Abstract: A good output state of sound is ensured without a cost increase. A speaker unit includes: a vibration plate; a magnetic circuit; a bobbin to which an inner peripheral portion of the vibration plate is attached and which is varied in an axial direction by the magnetic circuit; and a cap attached to the vibration plate and located to face the bobbin in the axial direction of the bobbin, in which a center axis of the bobbin is arranged in a state of being inclined with respect to a horizontal plane or a vertical plane, and the cap is formed in a shape eccentric to the center axis of the bobbin. Thus, since the cap is eccentric to the center axis in a state in which the center axis of the bobbin is inclined with respect to the horizontal plane or the vertical plane, it is possible to freely control a pointing direction in an inclined direction, good directivity characteristics can be obtained, and a good output state of sound can be ensured without a cost increase.

Abstract: A method for detecting HER2-positive cancer cells, comprising steps of: (a) fixing and then permeabilizing cells; (b) contacting a primary antibody that recognizes an intracellular epitope of HER2 with the cells and then contacting a secondary antibody that recognizes the primary antibody and is labeled with a fluorescent dye; and (c) irradiating the cells with excitation light for the fluorescent dye and detecting fluorescence emitted from the cells is provided. According to such a method, HER2-positive cancer cells can be detected with high sensitivity.

Abstract: A first power system supplies electric power to a first control circuit. A second power system supplies electric power to a load further on a downstream side than the second power system. A second control circuit receives the supplied electric power from a commercial power supply. In a power saving mode, a path switching section switches an electric power supply path to interrupt the electric power from the second power system to a cooling fan and supply electric power from an electricity storing section to the cooling fan.
