  • Publication number: 20200256932
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic sensor that can reduce influences of a disturbance magnetic field while ensuring high detection sensitivity. The magnetic sensor includes a sensor chip 20 having an element formation surface 20S on which magnetic detection elements MR3, MR4 are formed, a first magnetic member 31 placed on the element formation surface 20S and having a first height H1 as a height from the element formation surface 20S, and a second magnetic member 32 located on an opposite side of the magnetic detection elements MR3, MR4 to the first magnetic member 31 and having a second height H2 lower than the first height H1. According to the present invention, because the height H2 of the second magnetic member 32 is lower than that of the first magnetic member 31, a detection magnetic field attracted to the second magnetic member 32 can be reduced while a disturbance magnetic field is shielded by the second magnetic member 32.

  • Publication number: 20170336413
    Abstract: A method of evaluating disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis with good sensitivity by a simple method, and a kit for use in the method. It provides a Jacalin-binding O-linked oligosaccharide epitope as a negative marker for diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis, and enables more accurate assessment of disease condition by more objectively determining disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis using the amount of variation of a value obtained by multiplying the amount of MMP-3 in the blood or the amount of bound MMP-3 and ABA, ACA, or ACG in the blood by the reciprocal of the amount of bound MMP-3 and Jacalin in the blood. Through the discovery that an LEL or STL-reactive sugar chain on MMP-3 in the blood is a sugar chain marker for diagnosing polymyalgia rheumatica and relapsing polychondritis, the present invention also provides a method for accurate diagnosis of polymyalgia rheumatica and relapsing polychondritis.

    Abstract: A timing adjustment circuit includes a voltage-controlled delay line, a phase detector, a control voltage generation circuit, and a startup circuit. The voltage-controlled delay line receives an input clock signal and generates multi-phase clocks, a delay amount of each of the multi-phase clocks is changed according to a control voltage. The phase detector detects a phase difference between a first clock and a second clock, the first clock is a reference, the second clock is generated from the voltage-controlled delay line. The control voltage generation circuit generates the control voltage on the basis of the detected phase difference. The startup circuit operates for a certain period after activation, and continuously changes the control voltage between a first voltage and a second voltage.
