Abstract: A motor includes a pressing member pressing a vibrator onto a contacting member, first and second holding members respectively holding the vibrator and a transmission member, which transmits pressing force by the pressing member to the vibrator, and a coupling member coupling the first and second holding members. The vibrator and the contacting member move by vibrations occurring in the vibrator. The coupling member includes a rolling member moving the first and second holding members in a pressing direction of the pressing member, and an urging member, which is held by the second holding member, urging the first and second holding members in parallel with a moving direction of the vibrator and the contacting member. The rolling member is sandwiched between the first and second holding members, and abuts against the first holding member on a center side of the vibrator in the moving direction.

Abstract: Described herein are small peptide domains and consensus sequences that bind small target molecules of industrial importance, e.g., metals such as nickel, ? carotene, and isoflavones such as genistein. Also described are fusion proteins containing such binding domains fused to proteins or to peptide domains like GST or CBD that bind other ligands and can be used to immobilize the target binding domain on a support. One class of fusion proteins that is useful in industrial settings are fusions that contain concatemers of target binding domains, which increases the binding equivalents per molecule.

Abstract: A front cover and a rear cover are engaged to form an internal space. An LED is mounted on a main board, and it is laid over an antenna within the space in a thickness direction of the front cover and the rear cover that are engaged. A light guiding member is provided on the side surface of the front cover and the rear cover that are engaged, and it receives the light, generated by the LED, and emits light to outside. A side shielding member and a back shielding member protrude from the front cover toward the optical path between the LED and the light guiding member so as to shield the optical path from the LED toward the light guiding member.
