Abstract: A monocycle, includes a wheel, a pedal, a frame portion, a saddle portion, a handle portion, and a braking unit. The wheel includes a rim having a tire, an axle arranged at a center portion of the rim, and a connecting piece for connecting the rim and the axle. The pedal can be driven to rotate the axle of the wheel. The frame portion is pivotably fixed with the axle on one end side thereof. The saddle portion is connected to the other end side of the frame portion. The handle portion is slidably and fixably connected to the other end side of the frame portion such that handle shafts of the handle portion can be slid to a position below the axle to form a stand with a bottom of the wheel. The braking unit can manually brake the wheel.

Abstract: A fire alarm device and method capable of informing people with visual and hearing difficulties of occurrence of fire. A fire detection means (1) detecting the occurrence of fire is connected to an emission control means (4). A smell emitting means (9) activated by the emission control means 4 is also connected to the emission control means (4). The fire detection means (1) activates the emission control means (4) when detecting the occurrence of fire. The emission control means (4) is provided with a smell condition-setting means so as to set starting time for continuously-emitted smell, and to set emission periods, emission intervals and emission concentrations for intermittently-emitted smell. The smell emitting means (9) will be activated in accordance with the conditions set by the smell condition-setting means.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a diagnostic sensor and a diagnostic system capable of easily detecting abnormality in a human body by a simple apparatus without using a conventional testing method of removing a part of tissues and/or taking blood, which gives pain to the patient, and examining the part of tissues and/or blood under a microscope for long time. A diagnostic sensor of the present invention includes: detecting means (2) for detecting any of various pathogens existing in a part of a living body and/or body fluid of the living body or a gas emitted from the living body, or an antigen (S) or ligand corresponding to abnormality or disease; and signal generating means (semiconductor integrated circuit 1) for generating a signal when the detecting means (2) detects any of the pathogens, antigen (S), or ligand.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a clothes holding device which is easily assembled (formed) as a clothes holding device (for example, a hanger), and which is compact, light-weighted, and convenient for packaging and conveyance, and further, which has an interior function for use as an interior material. The present invention provides a device comprising a plate member (10, 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D, 10E, 10F) having flexibility, wherein the plate member is bent on the symmetrical axis (X-axis or Y-axis), and clothes are held with a bent portion (13). In a status where the clothes are not held, the clothes holding device of the present invention is assimilated with the surface of a wall plane (W), and grasped as a part of interior. Upon holding of clothes, a vertical-directional lower area (14B) is bent along the horizontal axis (X), and the bent portion (13) and the remaining portion (14T) hold clothes.

Abstract: There is provided a monocycle provided with a handle portion, enabling to apply brake and enabling to carry out a variety of play capable of dealing with jumping or the like by providing a suspension at a wheel. The monocycle 1 is provided with a wheel 3 constituted by a rim 32 of a predetermined diameter having a tire 31, an axle 33 arranged at a center portion of the rim 32, and a connecting piece 34 for connecting the rim 32 and the axle 33, pedals 5, 5 capable of driving to rotate the axle 33 of the wheel 3, a frame portion 7 pivotably fixed with the axle 33 at one end side thereof, a handle portion 9 connected to a base portion 72 of the frame portion 7, and a saddle portion 11 connected to the base portion 72 of the frame portion 7. The handle portion 9 is slidably and fixably provided at the base portion 72 of the frame portion 7. The handle portion 9 and a saddle 113 of the saddle portion 11 are arranged at a predetermined angle therebetween.

Abstract: A “watermark” technology in which not only can a “watermark” be applied to an object without requiring a sophisticated technology or a large cost and be utilized as an aid to authentication by applying the “watermark” widely to general tangible goods but also the five senses of human can not sense that “watermark” itself is put on is provided. At least one kind of material (substrate, for example, hydrogen peroxide, lactic acid, choline) is applied to an object as “watermark”, whether or not the material is diffusing from the object is detected by a detecting unit (biosensor) using a biomaterial (for example, enzyme), and whether or not the material has been applied to the object is determined from the detection result.
