Abstract: A method of assessing a probe by measuring a known sample whose shape is known with the probe in an electronic microscope, the known sample having a projection part on a surface thereof, and the projection part having a shape tapered toward a vertex thereof, the method comprising a step of measuring circle equivalent radius of the projection part, a step of comparing the circle equivalent radius with a first threshold value, and a step of determining that the probe is satisfactory when the width is less than the first threshold value, and a step of determining that the probe is unsatisfactory when the width is equal to or greater than the first threshold value.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a material which can be safely ingested and which inhibits skin pigmentation. Therefore, the invention is a skin pigmentation inhibitor, containing a ?-nicotinamide mononucleotide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and a solvate thereof as an active ingredient; a health supplement which contains the skin pigmentation inhibitor and is ingested to inhibit skin pigmentation; and a method for inhibiting skin pigmentation, including ingesting the skin pigmentation inhibitor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides for the administration of ?-NMN, which increases the secretion of adiponectin. The present disclosure also provides an adiponectin secretion enhancer comprising ?-nicotinamide mononucleotide, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a solvate thereof, and a dietary supplement containing the aforementioned secretion enhancer, which can be ingested in order to increase the secretion of adiponectin. Also disclosed are methods of treating insulin resistance-related diseases such as of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver disease, hypertension, obesity, and arteriosclerosis.

Abstract: A vacuum pump with abatement function is used for evacuating a chamber of a manufacturing apparatus. The vacuum pump with abatement function includes a vacuum pump having a discharge port to which one or more abatement parts for treating an exhaust gas discharged from the vacuum pump to make the exhaust gas harmless are attached. The one or more abatement parts are selected, depending on the amount and kind of the exhaust gas discharged from the vacuum pump, from plural kinds of abatement parts which have different treatment types of exhaust gas and/or different treatment amounts of exhaust gas.

Abstract: A vacuum evacuation system which can prevent an increase in pressure in one process chamber when evacuating an atmospheric-pressure gas from another process chamber is disclosed. The vacuum evacuation system can be used for evacuating a gas from a plurality of process chambers. The vacuum evacuation system includes: first vacuum pumps; buffer tanks coupled to the first vacuum pumps, respectively; a second vacuum pump; and a collecting pipe providing a communication between the first vacuum pumps and the second vacuum pump.

Abstract: When daylighting into a building interior, this daylighting structure attenuates the brightness of a setting sun or a winter-time incoming light of small elevation angles, and causes the incoming light to be diffusely emitted toward the ceiling surface or into a deep portion of the indoor space domain regardless of the elevation angle thereof. An incoming light (E20) of 20° in elevation angle is caused to be diffusely emitted toward the ceiling surface on the internal upper side of the building through the refraction and reflection actions mediated by a light-transmitting material mounted in a horizontal direction opening of a wall.

Abstract: A vacuum pump with abatement function is used for evacuating a chamber of a manufacturing apparatus. The vacuum pump with abatement function includes a vacuum pump having a discharge port to which at least one abatement part for treating an exhaust gas discharged from the vacuum pump to make the exhaust gas harmless is attached. The abatement part is selected from a plurality of abatement parts having different treatment types of exhaust gas and/or different treatment amounts of exhaust gas and/or different treatment performances of exhaust gas.

Abstract: A display panel can transition between a fixed state and an inclined state, in accordance with linear reciprocal movement relative to a main body section of a main slider. When the main slider travels a prescribed distance in the forward direction from a position in the fixed state, a motion link comes in contact with the main slider.

Abstract: A vacuum pump includes a vacuum pump having a discharge port to which an abatement part for treating an exhaust gas discharged from the vacuum pump to make the exhaust gas harmless is attached. The vacuum pump includes a cylindrical member having an exhaust gas introduction port for introducing the exhaust gas to be treated and a gas outlet port for discharging gases which have been treated, a plurality of fuel nozzles provided at a circumferential wall of the cylindrical member for ejecting a fuel, and a plurality of air nozzles provided at the circumferential wall of the cylindrical member for ejecting air so as to form a swirling flow of air along an inner circumferential surface of the circumferential wall. The air nozzles are disposed at a plurality of stages spaced in an axial direction of the cylindrical member.

Abstract: A vacuum pump has a discharge port coupled to an abatement chamber for treating an exhaust gas discharged from a chamber of a manufacturing apparatus to make the exhaust gas harmless. The vacuum pump is coupled to a heat exchanger configured to heat an inert gas by using heat generated when the exhaust gas is treated to be made harmless in the abatement part. The inert gas heated by the heat exchanger is introduced into the vacuum pump.
