Abstract: An occupant protection device including a seat belt including a shoulder belt and a lap belt, a locking tongue that is detachably joined to a buckle, that allows the seat belt to pass therethrough, and that is capable of switching between an unlock state in which the seat belt is allowed to move with the locking tongue being between the shoulder belt and the lap belt and a lock state in which movement thereof is restricted, a shoulder-belt puller that is capable of pulling the shoulder belt to apply a tensile force thereto, a side-collision detector that detects a side collision or a precursor thereof, and a control unit that changes a state of the locking tongue into the lock state and causes the shoulder-belt puller to pull the shoulder belt when the side-collision detector detects the side collision that occurs opposite an occupant or the precursor thereof.

Abstract: In the multi-layer coil component, the hole portion is provided in the vicinity of the side surface of the element body, and the distance from the tip position of the external electrode to the hole portion is shorter than the distance from the tip position of the external electrode to the coil. Therefore, when a crack is generated starting from the tip position of the external electrode on the mounting surface, the crack progress toward the hole portion located at a distance closer than the coil. Therefore, in the multi-layer coil component, splitting of the coil due to the crack can be prevented.

Abstract: Pixels output a first signal based on signal charge of a part of photoelectric conversion units of multiple photoelectric conversion units, and a second signal based on signal charge of multiple photoelectric conversion units. An imaging apparatus outputs signals based on the first signals and signals based on the second signals by reducing the number of signals based on the first signals as compared to the number of signals based on the second signals.

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.
