Abstract: A method of manufacturing an optical element as defined herein, includes: coating, by an ink jet method, the part of the surface of the optical base member with an ink which contains a light blocking material containing the particles while sequentially shifting, by an interval of T, an area of the surface of the optical base member to be coated with the ink, to form the concave-convex shape of the light blocking layer on the part of the surface of the optical base member.

Abstract: A method for removing intra-microchannel bubbles, which removes bubbles occurring in a microchannel, is provided; the method including: allowing a liquid that contains bubbles and is introduced into a microchannel to flow in a first direction at a first flow speed at which the bubbles float upward and can remain adhered on an inner wall of the microchannel or less; and then allowing the liquid to flow in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction to move a gas-liquid interface of the liquid, which is a rear end of the liquid in the second direction, in the second direction at a second flow speed at which the bubbles adhered on the inner wall of the microchannel can maintain an adhesion position so as to collect the bubbles on the gas-liquid interface and make the bubbles disappear by exposing the bubbles to a gas.

Abstract: In the rare sugar strategy of Izumoring (FIG. 1), it is intended to establish a reaction system of producing rare sugars of many types by acquiring an isomerase which acts on various rare aldoses and, therefore, is most efficient in producing various rare ketoses. A DNA encoding the following protein (a) or (b). The above-mentioned DNA which is L-rhamnose isomerase derived from Pseudomonas stutzerii. A protein comprising the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:2. A process for producing a recombinant protein characterized by culturing a host cell containing an expression system that can express the above-mentioned protein in a medium and collecting a recombinant protein having an L-rhamnose isomerase activity from the thus obtained culture. A method of applying FIG.
