Abstract: An oligonucleotide or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof according to the present invention contains a nucleotide sequence complementary to a continuous sequence of at least 12 bases in a target region constituted by a base sequence of SEQ ID No. 1, and induces N-exon skipping in human REST pre-mRNA processing. Such oligonucleotides are useful for manufacturing medicines for treatment of cancer, for example.

Abstract: Provided is a colored glass fiber for use as a reinforced fiber, allowing a molded product to have high strength and good appearance. A glass fiber is surface treated with a surface treatment agent including a first silane coupling agent, a coating agent and a surfactant, colored with a coloring agent including a second silane coupling agent and a pigment, and water-washed, so that the colored glass fiber is obtained. The treatment is performed to have a sum of the weight of a surface treatment layer and a colored layer of 0.25 to 1.70 wt% with respect to the weight of the glass fiber. Due to a coating formed from the surface treatment agent on the glass surface, the colored glass fiber is not scratched by the pigment contained in the coloring agent. Consequently, the mold product doesn't degrade the strength and has good appearance due to the coloring.

Abstract: A memory cell array including non-volatile memory cells is divided into a first block including a non-volatile memory cell for accumulating a degradation over time and a second block including a non-volatile memory cell for storing data. A word line select circuit and a bit line select circuit select a first word line and a first bit line connected to the second block to access the non-volatile memory cell for storing data of the second block, and selects a second word line or a second bit line connected to the first block to apply a stress voltage to the non-volatile memory cell for accumulating the degradation over time of the first block, thereby automatically detecting ambient temperature and storing accumulated stress.

Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device includes: memory cells regularly arranged in a matrix pattern, and having as a charge storage medium a nonconductive nitride film capable of configuring two physical bits in each memory cell; and bit lines connecting in common a source or drain of one of two memory cells adjoining in a row direction with a source or drain of the other memory cell. One of two bits in each memory cell having the nonconductive nitride film is accessed by a first address group allocated to a first function, and the other bit is accessed by a second address group allocated to a second function.

Abstract: A non-volatile storage device comprises a non-volatile memory into which data is written per unit area, and a memory controller for controlling writing of data into the non-volatile memory. The memory controller comprises a first storage section for holding data input from the outside of the device, a first control section for writing data which is held by the first storage section and whose amount corresponds to the unit area, into the non-volatile memory in a unit area-by-unit area basis, and writing data which is held by the first storage section and whose amount is less than the unit area, into a second storage section, and a second control section for writing data held by the second storage section into the non-volatile memory.

Abstract: A heat detection equipment as electromagnetic detection equipment is combined with a semiconductor integrated circuit including, without setting an extra external test terminal, a control circuit for outputting chip information and resistors driven for generating thermal energy that is a kind of electromagnetic waves to obtain manufacturing information and inspection information in a contactless manner, so that a system thus configured operate in synchronization with an automated test equipment (ATM). Consequently, in an actual semiconductor integrated circuit, it is possible to improve quality while achieving security.

Abstract: To implement a high reliability and large number of rewrite operations by optimizing reliability margins of both data “0” and data “1” or a reliability margin of one of the data “0” or data “1” with a circuit for monitoring a rewrite status and a circuit for changing a read condition corresponding to the number of rewrite operations based on a result of monitoring the rewritable status.

Abstract: A propolis food product that contains propolis active ingredients with improved bio-absorbability and is readily ingested. The propolis food products containing propolis extracts are gelled by gelatinizers. The gelantinizers are materials such as shiitake extracts, curdlan, agarics extracts and further including sulfated saccharides, .beta.-glucans, carrageenan, locust bean gum, xanthan gum, or agar. The propolis food products are prepared by water or alcohol extraction. Furthermore, the steps involve preparing a gelantinizer solution by adding a gelatinizer to water and adding propolis extracts thereto so that the amount of the propolis extracts in the food product is from 2 to 25 w/w %, a gel composition is then formed by admixing the solution in order to uniformly disperse the propolis extracts.
