  • Publication number: 20160267980
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes: a first string unit including first and second memory cell transistors; a second string unit including third and fourth memory cell transistors; a first word line coupled to gates of the first and third memory cell transistors; and a second word line coupled to gates of the second and fourth memory cell transistors. When the first string unit is selected and the first word line is selected, a first voltage is applied. The first voltage is larger than an initial value of the voltage in the step-up operation.

  • Publication number: 20140295576
    Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide an insoluble carrier for an antiphospholipid antibody detection reagent having a high reactivity. The present invention also has an object to provide an antiphospholipid antibody detection reagent, and a method of detecting an antiphospholipid antibody. The present invention directs to an insoluble carrier for an antiphospholipid antibody detection reagent, having a zeta potential of lower than ?45 mV in the case that the insoluble carrier is suspended in a 20 mmol/L aqueous sodium phosphate solution with a pH of 7.4 so that the resulting suspension has a solids concentration of 0.1%.

  • Patent number: 8444961
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an RNA virus infection inhibitor that is capable of effectively inhibiting humans from being infected with RNA viruses to prevent the occurrence of symptoms or, even when symptoms occur, to relieve the symptoms and is less likely to cause unexpected discoloration or discoloration under normal service conditions. The RNA virus infection inhibitor comprises an RNA virus infection-inhibiting compound comprising a linear polymer having, in its side chain, at least one of substituents having structural formulas represented by general formulas (1) to (3).

  • Patent number: 8445213
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide: a purified serum albumin having less lot-to-lot variation; and an immunoassay method utilizing the purified serum albumin, in which high reactivity and less non-specific reactions are achieved. The present invention provides a purified serum albumin, which is a serum albumin used as a blocking agent and/or in a suspension containing an insoluble carrier in an immunoassay method, and is composed mostly of a fraction, the fraction having an absorbance of not exceeding 9.0 mAbs when measured in the form of 1% aqueous solution at a wavelength of 463 nm by using a quarts cell having an optical path length of 1.0 cm.
