Abstract: A connector includes a contact in an elongated shape that is electrically conductive, and a housing that has an internal space is formed. The contact includes a contact portion, a connection portion, a fixing portion, and a protruding portion. The contact portion is to be electrically connected to an electrically conductive member when the contact is housed in the housing. The connection portion is electrically connected to a core wire of an electrical wire. The fixing portion is provided on a side opposite to the contact portion relative to the connection portion, and fixes a covering of the electrical wire. The protruding portion is provided on an end portion side of the fixing portion opposite to the connection portion so as to protrude. The protruding portion reduces the amount of movement of the contact inside the internal space of the housing.

Abstract: A connector includes a contact connected to a member to be connected and brought into contact with a wire so as to electrically connect the member to be connected and the wire. The contact includes contact portions coming into contact with the wire when the wire moves in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to a wire extending direction in which the wire extends, and movement restriction members for restricting a movement of the wire on the contact in a state where the wire is in contact with the contact portions. The contact further includes a movement regulation member for regulating a movement of the wire in the perpendicular direction in the state where the wire is in contact with the contact portions.

Abstract: A socket (female connector) used for a connector assembly includes a film substrate constituted by a flexible thin board made of insulation material. The film substrate is provided with connection through holes adapted to be inserted therein connection posts of a header (male connector). Connection pads are formed on a first surface of the film substrate around respective connection through holes. The connection pads include a first pad and a second pad. The film substrate is provided on the first surface with a first patterned conductor connected to the first pad and a third patterned conductor connected to the second pad. The third patterned conductor is connected to a second patterned conductor formed on a second surface of the film substrate by means of a blind via that is formed by boring the film substrate from the second surface so as to reach the third patterned conductor.

Abstract: Provided are a procedurally simple and safe method and kit for measuring the concentration in a biological sample of a physiologically active substance which binds to a receptor that causes a change in intracellular cAMP concentration. By providing a composition including genetically-modified cells which show co-expression of a receptor that causes a change in intracellular cAMP concentration, a cyclic nucleotide-responsive calcium channel, and aequorin luminescent protein, it is possible to measure how much of a physiologically active substance which binds to said receptor is included in a biological sample.

Abstract: Presented is a touchscreen panel sensor film with alignment marks or product information assigned thereto, this sensor film being formed so as to improve in post-processing accuracy. The touchscreen panel sensor film according to this invention includes a transparent base film and a transparent electrical conductor pattern provided on at least one surface of the base film, and achieves the improvement of post-processing accuracy by having alignment marks or product information in a non-active area on the sensor film.

Abstract: The invention provides a reporter gene assay method by which the sex hormone-like activity inherent in a test substance can be accurately assayed excluding the effects caused by a decrease in cell activity (protein expressing capacity). The assay method is a reporter gene assay method using luciferase-expressing cells which comprises further transferring a GFP gene into the luciferase-expressing cells, measuring the luciferase expression level and GFP expression level, and making a judgment about the thus-measured luciferase expression level using the decrease in GFP expression level as an indication of the decrease in cell activity.
