Abstract:
A body fat diagnostic apparatus, with which a change in the velocity of ultrasonic waves can be measured and fat can be diagnosed while suppressing the effects of a periodical change due to respiration and heartbeats of a subject, is formed of: a process unit for sequentially acquiring ultrasonic wave echo signals for a number of frames so as to form a group of B mode images; a data storage unit for storing the ultrasonic wave echo signals corresponding to the groups of B mode images; a sampling unit for sampling one frame as a standard image and another frame as a comparative image through the calculation of a cross correlation; and a velocity change analyzing unit for forming an image by calculating a change in the velocity of ultrasonic waves on the basis of the ultrasonic wave echo signals corresponding to the standard image and the comparative image.
Abstract:
A small-sized power factor measurement apparatus capable of measuring a power factor by one element is desired. The power factor measurement apparatus includes a pair of coupling ends (12) for coupling to a power supply in parallel with a load, two magnetic elements (21, 22) whose changes in electric resistance are different from each other due to the same external magnetic field, a pair of measurement terminals (13) for outputting a differential voltage between the two magnetic elements, a power factor sensor (10) including a pair of sensor terminals (10t) connected to the pair of coupling ends (12), a voltage detector (15) for measuring a voltage between the measurement terminals (13), a low-pass filter (16) connected to the output of the voltage detector (15), a high-pass filter (17) connected to the output of the voltage detector (15), a rectifier (18) connected to the high-pass filter (17), and a divider (19) for dividing the output of the low-pass filter (16) and the output of the rectifier (18).

Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to develop and provide a nucleic acid molecule that can specifically and efficiently inhibit the activity of a target RNAi molecule and can be produced safely at a low cost. Provided is a nucleic acid molecule for inhibiting the activity of a target RNAi molecule. The nucleic acid molecule comprises a single-stranded nucleic acid moiety that contains one unmodified DNA region composed of a nucleotide sequence completely or sufficiently complementary to a nucleotide sequence of a functional strand having the activity in the target RNAi molecule and a double-stranded nucleic acid moiety to be linked to at least one of the 5′-end and the 3′-end of the single-stranded nucleic acid moiety.
Abstract:
Provided are an improved double-stranded nucleic acid molecule involved in gene expression control mediated by a gene silencing mechanism, a method of producing the molecule, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the double-stranded nucleic acid molecule. The double-stranded nucleic acid molecule for gene expression control comprises an antisense strand having a length of 18 to 28 nucleotides and a sense strand including a complementary moiety composed of a sequence sufficiently complementary to the antisense strand and a protruding single-stranded 5′-end moiety having a length of 2 to 100 nucleotides. The sense strand and the antisense strand form base pairs via the complementary moiety. The method produces such a double-stranded nucleic acid molecule, and the pharmaceutical composition contains such a double-stranded nucleic acid molecule as an active ingredient.
Abstract:
A fatigue degree determination device includes a fatigue degree determination unit. A first biological heart rate is acquired while a user is awake and at rest, based on a biological heart rate measured from the user. A second biological heart rate is acquired while the user is sleeping, based on the biological heart rate measured from the user. The fatigue degree determination unit determines a fatigue degree of the user, based on information read out from a storage medium, the first biological heart rate and the second biological heart rate. The storage medium stores the information in which a degree of change of one biological heart rate relative to the other biological heart rate of a biological heart rate while a person is awake and at rest and a biological heart rate while the person is sleeping and a fatigue degree are associated with each other.
Abstract:
The packing has one or more thin-layer packing elements that are installed upright, the packing element having a main body portion with a planar liquid film formation surface, and one or more wall portions that are provided upright relative to the liquid film formation surface along a linear direction. The side surface of each wall portion has a curved portion at the base thereof connected to the liquid film formation surface, the curved portion curbing so as to continue into the liquid film formation surface.
