  • Patent number: 8178320
    Abstract: An artificial antibody library with a super-repertory (1011 or more) is constructed by: using a cDNA library as a template, amplifying a fragment containing the CDR1 and CDR2s regions of the VH or VL region of immunoglobulin gene and a fragment containing the CDR3 region each by the PCR method; integrating the VH library and the VL library, which are little contaminated with unexpressionable repertory and have high safety, into an non-expression vector; transferring it into a host; and then shuffling the VH region in the VH library with the VL region in the VL library.

  • Patent number: 8144128
    Abstract: A touch panel includes a lower conductive film, four electrodes disposed in edge portions of four sides of the lower conductive film, and an upper conductive film disposed over the lower conductive film so that the upper and lower conductive films are opposed to each other, to detect an electric potential in the lower conductive film when the upper conductive film is in contact with the lower conductive film. The upper conductive film includes split portions containing no transparent conductive material and split conductive portions divided by the split portions. The touch panel is arranged to detect an electric potential of each of contact points in the split conductive portions when the upper and lower conductive films are brought in contact with each other at the contact points, and detect respective coordinates of the contact points based on the electrical potentials.

  • Patent number: 8140224
    Abstract: A diagnosis apparatus for an airbag system includes a squib, a driving transistor connected in series with the squib to activate the squib by driving current when driven by a control circuit. The control circuit drives the driving transistor to supply small monitoring current periodically to the squib under slew rate control. As a result, a change rate of rise and fall of each monitoring current is reduced to about 0.1 mA/?s or less thereby reducing radio noise.

  • Publication number: 20110267044
    Abstract: A position detection device includes an electromagnetic conversion element and a magnetic field generator. The electromagnetic conversion element is arranged on a given plane. The magnetic field generator is arranged facing one side of the electromagnetic conversion element in a direction vertical to the given plane and generates a magnetic field covering the electromagnetic conversion element. A relative position between the electromagnetic conversion element and the magnetic field generator is detected when a relative displacement parallel to the given plane is made by the electromagnetic conversion element and the magnetic field generator based on an output signal of the electromagnetic conversion element. The magnetic field generator has an opposed face that tilts to the electromagnetic conversion element, and generates the magnetic field from the opposed face.
