Abstract:
A map information system is provided which includes an electronic pen which reads a dot pattern in a form where map images are shown, to output handwriting information, and a processing unit including an association module which associates the output handwriting information with one of the map images where the handwriting information is written and stores it in a storage unit, a search module which searches for the associated handwriting information and map image using information to specify the map image as a search key, a pattern assignment module which when acquiring print request information including information to specify the map images to be printed, newly assigns a dot pattern, and an output instruction module which issues an output instruction so as to cause an output unit to visually output data including the retrieved associated handwriting information and map image and the newly assigned dot pattern.

Abstract:
A display method of measurement information of a biologically relevant material according to the invention displays measurement information on a computer screen when measuring the amount of a biologically relevant material of a test sample or the amount ratio of a biologically relevant material among a plurality of test samples with a microarray.
Abstract:
An object of the invention is to provide a quick, easy, and highly-sensitive method of detecting a substance to be analyzed, and to provide a method of supporting the analysis results by quantitativeness even if the amount of samples to be handled is a very small amount. The invention is a method of detecting a substance to be analyzed, including: measuring a intensity of a signal derived from a labeled substance to be analyzed, in a time series during an increase in the signal intensity; and representing the signal intensity by a function of time, and using the quantitative value of the signal intensity for when the slope of an approximated line of the measured signal intensity is within a range between 0.5 and 1.5 times the slope of the approximated line of the previously measured signal intensity.
Abstract:
An endoscopic therapeutic device includes an elongated insertion section which is inserted into a living body through a therapeutic device channel of an endoscope, a tubular puncture needle which is disposed at a distal end portion of the insertion section and is made to pierce a living body tissue, a syringe for sampling the living body tissue in a state in which the puncture needle pierces the living body tissue, and a freezing device for subjecting the living body tissue, which is collected by the syringe, to a process for analysis.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a gene examining apparatus utilizing a computer, the apparatus comprising (1) DNA microarrays in each of which a large number of fine liquid accommodating sections are two-dimensionally arranged so that openings of the fine liquid accommodating sections are located on the same plane, in which each of the liquid accommodating sections can three-dimensionally accommodate a liquid, and in which hybridization reaction occurs in the liquid accommodating section between a target nucleic acid already labeled with an optical marker substance and the nucleic acid probe, and (2) a microscope comprising a stage supporting the DNA microarrays set forth in (1), a temperature regulating section that regulates the temperature of each DNA microarray, and imaging means for picking up an image of an optical signal from the DNA microarray.
Abstract:
That invention provides a nucleic acid information detection method which, in a method wherein a target nucleic acid, and probes having a complementary sequence with at least a portion of the target nucleic acid sequence, are contacted with each other in order to form hybrids between the target nucleic acid and the probes, and the amount of signal generated depending on the amount of hybrids is measured in order to detect the information on the target nucleic acid, includes kinetically obtaining data of the signal. Furthermore the invention provides a nucleic acid information detection method which, in a method wherein a perfect matched probe having a perfect complementary sequence with respect to at least part of a target nucleic acid sequence, and one or more types of imperfectly matched probes having at least one part of the perfect matched probe mutated, are contacted with the target nucleic acid in order to hybridize between the target nucleic acid and the perfect matched probe, or the imperfect matched probes, so that the information on the target nucleic acid can be detected based on the difference in binding strength of the hybrids, includes kinetically obtaining data of the signal while changing continuously or stepwise the condition for measuring or detecting the signal from the hybrids.
