Abstract: The present invention provides a flexible, biocompatible transparent sheet (8) which has high biocompatibility and a high ability to adsorb a biologically relevant substance, which can be used as a novel biomaterial, and which can be used to observe the propagation, differentiation, and/or the like of living cells in real time. The biocompatible transparent sheet (8) is produced in such a manner that a biocompatible ceramic film (2) is formed on a substrate (1) soluble in a solvent (11) incapable of dissolving biocompatible ceramics by using exemplary a laser ablation process, the substrate (1) depositing the film (2) is dipped in the solvent (11) and dissolved off, and the isolated film (2) is then dried. The biocompatible transparent sheet (8) is utilizable of producing a flexible cultured cell sheet which can be directly transplanted to an affected area. The cell sheet can be prepared in such a manner that cells are seeded on the biocompatible transparent sheet (8) and then propagated.

Abstract: Disclosed is a detector for chemical sensor devices, the detector being improved in detection sensitivity. Also disclosed is use of such a detector for chemical sensor devices. Specifically, disclosed is a detector for chemical sensor devices by which a substance to be measured is detected by adsorbing the substance contained in a medium on the surface thereof. The detector includes an adsorption layer containing hydroxyapatite or a substituted apatite obtained by substituting a part of elements in hydroxyapatite on a surface which is used for detecting the substance to be measured. Such a detector is greatly improved in detection sensitivity, and thus able to detect a very small amount of a chemical substance.

Abstract: An emulation system for data-driven processors aims at shortening the emulation time by employing parallel processing techniques without increasing overhead. The emulation system emulates virtual data-driven processors by using real data-driven processors. The emulation is performed by dividing the functionality of the processor into a data path and a timing path. In the data path emulation, each virtual packet to be processed in the virtual processor is expressed as a PACKET message, and the processing operation of the virtual packet is evaluated for each functional block. In the timing path emulation, a SEND signal and an ACK signal, to be controlled by a self-timed transfer control mechanism and a gate logic, are expressed as a SEND message and an ACK message, respectively, and stage-to-stage transfer operations of the SEND signal and the ACK signal are evaluated.
