Abstract:
Chondroitin is produced by culturing a UDP-glucuronic acid-producing bacterium transfected with a kfoA gene derived from Escherichia coli K4 strain and a kfoC gene derived from Escherichia coli K4 strain and having chondroitin-producing ability. Chondroitin is collected from the bacterium.
Abstract:
A flexible LCD (2) is a flexible display. The flexible LCD (2) is pulled out from an upper cabinet to change a display area of the flexible LCD (2). An amount-of-sliding detecting section (4) measures the pullout amount (amount of sliding) of the flexible LCD (2) when the flexible LCD (2) is pulled out from a mobile terminal unit (1) or is retracted into the mobile terminal unit (1). A display controller (3) causes the flexible LCD (2) to display in a manner responsive to the amount of sliding that is measured by the amount-of-sliding detecting section (4). The foregoing makes it possible to utilize effectively the display having a display area that is revealed when the display is pulled out.
Abstract:
An antibody that reacts with 2-O-desulfated acharan sulfate, a hybridoma that produces the antibody, a detection method and a detection kit to which the antibody is applied are disclosed. The antibody that reacts with 2-O-desulfated acharan sulfate can be produced by immunizing a mammal using as an antigen a substance obtained by chemically bonding a protein to 2-O-desulfated acharan sulfate.
Abstract:
A meter device includes an indicator unit, movably supported within a predetermined range, for representing an amplitude value of an input signal by a movement amount Δθ from a reference position θ0 which is one end of the predetermined range. A gain acquiring unit acquire a gain of the input signal; and a maximum movement amount determining part determines a maximum movement amount ΔθM of the indicator unit at the gain based on the gain acquired by the gain acquiring unit. A drive control unit moves the indicator unit to a position corresponding to the amplitude value of the input signal between the reference position θ0 and a maximum movement position θM moved from the reference position θ0 by the maximum movement amount ΔθM based on the maximum movement amount ΔθM determined by the maximum movement amount determining part and the amplitude value of the input signal.
Abstract:
The present invention is a method of optimizing a process recipe of a substrate processing system including: a substrate processing apparatus that performs a film deposition process of a substrate to be processed according to a process recipe; a data processing unit that executes a calculation for optimizing the process recipe; and a host computer; the substrate processing apparatus, the data processing unit, and the host computer being connected to each other through a network. The present invention includes the steps of: measuring a film thickness of a substrate to be processed that has been subjected to a film deposition process by the substrate processing apparatus; sending a command for conducting a process-recipe optimizing process from the host computer to the substrate processing apparatus, when the measured film thickness is deviated from a target film thickness and the deviation is beyond an allowable range; and in response to the command for conducing a process-recipe optimizing process from the host computer, sending required data from the substrate processing apparatus to the data processing unit, causing the data processing unit to execute a process-recipe optimizing calculation to calculate an optimum process recipe for achievement of the target film thickness, and updating the process recipe in the substrate processing apparatus based on the calculated result.
Abstract:
A semiconductor light-emitting device has a semiconductor light-emitting element for emitting light with emission wavelengths of 390 to 420 nm, wherein the wavelengths of light from the semiconductor light-emitting element are converted by a fluorescent substance having a monochromatic emission peak. The emission wavelengths of 390 to 420 nm, which have almost no adverse effect on human bodies and components of the semiconductor light-emitting device, are in a low human visibility range. Since light whose wavelengths are converted by the fluorescent substance are hardly affected by direct light from the semiconductor light-emitting element, light from the fluorescent substance has a favorable color tone. Also, the semiconductor light-emitting device allows desired luminous colors to be obtained only by changing fluorescent substance materials without changing the structure of the semiconductor light-emitting device or the semiconductor light-emitting element.
