Abstract: An immunochromatographic method comprising: (1) preparing a sample derived from whole blood by hemolysis of the whole blood and a treatment for enabling chromatographic development, (2) developing the resulting sample on an immunochromatographic developing membrane, and (3) developing a washing liquid on the immunochromatographic developing membrane to thereby remove an erythrocyte-derived red pigment from the immunochromatographic developing membrane, is disclosed. According to the method, a whole blood sample can be analyzed rapidly, conveniently, and at a low cost.

Abstract: A waveform display apparatus which acquires data from a plurality of channels, and displays information relating to the acquired data in the form of a waveform based on the result of a mathematical operation performed in accordance with a user-entered mathematical expression, wherein at least one mathematical expression is entered and the data output from the plurality of channels are sampled (S01), the entered mathematical expression is analyzed (S02), the at least one mathematical expression is applied to the digital data of the plurality of channels based on the analysis (S03), and the information relating to the data is displayed in the form of a waveform on a display unit based on the result of the mathematical operation (S04). In this way, the user can have the result of the mathematical operation displayed in the desired manner, without having to add a new data processing method each time a necessary operation is added.

Abstract: An inverter apparatus is provided with first and second current detectors for detecting the current of two arbitrary phases and further with first and second A/D converters, and they are integrated into one unit. It furthermore stores, in a storage device, a compensation value for compensating for an unbalance between gains of the first current detector and the first A/D converter, and gains of the second current detector and the second A/D converter. By multiplying the detected current value of either one of the detected phases by this compensation value, it equalizes the current feedback gains for both phases.

Abstract: Provided are novel complexes containing a crosslinked avidin, an analyzing method and analyzing reagents and kits whereby a compound to be analyzed can be quickly, conveniently and accurately analyzed while taking advantage of the avidin-biotin reaction. The complexes contain at least two homogeneous or heterogeneous biotin-introduced products and one crosslinked avidin sandwiched therebetween. In the analyzing method, the homogeneous or heterogeneous biotin-introduced products and the crosslinked avidin are used. The analyzing reagent contains the crosslinked avidin. The analyzing kit contains the crosslinked avidin and a biotinylating agent.

Abstract: An image display apparatus detects the position of a point on a screen opposed to a photosensor based on the average of the number of scanning lines displayed before detecting an electron beam in the first scanning direction by the photosensor, and based on the number of scanning lines displayed before detecting an electron beam in the second scanning direction by the photosensor. The point may further or alternately be detected using the average of a time required from the start of one horizontal line scanning operation to detection of the electron beam, by the photosensor, in the first scanning direction, and a time required from the start of another one horizontal line scanning operation to detection of the electron beam, by the photosensor, in the second scanning direction.
