JFE Group develops a direct synthesis process of will be major problems. High expectations are placed on DME which has advantages in economics. Construction dimethyl ether (DME) as a new fuel which can be syn- of a demonstration plant with 100 t/d capacity was fi n- thesized from diverse hydrocarbon sources, including ished in Nov. 2003. The fi rst demonstrating operation natural gas, can be handled as easily as liquefi ed petro- (Run 100) through Dec. 2003 to Jan. 2004 and the sec- leum gas (LPG), and causes a small load on the environ- ond operation (Run 200) through June 2004 to Aug. ment. Thus, if DME can be produced and distributed 2004 were completed successfully. The conversion of at low cost and in large quantities, this fuel can make synthesis gas, the selectivity to DME and the purity of an important contribution to solving the energy supply DME reached to 96% (Target: more than 95%), 93% problems and environmental problems resulting from (Target: more than 90%) and 99.6% (Target: more than expanded energy consumption expected in Asia in the 99%), respectively.
