  • Publication number: 20110256572
    Abstract: A plate on which a channel pattern is formed, which channel pattern includes a first channel into which a buffer agent is injected, and a second channel having, in a portion thereof, a quantification part that has a portion common to the first channel and holds a predetermined amount of a biological sample, the biological sample being injected into the channel including the quantification part, and the plate is rotated at a high speed by a filling unit to fill the buffer agent in the first channel, and thereafter, the second channel is pressurized by a discrimination unit to fill the biological sample in the second channel, and simultaneously, a predetermined amount of the biological sample is added into the buffer agent. Therefore, when performing discrimination of the biological sample, a discrimination result can be obtained accurately in a short time without the necessity of complicated preparation works.

  • Patent number: 7147354
    Abstract: The invention is to provide an interior illumination lamp which can change lighting directions, not directly touching lenses by the fingers. If rotating fins in the forward direction of the lenses, outer bezels are rotated together, so that a light emitting direction can be adjusted, not directly contacting the lenses with the fingers as conventionally. Even if the lenses are heated, the light emitting directions can be adjusted thereby. Not directly contacting the lenses by the fingers, the lenses are prevented from being stained to decrease illumination. In addition, since the fins avoid the light diffusion, a driver and other riding people are kept off dazzling by the light.

  • Patent number: 6294006
    Abstract: An anticorrosive and antifouling additive for paints, which is effective to protect structures such as steel ships and pipes from rust, and prevent the adhesion of marine organisms and algae to the structures used in seawater without adversely affecting the marine environment, and a paint containing the same additive are provided. The additive comprises 70 to 94% by weight of at least one selected from the group consisting of bastnasite, monazite and Chinese complex mineral, 3% by weight or more of tourmaline, and 3% by weight or more of zircon, with respect to the total amount of the additive. The additive emits a required amount of negative ions to achieve the effect of preventing the adhesion of marine organisms and algae and prevents the occurrence of rust. In practical use, the additive can be added to a conventional paint in an amount of 8 to 15% with respect to paint weight.

  • Patent number: 6112070
    Abstract: A receiving wave containing a desired signal and received through an antenna is inputted to an interstage band-pass filter 4 after the component outside a receiving band of the receiving wave has been attenuated by a receiving band-pass filter 2a. A phase locked loop circuit 9 outputs a frequency control voltage corresponding to a selected channel to a voltage control oscillator 8 and also outputs this frequency control voltage to an interstage band-pass filter 4 as a band control voltage thereof. The voltage control oscillator 8 generates a local carrier wave in response to the frequency control voltage. The interstage variable band-pass filter 4 has a passing band width which is a little wider than channel band width and varies its passing band in response to the band control voltage so as to include the selected channel, thereby attenuating the component outside the passing band of the receiving wave inputted from the low noise amplifier 3 and then inputs the receiving wave to a mixer 5.
