  • Publication number: 20210381026
    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved immuno-PCR method by using cDNA display comprising the steps of: immobilizing a first antibody having a binding site to a solid phase: contacting a sample fluid to said antibody to bind a target molecule in said sample fluid; contacting said target molecule to a cDNA display being composed of a backbone being composed of a double strand and a side chain having a second antigen binding site to which the second antibody is bound; and conducting polymerase chain reaction to detect said cDNA quantitatively. According to the improved immune-PCR method of the present invention, the target molecule is screened and obtained quantitatively, because it uses cDNA display being composed of one protein/peptide and one DNA.

  • Patent number: 9509926
    Abstract: A photoelectric conversion device includes analog signal output units including pixels and configured to output analog signals based on pixels, and signal processing units. Each of the signal processing units is provided correspondingly to one of the analog signal output units and including a gain application unit configured to apply a gain to an analog signal by using only passive elements and an AD conversion unit. In the gain application unit, a portion that contributes to application of a gain to the analog signal is constituted only of passive elements. The gain application unit selectively outputs a first amplified signal obtained by applying a first gain to the analog signal or a second amplified signal obtained by applying a second gain to the analog signal smaller than the first gain. The AD conversion unit converts, from analog to digital, the first or second amplified signal.

  • Patent number: 9300889
    Abstract: An AD converting unit compares an output signal from an amplifier circuit after reset of a pixel with a reference signal of time-variable, outputs a first digital value, when the output signal from the amplifier circuit in a non-reset state of the pixel is larger than a threshold, sets a gain of the amplifier circuit to a first gain, when the output signal is smaller than the threshold, sets the gain of the amplifier circuit to a second gain larger than the first gain, further after the gain of the amplifier circuit was set to the first or second gain, compares the output signal from the amplifier circuit in the non-reset state of the pixel with the reference signal of time-variable, and outputs a second digital value. When resolutions of the first and second digital values differ, a correcting unit corrects a difference between the resolutions.
