Patent number: 7877125Abstract: A portable terminal device can extrapolate the position of a sound source in the thicknesswise direction regardless of the use style. A slide type portable terminal has an upper casing, a lower casing, and a coupling part that couples the casings in such a way that their positional relation is changeable. The upper casing has a plurality of first microphones, and the lower casing has a second microphone. In a handhold style, one of the first microphones and the second microphone are lined in the thicknesswise direction of the cellular phone. As the upper casing is slid, the other one of the first microphones and the second microphone are lined in the thicknesswise direction of the cellular phone. The position of a sound source in the thicknesswise direction can be extrapolated from output signals of a formed microphone array in the thicknesswise direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2008Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Casio Hitachi Mobile Communications Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuyuki Takizawa, Masahito Togami

Patent number: 7718444Abstract: This invention provides a simple detection method with excellent sensitivity and specificity, which allows prompt detection of an analyte by allowing a labeled reagent to effectively react with the analyte in the process of treating an analyte-containing specimen, such as during removal of impurities, a detection apparatus, and a detection kit. This method for detecting an analyte in specimens comprises steps of: bringing a labeled reagent containing a ligand that specifically binds to the analyte into contact with a specimen; and supplying the mixture of the specimen and the labeled reagent to a solid-phase support onto which a capture reagent that specifically binds to the analyte has been immobilized, wherein the step of bringing the specimen into contact with the labeled reagent is carried out at a site that is not on the solid-phase support and that is detached from the solid-phase support.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2005Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Denka Seiken Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kazuyuki Takizawa, Ryo Shida
