Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a technique to create novel engineered protein ligands that, when immobilized through a lysine residue (its side chain ε-amino group) which allows for efficient immobilization to a carrier, show the optimum binding capacity and binding efficiency to a target molecule. The present invention provides an engineered protein having a sequence obtained by replacing all the lysine residues in Protein A, which is the most typical protein ligand, with other amino acids, and adding lysine at a terminal; and an affinity separation matrix in which such an engineered protein is immobilized on a water-insoluble carrier by reductive amination or the like. This affinity separation matrix is characterized by its high binding capacity to a target molecule even when the immobilized amount of the ligand is small.
Abstract:
A main wing (1) on which a tensile load is exerted in a longitudinal direction includes a holed structural member that is a composite material made of fiber reinforced plastic which extends in the longitudinal direction and in which access holes (5) are formed and that serves as a center portion (3b); and a front portion (3a) and a rear portion (3c) that are composite materials made of fiber reinforced plastic which extend in the longitudinal direction of the main wing and which are connected to side portions of the center portion. The tensile rigidity of the center portion in the longitudinal direction is set to be lower than the tensile rigidity of the front portion and the rear portion in the longitudinal direction.
Abstract:
A touch panel system includes a touch panel having sense lines, and drive lines which intersect the sense lines and form capacitance with the sense lines, a touch panel controller for processing signals of the sense lines, and a drive line driving circuit for driving the drive lines in parallel. The touch panel controller includes a subtracting section for finding differences in signals between the sense lines adjacent to each other, a decoding section for calculating a distribution of differences between the capacitances by calculating an inner product of code sequences for driving the drive lines in parallel and difference output sequences which correspond to the code sequences, a touch detecting section for obtaining touch information based on the distribution of differences between the capacitances calculated by the decoding section, and a region setting section for setting an effective region in the touch panel based on the touch information.
Abstract:
A touch panel system (71a) includes a capacitance value distribution detection circuit (72). The capacitance value distribution detection circuit (72) switches a connection state between a first connection state and a second connection state, which first connection state makes first signal lines (HL1 to HLM) serve as drive lines (DL1 to DLM) and second signal lines (VL1 to VLM) serve as sense lines (SL1 to SLM), and which second connection state makes the second signal lines (VL1 to VLM) serve as the drive lines (DL1 to DLM) and the first signal lines (HL1 to HLM) serve as the sense lines (SL1 to SLM).

Abstract:
A composite material structure that can be made lighter in weight is provided, with the stress concentration at peripheral edge regions around holes being taken into consideration. A wing (1) that is a composite material structure is of a composite material that extends in one direction, has access holes (5) formed therein, and is made of fiber reinforced plastic. A lower surface outer plate (3) of the wing (1) is subjected to a tensile load in the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal tensile stiffness of peripheral edge regions (3a) around the access holes (5) is lower than the longitudinal tensile stiffness of other regions (3b) surrounding the peripheral edge regions (3a).

A kit for use in a method for detecting live cells, injured cells and dead cells of a microorganism in a test sample by a nucleic acid amplification method is disclosed. The kit includes a cross-linker capable of cross-linking DNA by irradiation with light having a wavelength of 350 nm to 700 nm, medium, and a primer (s) for amplifying a DNA target region in the microorganism by a nucleic acid amplification method. The nucleic acid amplification method may be a PCR, LAMP, SDA, LCR or DNA microarray method. A cross-linker may be included in the kit such as ethidium monoazide, ethidium diazide, psoralen, 4,5′,8-trimethyl psoralen, or 8-methoxy psoralen.

An object is to provide a main wing whose weight can be reduced, taking into consideration the stress concentration at circumferential edges of access holes. A main wing (1) on which a tensile load is exerted in a longitudinal direction includes a holed structural member that is a composite material made of fiber reinforced plastic which extends in the longitudinal direction and in which access holes (5) are formed and that serves as a center portion (3b); and a front portion (3a) and a rear portion (3c) that are composite materials made of fiber reinforced plastic which extend in the longitudinal direction of the main wing 1 and which are connected to side portions of the center portion (3b). The tensile rigidity of the center portion (3b) in the longitudinal direction is set to be lower than the tensile rigidity of the front portion (3a) and the rear portion (3c) in the longitudinal direction.
