Abstract: A method for producing a capillary bead array comprises the steps of: dispensing beads into a liquid pool, outside a capillary, having a depth of almost the same length as the particle diameter of a bead; leveling the excessive beads by moving a leveling member which is in contact with and relatively capable of be moved to the liquid pool to remove excessive beads that the liquid pool cannot contain; aligning the beads in the liquid pool one- or two-dimensionally; bonding adjacent individual beads to each other; producing a structure having the plurality of beads bonded and aligned one- or two-dimensionally; removing the structure from the liquid pool; and disposing the structure in the capillary formed of soft resin, so that the beads comprising the plurality of beads retaining the one- or two-dimensional alignment can be introduced simultaneously into the capillary.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for arraying beads that allow a bead array having been difficult in mass production to be manufactured easily and accurately are provided. Beads are once arrayed in a separate container using an inclined bead array apparatus while controlling the number of beads to be inserted simply by the use of a bead control rod. When the whole arraying is completed, the arrayed beads are transferred onto a plate for use in an actual reaction.

Abstract: Within an inside of a bead chip forming a reactor flow pass therein, rinsing liquid flow passes are also provided in one body. For the purpose of promoting reaction upon a bead array, a turbulence generator or an flow separation stop guide is provided within the reactor flow pass, in which the beads are received. The bead chip is made of a PDMS (Polydimethylsiloxane: (C2H6SiO)n), thereby enabling the reactor flow pass and the rinsing liquid flow passes to be formed freely in the configurations thereof.

Abstract: A method and a device for accurately detecting with fluorescence some arranged beads through utilization of fluorescent beads in a flow path because each diameter the beads is small in respect to an inner diameter of the flow path and the beads are not arranged in a linear manner. A fine elongated excitation light is radiated in a direction perpendicular to the flow path to the samples having a plurality of units with fluorescent members being applied to some relative large beads, this is relatively scanned in a direction toward the flow path so as to perform a well-separable and accurate detection of the beads without being influenced by the adjoining beads.

Abstract: In a disc changer in which any one is selected from a set of disc-shaped recording media (2) stored in a disc compartment (3) and signals are written and/or read to and/or from the selected disc-shaped recording medium (2), resin layers (192), (194) and (195), softer than the disc-shaped recording medium (2) in a recording and/or playback apparatus (6) are formed on a pair of disc holding members (89) holding the selected disc-shaped recording medium (2) rotatably while chucking the latter and a disc tray (193) on which each of the disc-shaped recording media stored in the disc compartment (3) is placed. The resin layers assure to prevent the disc-shaped recording medium (2) from being damaged due to contact with the disc holding members (89) and disc tray (193).

Abstract: A cartridge consists of a case and a disk housed therein. The case has a case body in which a head access window and a drive spindle access window are formed. The case has a shutter to open and close the head access window and the drive spindle access window. The case body has in its rear side an opening through which the disk is taken out of and put into the case body. The opening is fitted with a lid that can be taken out of and put into the opening in the direction in which the disk is taken out of and put into the case body. One of the halves constituting the case body has a stopper removal hole, a stopper rest linked to the inner surface of the hole through thin bridges and formed seamlessly therewith, and a stopper whose one end is fixed on the inner surface of the stopper rest and which stops the lid from sliding.

Abstract: In a digital information system for realizing the sale of information or the like having a commercial value in the form of a digital signal, and an audio processor, and signal processor suitably used with the system, when a digital signal is received/delivered, a digital signal source is connected directly to a player for receiving and storing a specified information, which is reproduced by the player independently. A voice interval of a digital audio signal is processed to realize the slow and fast playback. The system includes a data compressor and a data extender of simple configuration. The value of the digital signal received/delivered can be exhibited directly. A selling system is constructed easily, and the player is simple in configuration and easy to operate by anyone.
