Abstract: A radiographic image detection apparatus includes a detection panel and a housing for containing the detection panel. The housing consists of a front surface member, a back surface member, and a carbon plate attached so as to cover an opening formed in the front surface member. The carbon plate is faced to the detection panel. To the carbon plate is adhered a transparent sheet having transmissivity to radiation and visible light. A first index and a second index are printed on an inner surface of the transparent sheet. The first index is a square-frame shaped index showing a radiation detection range of the detection panel. The second index is a cross-shaped index showing a center position of the radiation detection range. The first and second indices are formed of nonmetallic UV curable ink having no radiation shielding properties.

Abstract: An electronic key system includes an in-vehicle unit mounted in a vehicle and a portable unit. When a user leaves the vehicle, the in-vehicle unit requests information on a relative position of the vehicle relative to a landmark object near the vehicle from a vehicle navigation device and transmits received relative position information to the portable unit. The portable unit stores the received relative position information, and notifies of the stored relative position information according to a user's operation.

Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to efficiently produce an N-methyl transferase with 7-methylxanthine N3 methyl transferase, theobromine N1 methyl transferase, and paraxanthine N3 methyl transferase activities that can be utilized as an industrial, food, or medical enzyme. In addition, the present invention makes it possible to modify the caffeine biosynthesis metabolism of caffeine producing plants, plant tissues, or plant cells, thereby efficiently producing caffeine metabolism based compounds or modifying the production of caffeine in the plants.

Abstract: A test probe contact comprises a plunger 1 having a pointed tip 4 formed into a pyramid configuration having an apex 9 and a plurality of slant faces 10--10 meeting at the apex 9 so as to form a ridge 8 between adjacent two slant faces 10 and 10. The pointed tip 4 is connectable with a check land 11 of a test member. A barrel 2 holds the plunger 1 therein so that the plunger 1 slides in an axial direction thereof. A sliding movement of the plunger 1 causes the ridge 8 of the pointed tip 4 to cut the surface of the check land 11 along a ridgeline of the ridge 8. A spring 3 resiliently supports the plunger 1 in the axial direction of the plunger 1 for giving an elastic reaction force to the plunger 1 when plunger 1 is pushed against the check land 11, thereby breaking through the surface of the check land 11 by the ridge 8 so as to establish an electrical connection between the pointed tip 4 and the metal portion of the check land 11.
