Abstract: A stent delivery system is configured to include an outer tube and an inner tube, with a space between the inner and outer tubes. In the space between the outer tube and the inner tube, a cylindrical mesh reinforcing spacer is provided at a position that is on the base end side of a stent. The reinforcing spacer is provided to be freely movable in the axial direction and radial direction. Even when the outer tube and the inner tube, which have been advanced into the lumen of a living body, are bent, the reinforcing spacer moves in the axial and radial directions and elastically deforms, thereby maintaining a substantially uniform internal circumference for the outer tube along the axial direction.

Abstract: When a human detection sensor detects a person to be authenticated, an illumination unit obtains ambient light illuminance measured by an illuminance sensor. Lighting illuminance is then determined by using illuminance conversion information, which indicates the lighting illuminance corresponding to the ambient light illuminance, so that when the ambient light illuminance is low, the lighting illuminance becomes low, and when the ambient light illuminance is high, the lighting illuminance becomes high. The illuminance of a light source is controlled so that intensity of illumination becomes the determined illuminance. A face authentication terminal then authenticates the person to be authenticated under illumination by the illumination unit.

Abstract: Parasitic plants parasitizing on crops can be controlled effectively, by providing an agent for controlling parasitic plants, which comprises tiadinil or the like as the active ingredient and a method for using an agent for controlling parasitic plants, which comprises treating a parasitized plant or soil with an effective amount of agent for controlling parasitic plants. As a result, the yield of crops can be recovered to the level of parasitism-free crops. Additionally, by inhibiting parasitism of parasitic plants strongly, development of the next generation can be inhibited so that the level of pollution with parasitic plants on agricultural land can be lowered with cultivating sensitive crops.
