Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to allow a clean airflow around a substrate to reliably move downward of the substrate in an examination device in which clean air is supplied to an inspection chamber. This examination device is provided with a rectifying plate (see FIG. 4A) which covers a part of the upper surface of a stage for mounting a substrate, and is disposed between a gas supply unit and the stage to block an airflow toward the substrate.

Abstract: An image processing and inspection system includes a master device (10) having a video camera (40) and a first controller (20) responsible for processing and inspecting the image of an object (1) in accordance with inspection criteria. Intercommunicated (12) with the master device (10) is a personal computer (100) equipped with a second monitor (120), and a second input member (102,104). The motion-picture taken by the camera (40) for inspection on the side of the master device (10) is transmitted to the computer (100) so as to be displayed on the second monitor (120) as a real-time image of the object (1) for easy confirmation of the object on the side of the computer (100), thereby enabling to determine the inspection criteria on the side of the computer (100) while monitoring the real-time image of the object (1).

Abstract: An antisense oligonucleotide characterized in that it hybridizes specifically with chromosomal DNA and/or RNA encoding CXCR4 protein to thereby inhibit the expression of the CXCR4 protein, and a HIV infection inhibitor comprising the antisense oligonucleotide, are disclosed.

Abstract: A therapy for a disease, e.g., gastric cancer, comprising endoscopic local administration of a vector having a gene for treatment or cells producing the vector to a lesion to transduce the gene into target cells. The direct in vivo transduction of a gene for treatment into the affected site is expected to produce therapeutic effects specific on the lesion. Since the gene is introduced also into lymph nodes which may have developed a metastatic lesion, both the primary lesion and the metastatic lesion in the surrounding lymph nodes can be treated simultaneously.

Abstract: A process for producing a gene transfer preparation which comprises adding one or more additives selected from among arginine, glutamic acid or its sodium salt, serine, glucose, inositol, lactose, mannitol, sorbitol, trehalose and xylose to a recombinant virus vector followed by freeze-drying.

Abstract: A satellite control method is provided for keeping at an identical longitude a plurality of geostationary satellites in which east-west velocity increment (NS coupling) during the execution of north-south orbit control is not negligible. Eccentricity vectors of the geostationary satellites are localized to ensure a large difference therebetween, such that the circumferences of circles, which indicate the ranges of variation of the eccentricity vectors due to the radiation pressure of the sun and NS coupling, do not overlap and are separated from one another at a distance at least greater than a specified minimum inter-satellite distance.

Abstract: An automatic ID assigning device for LAN instruments connected in a network assigns ID numbers from a master LAN instrument to respective slave LAN instruments connecting sequentially to the master LAN instrument. A first slave LAN instrument stores, as its own self ID, an ID number supplied in an ID assignment command signal supplied from the master LAN instruments through a data line connecting ports of respective slave LAN instruments. The slave LAN instrument returns an ID assignment acknowledging signal to the master LAN instrument and connects upper and lower ports of the slave LAN instrument together. The master LAN instrument updates a connecting number table of the ports of the slave IDs upon receipt of the assignment acknowledging signals and transmits a subsequent ID assigning command signal to another slave LAN instrument through the data line and through the connected ports of slave LAN instruments to which ID numbers have already been assigned. The upper and lower ports, i.e.

Abstract: A data setting system for terminal units using an optical wireless signal includes in the respective terminal units a data storing device and a receiving device for the optical wireless signal and, in a data operating device separate from the terminal units, an operating device for preparing and transmitting a setting signal to the terminal units. The setting of data in the respective terminal units employed in a remote supervisory and controlling system using a multiplex data transmission is thereby possible from a remote position from the terminal units through the optical wireless signal.
