Abstract: The Phase Locked Loop circuit of this invention has both a short locking time and a stable operation. This Phase Locked Loop circuit has two phase comparators. The inputs to these two comparators are a reference signal Vf and a feedback signal Vc. The first phase comparator has two separate outputs depending on the phase difference &dgr; between the signals Vf and Vc. The first output is a signal up1 when &dgr; is smaller than −&tgr;1, and the second output is a signal dn1 when &dgr; is larger than −&tgr;1. The second phase comparator also has two outputs depending on the phase difference &dgr; between the signals Vf and Vc. The first output is a signal up2 when &dgr; is smaller than −&tgr;2 (&tgr;2>&tgr;1), and the second output is a signal dn2 when &dgr; is larger than &tgr;2. The signals up1 and up2 are output when the &dgr; has positive polarity and large absolute value. When &dgr; has positive polarity and a small absolute value, only signal up1 is output.

Abstract: When an unlock switch 3 of a transmitter 1 is operated, a random number is generated. A transmitter-end CPU 6 conducts a calculation in accordance with a specified operational expression using the presently generated random number, and the calculation result is renewably stored in a transmitter-end storage 7. Then, an unlock data including an identification code, a calculation result code representative of the calculation result stored in the transmitter-end storage 7 before renewal, and a constant code representative of the presently generated random number is transmitted. On the other hand, in a receiver 11, a calculation is conducted in accordance with the same operational expressed as used in the transmitter 1 using the random number represented by the constant code of the presently received data, and the calculation result is renewably stored.

Abstract: Disclosed is an antitumorigenic protein derived from fruit bodies of matsutake mushrooms (Tricholoma matsutake). Also disclosed is a method of preparing the antitumorigenic protein comprising extracting fruit bodies of matsutake mushrooms with water followed by subjecting the resulting extract to purification composed of combination of the following three purifying steps in any desired order:(1) a step of purifying the protein by molecular sieve chromatography in a gel permeation column;(2) a step of bringing the extract in contact with an anion exchange resin so that the protein is adsorbed to the resin followed by eluting the protein from the column of the resin with an eluent; and(3) a step of bringing the extract in contact with a hydrophobic chromatographic resin so that the protein is adsorbed to the resin followed by eluting the protein from the column of the resin with an eluent.
