  • Patent number: 10712882
    Abstract: An operational input device includes an operational portion located on a display screen of a display panel and a controller that determines whether or not the operational portion is being operated and controls display of functional information associated with the operational portion based on the determination. The controller displays the functional information on a first region of the display screen defined inside the operational portion when the operational portion is not being operated. The controller displays the functional information on a second region of the display screen defined outside the operational portion when the operational portion is being operated.

  • Patent number: 9487566
    Abstract: The present invention relates to protein purification. More particularly, a method for directly recovering an objective protein from a protein composition and purifying a protein with a desired quality in a rapid and efficient manner is provided. Further, a rapid purification method capable of efficiently removing impurities included in the protein composition is provided. Therefore, compared to the conventional purification methods, quality and yield of the protein can be remarkably improved.
