Abstract: A turbocharger includes a first housing configured to house a turbine impeller, a second housing configured to rotatably support a rotating shaft to which the turbine impeller is fixed, and a variable capacity mechanism configured to surround the turbine impeller and to guide a fluid to the turbine impeller. The variable capacity mechanism has a nozzle ring that faces the second housing. A first pin and a second pin extend between the second housing and the nozzle ring and are attached to one of the second housing and the nozzle ring. The other of the second housing and the nozzle ring is provided with a first guide in which an end portion of the first pin is disposed and a second guide in which an end portion of the second pin is disposed.

Abstract: A weight measuring device which allows an accurate measurement of a weight of a pet is realized. A pet toilet (1) includes a first weight scale (21) configured to measure a weight of an excretion of an animal and a second weight scale (22) configured to measure a weight of the animal.

Abstract: A mobile telecommunications device having a wireless transmitter unit that can be set to a transmit-disabled mode in which all wireless transmission is disabled. The mobile telecommunications device includes accepting means for accepting call request operations from a user and releasing means for, when the transmit-disabled mode is set, responding to acceptance of a call request operation by releasing the tr ansmit-disabled mode and causing the wireless transmitter unit to conduct wireless transmission based on the accepted call request operation.

Abstract: A method for purifying nucleic acids or proteins comprising a plurality of piston pumps; and a plurality of nozzles capable of having a plurality of disposable tips which are automatically attachable/detachable. The apparatus includes a mechanism for mixing a liquid mixture of each sample and a reagent in a plurality of sections of a container by sucking up a plurality of the mixtures into tips, followed by discharging the mixtures in the sections simultaneously. The apparatus also includes a mechanism for dispensing a desired amount of a reagent to be used subsequently into the same number of sections of a different container as samples, while the mixing is in progress.

Abstract: A device for dispensing liquid comprising a drive system having a motor-driven pipet member capable of liquid sucking and discharging that can be moved along orthogonal coordinates defined by three axes, i.e., lateral, horizontal and vertical axes, characterized by comprising another drive system that allows the work area of the motor-driven pipet member or the tip portion to move outside of the area that can be moved to using the orthogonal coordinates.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for purifying nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA or proteins such as enzymes and antibodies from microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria or animal and plant tissues, the apparatus being capable of fast processing of a plurality of samples.

Abstract: A mobile telecommunications device whose wireless transmitter unit that can be set to a transmit-disabled mode in which all wireless transmission is disabled is provided.

Abstract: A method for analyzing an objective substance, comprising reacting a labeled probe with an objective substance on a biological sample, said probe comprising a label substance of the formula (I): wherein A1 is an aromatic group, R1 is a hydrogen or —COCH2COCnF2n+1 and n is an integer of 1-6, which is bonded to a probe selected from the group consisting of nucleic acid, nucleic acid binding protein, low molecular ligand and receptor for ligand (except antibody) to give a fluorescent complex, reacting the complex with an objective substance on a biological sample and assaying fluorescence of the resultant fluorescent complex, a labeled nucleic acid probe and a labeled nucleotide. According to the method of the present invention, defects such as hindrance of fluorescence due to contaminant substance, low sensitivity and the like can be resolved, thereby enabling analysis on a tissue.
