  • Patent number: 11985932
    Abstract: A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a non-natural plant in which expression of a gene of interest is induced and a method for producing the same. Particularly, the present invention relates to a non-natural plant in which the expression of the gene is stably induced even in the absence of a physical or chemical stimulus inducing the expression of the gene, and a method for producing the same. When the induction of the expression of the gene enhances a trait of a plant of interest, the present invention provides a non-natural plant in which the trait is enhanced and a method for producing the same. To solve the problem, a non-natural regenerated plant in which the expression of the gene is induced can be produced by forming a callus from a portion of the plant of interest and then subjecting the callus to a treatment by which the expression of the gene is induced.

  • Patent number: 11925458
    Abstract: A motion state monitoring system, a training support system, a motion state monitoring method, and a program capable of suitably managing measurement results according to an attaching direction of a sensor are provided. A motion state monitoring system according to the present disclosure monitors a motion state of a target part of a subject's body. The motion state monitoring system includes an acquisition unit, an attaching direction detection unit, and a control processing unit. The acquisition unit acquires sensing information of a sensor attached to the target part. The attaching direction detection unit detects an attaching direction of the sensor. The control processing unit outputs information related to the sensing information in association with the attaching direction.

  • Publication number: 20230288332
    Abstract: To accurately measure chromaticity and turbidity while achieving downsizing and employing a turbidity measurement method based on water quality standards of each country, an optical measurement includes a cell that accommodates a liquid sample, a transmitted light measurement light source that irradiates the liquid sample in the cell with light for transmittance, a scattered light measurement light source that irradiates the liquid sample in the cell with light for scattering, a photodetector that detects light from both sources, and a reflection mirror that reflects the light for transmittance in the cell to cause the light for transmittance to be directed to the photodetector. The scattered light measurement light source emits the light for scattering toward a post-reflection optical path of the light for transmittance reflected by the reflection mirror and directed to the photodetector so that the light for scattering intersects the post-reflection optical path at a predetermined angle.

  • Patent number: 10857762
    Abstract: It is provided that a polymer film; a preparation method of the polymer film; and a laminated body used the polymer film. The polymer film is suitable for use in producing a laminate body which comprises a support and a polymer film, and is reduced in foreign-matter trapping and which can be used for supplying film devices using conventional apparatuses for glass substrates or silicon substrates. The polymer film coated with the layer of silane coupling agent, which is suitable for producing a laminate that comprises a support and a polymer film, comprises a silane coupling agent layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer film, wherein the silane coupling agent layer has a three-dimensional surface roughness (Sa) of 5.0 nm or less. The method of efficient for producing the polymer film coated with the above layer is the method for producing without using a vacuum.

  • Patent number: 5282042
    Abstract: A strobe control method is provided for use in an image pick-up system which performs pseudo-frame photography by staggering, for a prescribed short period of time, the timings at which the photoelectric transducers of a first field and the photoelectric transducers of a second field are cleared in solid-state electronic image sensing devices, and staggering, between the first and second fields and for the aforementioned prescribed short period of time, the timings at which electric charges are read from these photoelectric transducers. The strobe control method includes steps of controlling strobe-light emission in such a manner that the start timing of strobe-light emission occurs after the processing for clearing both fields, and forcibly stopping strobe-light emission for a requisite period of time before charge readout timing of the first field.
