Publication number: 20220298499Abstract: An artificial gene has a 15N abundance exceeding a natural abundance in bases of at least a portion of DNA. A method for mutating a gene includes a first step of producing a state in which 15N is unevenly distributed into a prescribed DNA in a living cell; and a second step of irradiation with a proton beam at an energy at which the 15N produces a resonant nuclear reaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2020Publication date: September 22, 2022Applicants: NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF TSUKUBAInventors: Yasushi IWATA, Kanako TOMITA, Iwane SUZUKI, Ryo MORIOKA, Tianjing YANG

Patent number: 9391224Abstract: Disclosed is a solar battery which: is made from a silicon semiconductor; has a high quantum-conversion efficiency; requires a small number of production steps during manufacturing; and is capable of being recycled in view of environmental load and material recycling. Specifically, a solar battery according to an embodiment of the present invention has a basic structure of a P—SiN—N junction in which minute silicon clusters are inserted in a P—N junction, and includes a quantum dot layer having a multiple energy level structure consisting of an energy level of a valence band and an energy level of a conduction band, and intermediate energy levels located between both the bands. The quantum dot layer is composed by periodically arranging silicon quantum dots consisting of silicon clusters with an average particle diameter of 2.5 nm or less and an inter-quantum-dot distance of 1 nm or less.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2011Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and TechnologyInventors: Yasushi Iwata, Kanako Tomita

Patent number: 8881201Abstract: An interactive television program guide method and system is provided in which a viewer may direct a media guidance application to display program listings independent of scheduled broadcast time. Selectable options are presented to viewer on the screen, allowing the user to select a subset of content providers and view associated listings. The media guidance application removes duplicate listings from the listings display, in accordance with the viewer's preference. Listings may be displayed in a variety of arrangements, including alphabetical order by title, by genre, or by day scheduled for broadcast. Listings can also be sorted according to several criteria and displayed for further convenience to the viewer. The viewer may specify a broadcast time interval to further narrow the subset of listings that are displayed. Additional options displayed on the screen allow the viewer to re-sort listings on the display screen.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2010Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: United Video Properties, Inc.Inventor: Kanako Tomita
