Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a fusion protein of human serum albumin and human growth hormone. The method comprises (a) a step of culturing a mammalian cell capable of producing the protein in a serum-free medium and causing the protein to be secreted into the culture fluid, (b) a step of collecting a culture supernatant by removing the mammalian cell from the culture fluid, and (c) a step of purifying the protein from the culture supernatant by using column chromatography using a material to which an antibody having an affinity for the protein is bound as a stationary phase, column chromatography using a material having an affinity for phosphate group as a stationary phase, cation exchange column chromatography, and size exclusion column chromatography.

Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to enable data collection from a plurality of USB devices installed at remote locations. The present disclosure is a USB transmission system including: a device-side transmitter/receiver configured to transmit/receive data to/from a USB device; and a host-side transmitter/receiver configured to transmit/receive data to/from a USB host, in which each of the device-side transmitter/receiver and the host-side transmitter/receiver includes a data transmission/reception unit configured to transmit/receive a packet of a USB protocol layer via a data network, and the host-side transmitter/receiver includes a hub configured to transfer data to be transmitted/received by the data transmission/reception unit included in the host-side transmitter/receiver to the USB host.

Abstract: An object is to provide a communication system in which there are no restrictions on a communicable area and it is not necessary to install communication software on a wireless device. A communication system according to the present invention is configured so that the functions of a wireless access point are separated into a front-end unit on a wireless terminal side and a back-end side on the Internet side, radio signal processing functions supporting a wireless scheme of the wireless terminal are deployed only on the back end, and only relatively simple processing functions such as E/O conversion are deployed on the front end near the wireless terminal 311.

Abstract: An ion implanter for manufacturing a single crystal film by extracting a hydrogen ion or a rare-gas ion from an ion source, selects a desired ion with a first sector electromagnet, scanning the ion with a scanner, collimates the ion with a second sector electromagnet, and implants it into a substrate; the ion source is configured to be located close to the entrance side focal point of the first sector electromagnet. In this case, when an aperture of an extraction section of the ion source is circular and entrance side focal points in a deflection surface and a surface perpendicular thereto in the first sector electromagnet are coincident, the ion beam after passing the first sector electromagnet becomes completely parallel in the two surfaces and the spot shape becomes a circle.
