Patent number: 9248445Abstract: A liquid discharging device includes a plurality of liquid discharge sections. Each liquid discharge section includes a reservoir, a nozzle that discharges a solution supplied from the reservoir, and discharge energy generating means that generates energy to discharge the solution from the nozzle. The number of the liquid discharge sections corresponds to the number of probe types to be formed. The nozzles are two-dimensionally arranged. Using this liquid discharging device, probe liquids are discharged from the corresponding reservoirs onto a solid-phase substrate to form a predetermined two-dimensional probe array of high-purity probes on the substrate. This process exhibits high reproducibility and processability, and the resulting probe array has high array density.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2010Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tadashi Okamoto, Nobuko Yamamoto, Hidenori Watanabe, Tomohiro Suzuki

Patent number: 8628949Abstract: An apparatus for producing a probe carrier in which ambient humidity for a plurality of nozzles of a liquid ejection device for ejecting droplets of solutions containing probes to the surface of a carrier is controlled to 50% or more, preferably 60% or more. A part of solution supply passages to the plurality of nozzles is constructed from gas permeable membranes permitting gas-liquid separation under reduced pressure. These gas permeable membrane portions are gathered and altogether placed under reduced pressure to remove air bubbles from the respective solutions supplied to the plural nozzles and decrease the amount of a dissolved gas, which causes air bubbles to be generated.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2009Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Makoto Kameyama, Nobuyuki Okamura, Tadashi Okamoto

Patent number: 8447507Abstract: A navigation system comprising a receiver module that receives a stream for a broadcast content and a control unit in communication with the receiver module. The control unit determines whether the stream for the broadcast content contains information that matches to a keyword from a stored list of keywords, identifies a landmark that is associated with the keyword, determines whether a position information for the landmark resides with a map area to be displayed by the navigation system according to a detected position for the navigation system, and prompts a map area display of the map area having a landmark display for the landmark that is superimposed within the map area display.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2010Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Tadashi Okamoto
