  • Patent number: 11126253
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a main circuit including a processor, a sub circuit that transits between a first state and a second state, and a power supply circuit that supplies electric power to the main circuit and the sub circuit. An electrical distance between the main circuit and the power supply circuit is shorter than an electrical distance between the main circuit and the sub circuit. When the processor determines to cause the sub circuit to transit from the second state to the first state, the processor increases electric power supplied from the power supply circuit to the sub circuit. The sub circuit transits from the second state to the first state in response to increase of the electric power supplied from the power supply circuit.

  • Patent number: 9068193
    Abstract: This invention is intended to be used to search for a transcription factor having novel functions of increasing the weight of an individual plant, increasing the weight of a given tissue per individual plant, or improving the productivity of a given substance per individual plant and to improve such properties in the plant. The weight of an individual plant is increased, the weight of a given tissue per individual plant is increased, the productivity of a given substance per individual plant is improved, or the content of a given substance per given tissue of a plant is increased via expression of a transcription factor that has been modified to suppress transcription accelerating activity.

  • Patent number: 9030681
    Abstract: A scanner unit changes a first wire included in a pair of wires in Low condition into High condition, sets another second wire in Low condition during the change, and identifies whether a CISM coupled with a resistor is or a CISM coupled with no resistor is by inputting a signal from the second wire afterward. Further, the controller changes the first wire in High condition into Low condition, sets the second wire in High condition during the change, and identifies the CISM by inputting a signal from the second wire. The scanner unit sets the second wire in condition before being changed while changing condition of the first wire so as to prevent an effect of a signal (crosstalk) caused when the condition of the first wire is changed more effectively.
