Abstract: Disclosed by the invention are an immunoassay kit and an immunoassay method for detecting highly pathogenic avian influenza virus subtype H5N1 rapidly, conveniently and specifically. Also disclosed are an immunochromatographic detection kit and an immunochromatographic detection method for detecting the virus subtype H5N1 rapidly, conveniently and specifically. It is found that a monoclonal antibody 4G6 produced by using the virus subtype H5N1 as an immunogen does not react with the subtype H5N2 virus or a subtype H5N3 virus and reacts only with a subtype H5N1 virus specifically. It is also found that only an avian influenza virus subtype H5N1 can be detected specifically by an immunoassay utilizing the monoclonal antibody 4G6.

Abstract: A cache-status maintaining unit stores address information of data stored in each entry of a cache memory, and maintains a status of each entry as any one of “strongly modified”, “weakly modified”, “shared”, and “Invalid”. A data-fetching-procedure selecting unit selects, upon receiving a data read request, at least one data fetching procedure based on the address information and the status. A read-data delivering unit selects latest data from among the data fetched, and delivers the latest data to a processor that issued the data read request. A cache-status updating unit updates, when registering the address information of the data, updates the status of the entry based on a type of the data read request.

Abstract: In order to carry out relatively accurate AF control while eliminating the adverse effect on a reproduced moving picture, a subject is imaged every 1/30 seconds, so that subject images are obtained. Image data representing the subject images respectively corresponding to odd-numbered frames are recorded on a memory card as image data representing the moving picture. At timing where the subject images respectively corresponding to even-numbered frames are obtained by the imaging, auxiliary light is irradiated onto the subject. A high-frequency component is extracted from the image data representing each of the subject images respectively corresponding to even-numbered frames, so that focusing data representing the degree of focusing of the subject image is obtained. Since the subject image used for focusing control is bright, focusing control can be carried out relatively accurately.
