Abstract: An electromagnetic relay device includes a mover, a plunger, and a solenoid unit that causes the plunger to reciprocate. The mover includes a movable contact movable to abut onto or separate from a stationary contact. The plunger causes the mover to reciprocate to accordingly cause the movable contact to abut onto or separate from the stationary contact. A heat-resistant member is interposed between the insulator and the mover. The plunger enables indirect abutment onto the mover through the insulator and the heat-resistant member. A heat-resistant temperature of the heat-resistant member is set to be higher than that of the insulator.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method of analyzing a set of sequences of target regions on a plurality of macromolecules to test so as to detect anomalies therein, each target region being associated with a tag and said macromolecules having underwent linearization according to a predetermined direction, wherein said method comprises performing by a processor (11) of equipment (10) the following steps: (a) Identifying said sequences of target regions from at least one sample image received from a scanner (2), said sample image depicting said macromolecules as curvilinear objects sensibly extending according to said predetermined direction; (b) Determining if there is at least one target region presenting a bimodal distribution of the lengths of said target region; (c) Determining if there is at least one recurrent breakpoint position in said sequences of target regions; If at least one target region presenting a bimodal distribution of length and/or at least one recurrent breakpoint position has been d

Abstract: Methods including in-silico steps for design and synthesis of Genomic Morse Code (“GMC”) probes including design of combinations of polynucleotide sequences and labelling colors for analysis of large rearrangements in targeted genetic regions as well as allele characterization of complex regions and localization of events such as replication, DNA reparation or epigenetics in particular regions. Color-encoded sets of probes that produce characteristic or unique color patterns when painted on a target nucleic acid sequence. Methods for using color-encoded sets of probes.

Abstract: A method for detection, visualization and/or comparison of polynucleotide sequences of interest using specially designed sets of long and short probes that enhance resolution and simplify visualization and detection. Probe compositions useful for practicing this method and procedures for identifying useful probes and probe combinations. These methods are useful for the detection of genomic rearrangements, especially those associated with various diseases, disorders and conditions including cancer or for assessment of genomic rearrangements associated with therapy. The probe compositions may be used in kits for detection of genetic rearrangements or in companion diagnostic products or kits, such as kits for the diagnosis or assessment of predisposition to cancer such as colorectal cancer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a receiving apparatus including: a broadcast reception block; a network connection block; an operation input block; a display block; a broadcast content display block; a network content processing block; a pseudo-data broadcast content processing block configured to process pseudo-data broadcast content having a first designation part and a second designation part, and a data broadcast content processing block.

Abstract: This two-layer weave for non-woven fabric fulfills the required characteristics of weaves for unwoven fabrics such as stiffness while increasing the effect of preventing adhesion of fibers, etc., and maintains the antifouling effect despite surface wear occasioned by long-term use in industrial processes involving nonwoven fabric. In this weave for a nonwoven fabric, a top weave constituted from top warp threads and top weft threads and a bottom weave constituted from bottom warp threads and bottom weft threads are bonded by means of weft-binding threads. The weft-binding threads are woven together so as to bond internally, and the top warp threads and the top weft threads are characterized by being formed from a fluororesin.

Abstract: A relay device connected to a game device receives an increase instruction for increasing a credit number via a communication unit that communicates with an outside, and stores the credit number to be increased. The relay device generates pseudo medal detection pulses, and supplies medal detection pulses obtained by a logical sum between normal medal detection pulses that are generated in the game device and the pseudo medal detection pulses to a game device. When receiving the increase instruction, the relay device generates a pseudo discharge signal that gives an instruction to discharge medals inserted in the game device out of the device, and supplies a discharge signal obtained by a logical sum between a normal discharge signal that is generated in the game device and the pseudo discharge signal to the game device. After the pseudo discharge signal is generated, the relay device generates the pseudo medal detection pulses, whose number corresponds to the credit number stored in a storage unit.
