摘要:
Disclosed are a phenylboronic acid monomer and a phenylboronic acid polymer, each of which can have a pKa value suitable for the use under physiological environments and can be used for various applications. The pheanylboronic acid monomer has a structure represented by formula (13) and therefore has high hydrophilicity, can have a satisfactorily low pKa value when the phenyl ring is fluorinated, and can have a polymerizable unsaturated bond. The phenylboronic acid monomer has high hydrophilicity at a pKa value of 7.4 or less which is a physiological level, and can be polymerized with a wide variety of monomers to produce polymers suitable for the intended purposes.

Provided are a sensing device and a biosensor that are capable of achieving stable performance in sensing saccharides or hydroxyl group-containing polymers, and that can be stored for a long time. The biosensor 8 of the present invention uses, as a component for sensing glucose, a sensing device 16 in which a completely synthetic phenylboronic acid compound 21 is bound without using enzymes that have been conventionally used. Consequently, the biosensor 8 can eliminate the problem of protein denaturation to achieve stable performance in sensing glucose, and it is possible to achieve the biosensor 8 can be stored for a long time.

摘要:
A DC power supply system and a control method, which can continue charging of a storage battery with a constant current even if an assist current is needed due to, for example, overload during charging of the storage battery and can suppress a current output from the storage battery as much as possible. In a power supply system, when a charger operates at a potential of an output voltage smaller than the potential of the output voltage of a rectifier during charging of the storage battery, the output current of the charger is controlled so that a charging current Ie supplied from the charger to the storage battery is kept at a predetermined value, and when a load requires a current larger than the current supplied by the rectifier during charging of the storage battery, the potential of the output voltage of the rectifier is reduced smaller than the potential of the output voltage of the charger by a current drooping operation, and the diode is electrically connected, the output current of the charger is controlled so that the charger outputs the assistant current Ic supplied toward the load while the charging current Ie is kept at a predetermined value.

摘要:
A digital compensation phase locked loop circuit of a semiconductor device includes a phase locked loop circuit including a voltage controlled oscillator having capacitors at oscillation nodes and consecutively controlled by an applied voltage, and a digital compensation circuit which variably controls the capacitors at the oscillation nodes of the voltage controlled oscillator in accordance with an input phase difference. A gain of the conventional voltage controlled oscillator whose gain is determined by an applied voltage is discretely changed by a control signal of the digital compensation circuit. The digital compensation circuit dynamically controls the gain so as to secure the optimum phase margin by applying a load (capacitor) to the oscillation node of the voltage controlled oscillator with respect to a phase lead and decreasing the load (capacitor) with respect to a phase delay.
