Abstract: A driver support system includes a processor that acquires a heart rate of a target person; evaluates a health condition of the target person based on the heart rate of the target person; and performs an operation setting of a moving object into which the target person gets as a driver. The processor evaluates the health condition of the target person based on an ordinary heart rate, which is a heart rate of the target person during an ordinary period, and a pre-driving heart rate which is a heart rate of the target person when the target person arrives at the moving object, performs the operation setting of the moving object based on a result of the health condition of the target person evaluated when the target person gets into the moving object as a driver.

Abstract: Provided is a health evaluation system that includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a blood pressure value of a target person; and an evaluation unit that evaluates a health condition of the target person based on the acquired blood pressure value.

Abstract: A bottom wall of a Petri dish used for capturing a cell is provided with a first through hole and a second through hole. A grove that connects the first through hole and the second through hole is formed on an outer surface of bottom wall. The first through hole, the second through hole, and the grove is covered with a transparent plate member. A plate used for capturing the cell is arranged in the Petri dish above the first through hole. An aspiration tube is connected to the second through hole from inside the Petri dish.

Abstract: A microinjection apparatus has a trap plate which traps at least one cell, so as to fix a position thereof, a capillary needle which injects a substance into the cell trapped by the trap plate, a movement mechanism portion which thrusts a distal end of the capillary needle onto a in a lengthwise direction of the needle, and which withdraws the capillary needle in the lengthwise direction thereof, and a discharge control portion which discharges the substance from the distal end of the capillary needle, when the capillary needle has been withdrawn to a predetermined position by the movement mechanism portion.

Abstract: A portable communication equipment comprises a radio communication sections (13), (14) for transmitting and receiving a CDMA signal, a base band modem section (16) for modulating a speech signal into a CDMA signal and demodulating a CDMA signal into a speech signal, and a CPU (17) for controlling the transmission and reception of a CDMA signal. When the equipment fails in capturing a selected channel and falls in a condition when a system was lost, the CPU (17) retries to capture the selected channel. The CPU (17), when it fails in capturing the selected channel, selects another channel only when it tries to capture the selected channel for a predetermined number of times as well as it does not obtain an overhead message. With this arrangement, it is possible to capture an appropriate channel if an unsuitable channel is selected and the portable communication equipment falls into a condition when a system was lost.

Abstract: A path defines an opening smaller than a cell in a cell capturing apparatus. A negative pressure generating device is connected to the path so as to generate negative pressure within the path. A negative pressure controlling device is connected to the path so as to adjust the negative pressure within the path. A cell is caught at the opening of the path based on the negative pressure. The negative pressure controlling device serves to maintain the negative pressure constant within the path. Even if the negative pressure changes within the path based on drop or rise in the temperature within the path, for example, the negative pressure can be adjusted at a level suitable for the caught cell with the assistance of the negative pressure controlling device. The cell can reliably be kept immobilized at the opening of the path.
