Abstract: A ferroelectric layer (104) is sandwiched between a lower electrode layer (103) and an upper electrode (105). When a predetermined voltage (DC or pulse) is applied between the lower electrode layer (103) and the upper electrode (105) to change the resistance value of the ferroelectric layer (104) to switch a stable high resistance mode and low resistance mode, a memory operation is obtained. A read can easily be done by reading a current value when a predetermined voltage is applied to the upper electrode (105).

Abstract: A culturing apparatus has a culture vessel having a first elastic seal bonded on its upper surface and a culture space formed thereon, and a joint for supplying solution such as a medium to the culture vessel and a second elastic seal having microprojection formed at the lower face. The first elastic seal has a valve for supplying or discharging solution. The second elastic seal is formed with microprojection at the position corresponding to a valve for preventing a spill. The culture vessel and the joint are sucked between the first elastic seal and the second elastic seal, thereby forming an integral seeding device.

Abstract: To reduce the influence of inter-block interference even when the order number of the channel (physically corresponding to the impulse response length of the channel) is larger than the CP length. A receiver 20 for a transmission system using a block including a plurality of symbols, comprises a transfer function estimating part 21 which estimates a transfer function of a channel, and an inter-block interference component generating part 24 which generates a replica of an inter-block interference component from a previous block to a current block in accordance with the transfer function h estimated in the transfer function estimating part 21 and a received signal s(n?1) of the previous block, wherein the inter-block interference component of a received signal is reduced by using the replica of the inter-block interference component.

Abstract: To reduce the affections of noises having greater instantaneous powers than received signals. A receiver of block transmission scheme, in which signal blocks from a transmitting end are received and equalization is performed for each of the received signal blocks, comprises a local noise detecting unit detecting a local noise locally existing in a received signal block and having a greater amplitude than the signals; a local noise eliminating unit generating a local-noise-eliminated received signal block in which the signals in the range where the local noise is existent within the received signal block have been eliminated together with the local noise; and an equalizer that performs an equalization based on the local-noise-eliminated received signal block.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for producing fry, which comprises cooking with an oil composition containing at least 15% by weight of diglycerides as a frying oil, wherein the content of nitrogen in at least 5 liters of the oil composition is kept to 0.2% by weight or lower. The method permits repeatedly producing fry good in appearance and flavor without causing coloring of an oil and emission of offensive odor in fry workshops, daily dish shops, eating houses, restaurants, etc. where fry is mass-produced over a long period of time using a diglyceride-containing oil composition having an effect to reduce the accumulation of body fat to prevent obesity.

Abstract: The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cultured cell sheet that expresses phenotypes of the chondroid tissue. The problems can be solved by producing the cultured cell sheet in which cells are cultured on a surface of a cell culture support that is coated with a temperature responsive polymer having an upper or lower critical solution temperature ranging from 0° C. to 80° C. in water, including steps of: adjusting the temperature of the culture medium to a temperature below the lower critical solution temperature or above the upper critical solution temperature; bringing the cultured cell sheet in close contact with the carrier; and detaching the cultured cell sheet together with the carrier.

Abstract: A vehicle power source includes a number of battery modules in a first layer on one end side in a battery module laminating direction which is smaller than the number of battery modules in a fourth layer on an other end side. A cooling-air supply port is opened over the entire region in the laminating direction of the battery modules, an air-introduction guide is provided on the downstream side in the cooling-air flow direction, and a coolant discharge port is opened at a position closer to the fourth layer side. A flow from the first layer side to the fourth layer side is formed on the downstream side in the cooling-air flow direction so as to efficiently cool the battery modules difficult to be cooled.

Abstract: A joint made between prestressing strands with a prestressing strand coupler is covered with a transparent coupler sheath having a retarded-hardening resin filling material injection opening and discharge opening provided in a tube wall thereof, and a resin filling material is injected into the transparent coupler sheath from the injection opening to fill the coupler sheath with the filling material. Thereafter, the whole outer peripheral portion of the prestressing strand joint, including the coupler sheath, is embedded with placed concrete. Tension is applied to the prestressing strands after the concrete has hardened and before the resin filling material hardens, thereby completing an excellent prestressing strand joint structure. According to the present invention, the filling condition of the resin filling material in the coupler sheath around the prestressing strand joint can readily be confirmed by visual observation.
