A high-performance optical-fiber fast termination component comprises a first ferrule body (1) and a second ferrule body (2) connected through a connecting piece (3). An inner hole is provided inside the first ferrule body (1) and the second ferrule body (2), respectively. A notch exposing the inner hole is provided at the central position of the second ferrule body (2). An interconnection platform (8) used for interconnecting an embedded optical-fiber (9) and an interconnecting optical-fiber (7) is formed at the notch. A pressing device used to press an optical-fiber interconnecting point (5) between the embedded optical-fiber (9) and the interconnection optical-fiber (8) is provided at the interconnection platform (8). The first ferrule body (1) and the second ferrule body (2) are implemented with ordinary ceramic ferrule bodies. The combination of the first ferrule body (1) and the second ferrule body (2) replaces ceramic ferrule bodies that require special fabrication, which not only guarantees that the high-performance optical-fiber fast termination component has desirable optical performance and high reliability, but also lowers the fabrication cost and enhances the universal performance of the high-performance optical-fiber fast termination component.

This disclosure provides methods for formulating compositions comprising one or more peptide proteasome inhibitors and a cyclodextrin, particularly a substituted cyclodextrin. Such methods substantially increase the solubility and stability of these proteasome inhibitors and facilitate both their manufacture and administration. Many peptide proteasome inhibitors have been shown to have low solubility in water.

In order to prevent oil leaks between a valve plate and a cylinder block more reliably without causing the support ends of a center shaft and the support ends of piston rods to separate from the end face of a drive shaft, a center shaft (90) is equipped with: an outer race (920), which is mounted in a shaft-mounting hole (41) of a cylinder block (40), and has a shaft-part-housing hole (921) on one end and a spring-housing hole (922) on the other end; and an inner shaft (910), which has at the tip of a shaft base part (911) a shaft support ball head part (912) having a large outer size, and which is mounted in the shaft-part-housing hole (921) of the outer race (920) by means of the shaft base part (911). With a compression spring (930) housed in the spring-housing hole (922), one end of the outer race (920) is mounted in the shaft-mounting hole (41) of the cylinder block (40), and the center shaft is supported in a tiltable manner on the end face of the drive shaft (30) by a retainer plate (100), via the shaft support ball head part (912) of the inner shaft (910).

This sintered cubic boron nitride tool (1) in which a sintered cubic boron nitride (2) is joined to a tool material (4) via a joining layer (3) is characterized in that: the sintered cubic boron nitride (2) comprises 30 volume% to 95 volume% of cubic boron nitride particles and 5 volume% to 70 volume% of a bonding phase (6); and in at least one of the cut surfaces when the sintered cubic boron nitride tool (1) is cut at a plane that is perpendicular to the joining surface between the sintered cubic boron nitride (2) and the joining layer (3) where the surface area of the joining surface is maximal, if the points which are at a distance that is one fourth of the length of the line segment connecting Point A to Point B in the figure are called Point C and Point D, the area of the region, which is bounded by the line segment connecting Point C to Point D, the first cubic boron nitride particle (7), the second cubic boron nitride particle (8), and the bonding phase (6), divided by the length of the line segment connecting Point A to Point B is 0.14 µm to 0.6 µm.

A fresh product disinfection and storage device and method for disinfecting the fresh product and maintaining freshness by contacting the fresh product with ozone gas and carbon dioxide gas in a gas mist state are provided. This fresh product disinfection and storage device is provided with a gas supply means (10) which supplies ozone gas, carbon dioxide gas or a mixture of these, a liquid supply means (20) which supplies a liquid, a gas mist generation means (30) which generates a gas mist by grounding and dissolving the gas and liquid supplied from the gas supply means (10) and the liquid supply means (20), a fresh product packaging bag (60) which internally accommodates the fresh product (100) and which forms a space in which the gas mist from the gas mist generation means (30) is sealed internally, and a means for removing the gas mist inside of the fresh product packaging bag (60). By contacting the fresh product (100) with ozone gas and carbon dioxide gas in a gas mist state, the fresh product (100) is disinfected and freshness is maintained.

A method of securing a blade in a blade ring comprising the following: When a blade is made a groove is milled in the blade body corresponding to the diameter of the circular profile of the securing wire, then a groove is turned in the blade ring with the diameter corresponding to the securing wire diameter, then starting openings are drilled and blade profiles are cut in the blade ring, then the blades with the milled grooves are inserted in the ring and finally the securing wire is placed in position resulting from winding a bar with circular profile into the circle shape.

A system and method for providing lawful interception (LI) data in voice calf continuity for telecommunication networks are disclosed. In one embodiment, the data associated with a registered telecommunication network user (i.e target user) coming from a first telecommunication network is intercepted by a VCC gateway. Further, the Intercepted data is sent to the LEA in a format desired by the LEA. Furthermore, the VCC getaway is configured based on a successful determination of network properties associated with the second telecommunication network upon the target user moving to the second telecommunication network. The second telecommunication network Is based on a technology that Is different from the first telecommunication network. In addition, the data associated with the target user coming from the second telecommunication network is continuously intercepted by the VCC gateway and continuously sent to the LEA by the VCC gateway in the format desired by the LEA.
