An imaging apparatus includes a pixel unit, an amplifying transistor, and a control unit. The pixel unit includes a first photoelectric conversion unit generating a first charge based on incident light of a first color, a second photoelectric conversion unit generating a second charge based on incident light of the first color, and a third photoelectric conversion unit generating a third charge based on incident light of a second color. The amplifying transistor is provided in common to the first to third photoelectric conversion units, and outputs a signal based on the first, second, and third charges generated by the first, second, and third photoelectric conversion units, respectively. The control unit sets the pixel unit to a selected state or a non-selected state according to an electric potential of a control terminal of the amplifying transistor.

To provide a simple and low-invasive method for obtaining information on a biorhythm of an individual organism. Provided is a method for obtaining information on a biorhythm of an individual organism based on variations over time in an expression level of a clock gene in a hair follicle cell of the individual organism. According to this method, a phase shift of the biorhythm of the individual organism can be detected by preparing a plurality of times about the individual organism and conducting a collation. Further, a phase shift of the biorhythm of the individual organism can also be detected by collating an expression level of the clock gene at a predetermined time with the molecular clock table.

A bead set is composed of plural subsets of beads. The beads in each subset are each provided with a surface permitting immobilization thereon of a substance that takes part in a predetermined corresponding reaction or interaction. The individual beads in the beat set are provided with different physical elements, respectively, such that the individual beads in the bead can be distinguished into the plural subsets through an analysis of captured images of the individual beads in the bead set by a computer.

Disclosed herein is a method and apparatus for determining the base sequence of a nucleic acid molecule by cleaving a nucleic acid molecule of interest while controlling the cleavage site, measuring the change in mass which occurs in the nucleic acid molecule after the cleavage step, and acquiring the base information of the cleaved nucleic acid molecule from the data about the change in mass. The method and apparatus are based on the principle which is entirely different from that used for the conventional technique.

A method for inspecting a quality of a sensor chip using either of (1) and (2) indicated below as a judgment index is provided: (1) interrelations of a plurality of circadian rhythm control genes in respect of expression level thereof; and (2) time-lapse patterns of specified circadian rhythm control genes in respect of expression level thereof. A method of evaluating whether sampling and preparation of a sample to be subjected to detection of interaction between substances is proper is also provided wherein (1) or (2) defined above is used as a judgment index. DNA and protein chips useful for the methods are also provided.
摘要:
A biological signal measuring equipment used in a measurement of a biological signal in a head portion, has a jaw contact portion that comes into contact with a forehead; an occiput contact portion that comes into contact with an occiput; and a supporter that is interposed in a front and rear direction of the head portion and is supported by the head portion by using the jaw contact portion and the occiput contact portion as ends. The biological signal measuring equipment performs the measurement in the same manner as the case of measuring a wave motion of a short period, even in the case of measuring the wave motion of a long period generated in a head portion.
