Abstract: An optical receiver includes a reception module, a first detector, a second detector, a shift module, a first extraction module, and a second extraction module. The reception module receives a frame. The first detector detects a head position of a first layer, the head position being included in the frame. The second detector detects a head position of a second layer, the head position being included in the frame. The shift module shifts the frame so that the head position of the first layer and the head position of the second layer are located at respective predetermined positions. The first extraction module extracts a header of the first layer from the frame after the frame is shifted. The second extraction module extracts a header of the second layer from the frame after the frame is shifted.

Abstract: The present invention aims at improving both of power characteristics and a capacity retention ratio of a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to the present invention is characterized in that a negative electrode contains an aqueous binder as a binder and amorphous carbon as a negative active material, and an average particle size of the amorphous carbon is set to a specific average particle size, which is 7 ?m or less. By employing a constitution of this characteristic, both of power characteristics and a capacity retention ratio of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery can be improved.

Abstract: Provided is a method for identifying and suppressing abnormal growth of fibroblasts at an early stage. Provided is a method for identifying the growth state of fibroblasts using as an index the level of expression of ETFB (electron transfer flavoprotein beta subunit), comprising: judging, in cases where the level of expression of ETFB is high, that there is a high probability that fibroblasts are abnormally growing; and judging, in cases where the level of expression of ETFB is low, that there is a high probability that fibroblasts are normally growing. Further, by inhibition of ETFB, abnormal growth of fibroblasts can be suppressed.

Abstract: A frame transmitting apparatus includes a transmitting unit which transmits, when a change is made to a value in a predetermined field of a frame, the frame including the predetermined field with the changed value a predetermined number of times in succession. A frame receiving apparatus includes a receiving unit which receives the frame and an acceptance processing unit which recognizes the value in the predetermined field of the received frame and conducts acceptance processing. The acceptance processing unit compares, when the value is different from a currently accepted value, the value with an expected value; accepts the value when the value matches the expected value; and accepts, when the value does not match the expected value, the value after receiving the same value the predetermined number of times in succession.

Abstract: A frame transmitting unit divides a payload area of an upper-layer frame into a plurality of slots, maps a lower-layer frame to one or more of the slots, and transmits the upper-layer frame including connection information that indicates which one or more of the slots the lower-layer frame of a same type is mapped to. The frame synchronization detection unit identifies, as one or more allocated slots, the one or more slots to which the lower-layer frame of the same type is mapped, on the basis of the connection information, and detects the frame synchronization by identifying a frame head signal of the lower-layer frame of the same type that is mapped to the one or more allocated slots.
