Publication number: 20210395880Abstract: The deposition apparatus includes a chamber including a deposition space, a stage that supports a substrate, a light source, a gas supply, and a heater. The light source includes an emission source that emits an energy ray and is disposed to face the deposition space. The gas supply includes a shower plate and a gas diffusion space. The shower plate includes a first surface that faces the light source, a second surface that faces the stage, and a plurality of through-holes that penetrates the first surface and the second surface, the shower plate allowing the energy ray to transmit therethrough. The gas diffusion space faces the first surface and diffuses raw material gas including an energy ray-curable resin that cures when the energy ray-curable resin is irradiated with the energy ray. The gas supply supplies the raw material gas into the deposition space from the gas diffusion space. The heater heats the first surface of the shower plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2019Publication date: December 23, 2021Inventors: Yuko KATO, Takahiro YAJIMA, Fumio NAKAMURA, Yoshinobu UE, Shogo OGURA

Patent number: 10443085Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detecting a nucleic acid using a substance that suppresses, in the labeling step of the post-staining method, detachment of a target nucleic acid that has once hybridized with a capture probe immobilized on a support, which method enables detection of the target nucleic acid with a sensitivity equivalent to or higher than that achieved by a method using sodium ion even in cases where the substance is used at a lower concentration. The method for detecting a nucleic acid comprises the steps of: (1) hybridizing a capture probe with a target nucleic acid to form a double-stranded nucleic acid; bringing the formed double-stranded nucleic acid into contact with a solution containing a labeling substance and a divalent metal cation at a concentration of not less than 10 mM to introduce the labeling substance into the double-stranded nucleic acid; and detecting the labeling substance introduced into the double-stranded nucleic acid.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2013Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: TORAY INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Fumio Nakamura, Yoji Ueda, Takafumi Arike

Publication number: 20190187797Abstract: In a display manipulation apparatus, a boundary line is defined around a detection target image to partition an inner area and an outer area. Under tracing manipulation in which a finger is moved continuously to trace two or more detection target images, in response to that a moving speed of the finger is equal to or less than a predetermined speed, a control circuit controls a vibration generator to be in an actuated state each time the finger passes through a position of the boundary line, whereas in response to that the moving speed is greater than the predetermined speed, the control circuit controls the vibration generator to be in a de-actuated state either (i) when the finger passes through a position of the boundary line and enters the inner area, or (ii) when the finger passes through a position of the boundary line and exits to the outer area.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2017Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventor: Fumio NAKAMURA
