A second surface 21b of the base 21 and a third surface 13a of the optical function member 13 are joined to each other.

Abstract: A complex of ?(1?3) glucan and a nucleic acid, and having a controlled particle size is provided by the present invention. Furthermore, a complex of ?(1?3) glucan and a nucleic acid, and having a controlled particle size is provided by the present invention.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to achieve the combination processing that accelerates the processing speed while keeping the accuracy of finishing. In the combination processing consisting combination of stationary processing and synchronization processing, the processing of the section in the rows in an processing area is performed from a first end to a second end of a row, and then from the second end to the first end of the next row so that the processing is performed from side to side. The stationary processing is performed in sections having relatively low processing densities and the synchronization processing is performed in the other sections than the sections for the stationary processing.

Abstract: A metal filter includes a plurality of through holes. An opening shape of each of the plurality of through holes is a rectangle or rounded-rectangle and a length of a short side of the rectangle or a rounded rectangle is 5 to 15 ?m. A method for concentrating cancer cells using the metal filter includes separating cancer cells from blood and blood cell constituents by passing blood, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets through the plurality of through holes while capturing cancer cells to concentrate the cancer cells.

Abstract: A liquid supply device includes diaphragms, pressing members, a movement unit, a rotating shaft, and cams. In the liquid supply device, when the rotating shaft is rotated in a first direction, the cams are moved to arrange adjoining ones of the cams to have a phase difference around the rotating shaft, in which one of the cams selectively causes a corresponding one of the pressing members to regulate an increase in a volume of a corresponding one of the diaphragms. When the rotating shaft is rotated in a second direction, the cams are moved to arrange the cams in phase with one another when viewed from an axial direction of the rotating shaft, in which the cams simultaneously cause all the pressing members to regulate the increase in the volume of each of the diaphragms.

Abstract: A method for producing a metal filter comprises a lamination step, an exposure step, a development step, a plating step, a dissolution step, and a stripping step. The method is useful because it is possible to produce a metal filter in which there are not damages such as wrinkles, folds, scars, and curls and deformation of fine through-holes.

Abstract: Three base station devices are connected to a base station control device in series. The payload of a cell storing data to be transmitted is partitioned into three areas, which are respectively allocated to the base station devices. The base station control device stores the data to be transmitted to corresponding base station devices in these three areas. Allocation pattern information indicating the allocation pattern of the payload is stored in the header of the cell. Upon receipt of the cell, the base station devices respectively extract the data addressed to the devices themselves based on the allocation pattern information stored in the header of the cell.
