Abstract: A no-contact ignition control device includes a stop switch which maintains a second switching element at the OFF state so that an induced voltage of a trigger coil triggers a first switching element and shortcircuit a generation coil. A surge absorption element is connected in parallel to the stop switch.

Abstract: If a cancer cell sampled from a cancer patient by biopsy or the like can be examined with respect to its expressed molecules to evaluate sensitivity of the cancer cell to the present compound, the present compound can be selectively administered only to the cancer patient who is expected to benefit from antitumor activity of the present compound, thereby to enhance the therapeutic effect and reduce unnecessary adverse effects. Specifically, the characteristics of a cancer cell with respect to “low level expression of pRB”, “positive expression of p16” and “high level expression of cyclin E” are demonstrated to be useful as markers for sensitivity of the cancer cell to the present compound. Therefore, these characteristics of a cancer cell can be examined to evaluate previously sensitivity of the cancer cell to the present compound.

Abstract: In an electrostatic sprayer, a pulsating voltage developed using a battery or a generator as a power supply is stepped up using a step-up transformer. A resultant high-voltage pulse is rectified and applied to an electrostatic electrode. A spray jetted from a spray nozzle is thus electrified. Herein, the step-up transformer is located near the spray nozzle. Owing to this structure, a high voltage produced by the step-up transformer can be applied to the electrostatic electrode with a loss minimized.
