Abstract: A control apparatus (2000) computes a waiting time index value for each of a plurality of gates (20) for entering an area (10). The control apparatus (2000) detects, from among the plurality of gates (20), a first gate (20) and a second gate (20) of which relation between the waiting time index values satisfies a first criterion. Herein, the waiting time index value of the first gate (20) is greater than the waiting time index value of the second gate (20). The control apparatus (2000) causes a terminal (30) associated with the first gate (20) to output priority use information, which allows prioritized use of the second gate (20).

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel stereoselective method for preparing a cyclic dinucleotide derivative and a production intermediate therefor, which can be used for an antibody-immunostimulant conjugate. Also provided is a method for producing a cyclic dinucleotide-linker and an antibody-immunostimulant conjugate while using the above production method. Further provided is a method for preparing a cyclic dinucleotide derivative, the method including the step of subjecting a compound (I) and a compound (IV) to stereoselective condensation using an optically active phosphitylating agent (Rc-II) or (Sc-II).

Abstract: An electric discharge machine and an electric discharge machining method for the electric discharge machine are provided. The electric discharge machine includes a circulation pump for pressure-feeding a work fluid in a dirty fluid tank to a filter; a jetting pump for pressure-feeding the work fluid in the clean fluid tank to a jetting nozzle; a feeding pump for pressure-feeding the work fluid in the clean fluid tank to the work tank; and a pump controller for inverter-controlling the circulation pump, the jetting pump, and the feeding pump. The pump controller includes a jetting pump controller configured to set an inverter frequency of the jetting pump, and a feeding pump controller configured to acquire the flow rate of the inverter-controlled jetting pump and set an inverter frequency of the feeding pump based on the flow rate of the inverter-controlled jetting pump.

Abstract: An improved method for detecting antibodies is disclosed. The method employs a recombinant denatured bacterial enzyme. The invention also relates to a test kit useful for performing an immunoassay which comprises a container containing a denatured recombinant bacterial enzyme.

Abstract: A frame synchronizer for a television receiver in which the incoming television signal is digitized and stored in a memory, includes a circuit for generating a write-inhibit control signal for inhibiting the write-in of a digitized second television signal into the memory between the switchover from a first television signal to the second television signal and the beginning of a complete frame of the second television signal.
