Abstract: A reception device for receiving a data signal representing a data value 0 or 1. The reception device includes an equalizer circuit and a control circuit. The equalizer circuit outputs an output value representing a result obtained by comparing a voltage based on the received data signal and a first voltage as a reference, at each clock timing corresponding to the data signal. The control circuit is connected to the equalizer circuit. The control circuit changes, before the data signal is received, a tap coefficient related to a characteristic of the equalizer circuit in a state in which a second voltage different from the first voltage, instead of the voltage of the data signal, is supplied to the equalizer circuit, to detect an inverted tap coefficient that is the tap coefficient at a boundary where a data value of the output value is inverted. The control circuit sets the inverted tap coefficient to the equalizer circuit at a time of receiving the data signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a screening method for searching a component inhibiting the PERK pathway and/or the ATF6 pathway, and by obtaining, by the screening method, an active ingredient inhibiting myopia progression without impairing normal growth of the eyeballs (emmetropization) in children, provides eyedrops and a composition containing the active ingredient. The problems are solved by eyedrops for inhibiting myopia progression in children containing, as an active ingredient, an inhibitor of the PERK (PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase) pathway and/or the ATF6 (activating transcription factor 6) pathway. The problems are solved by a screening method for an inhibitor of myopia progression in children, including a step of contacting a candidate substance with an eye-derived cell, and a step of selecting the candidate substance using, as an index, change in a protein and/or a gene of the signal transduction system of PERK and/or ATF6.

Comparison determination between the number of times of dummy treatment at the time point when carriers storing semiconductor wafers each to be a product are transported in to a heat treatment apparatus and the set maximum value and minimum value is performed. In this manner, the timing of the end of the dummy treatment and the start of the treatment of product wafers is adjusted.
