  • Publication number: 20180238867
    Abstract: The present invention provides a new detection device and a target detection method using the same. The detection device of the present invention includes a transistor provided with a nucleic acid sensor. The nucleic acid sensor includes a conformation-forming region (D) that forms a predetermined conformation and a binding region (A) that binds to a target. In the absence of the target, the conformation-forming region (D) is inhibited from forming the conformation. In the presence of the target, upon contact of the target to the binding region (A), the conformation-forming region (D) forms the conformation. In a state where the conformation is formed, the number of nucleotide residues that compose the nucleic acid sensor within a range of Debye length of the transistor increases or decreases as compared to a state where formation of the conformation is inhibited.

  • Publication number: 20180165174
    Abstract: The present invention can provide a technology for presenting information that indicates contents and trends of many messages without a need to define a portion that varies among the messages in advance. A message analysis apparatus is provided with a clustering unit, a field analysis unit, and a pattern generation unit. The clustering unit classifies a message set that is an aggregation of messages each being formed of one or more fields, into a cluster, based on similarity among the messages. The field analysis unit identifies, in each of fields that form a message group in the cluster, a variable portion in which a value in the field varies and an invariable portion in which a value in the field does not vary. The pattern generation unit generates a message pattern being common to the message group in the cluster, based on the variable portion and the invariable portion.
