Abstract: An optical system includes a first optical element having a first reflective surface concave toward an object side, a second optical element having a second reflective surface convex toward an image side, and a lens unit disposed between the first optical element and the second optical element. Light from an object travels to an image plane through the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface in this order. A movable unit configured to move during image stabilizing includes at least one of the second optical element and the lens unit.

Abstract: The present invention provides: a method for identifying a blood cancer patient who may benefit from a monotherapy using a drug comprising a DNA methyl transferase inhibitor and a combination therapy using the aforesaid drug together with another epigenetic controller; a pharmaceutical composition to be used in treating a patient who has been identified or selected by the method; and a kit for identifying such a patient. More particularly, the aforesaid method comprises a step for measuring the expression amount of DUSP5 in a sample obtained from a blood cancer patient. When the expression amount measured in this step is lower than a reference expression amount of DUSP5, then the patient is identified or selected as a blood cancer patient who may benefit from a treatment using the drug comprising a DNA methyl transferase inhibitor.

Abstract: An optical system includes a first unit fixed during focusing, a second unit configured to move during focusing, and a third unit fixed during focusing on an image side of the second unit. The first unit includes a first optical element having a first reflective surface that has a concave shape toward an object side, and a second optical element having a second reflective surface that has a convex shape toward an image side. Light incident on the optical system from an object is reflected by the first reflective surface, thereafter is reflected by the second reflective surface, and thereafter passes through the second unit. A predetermined inequality is satisfied.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a control unit that allows at least a first external power source to be connected thereto and is activated upon receipt of a predetermined power, and a power source connected to the control unit. In an activated state, the control unit performs enumeration processing between the control unit and the first external power source. The power source has charging unit capable of being charged by a charge current supplied from the first external power source, and output unit that outputs the predetermined power from the charging unit to the control unit in response to a connection between the control unit and the first external power source. The charging unit sets the charge current to a current value according to whether the enumeration processing is completed.

Abstract: [Problems] The object is to provide a compound as a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for TKI-resistant CML to replace the injection “Dacogen®” which has been clinically used as a therapeutic agent for high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia. The said compound has remarkable stability against cytidine deaminase, a hydrolytic enzyme, and is absorbed in vivo even by oral administration, incorporated into the biosynthesis route of nucleic acid, and exhibits the effect of inhibiting DNA methyltransferase (DNMT).

Abstract: A fraud monitoring program causes a computer to perform a fraud monitoring process. The process includes steps of: transmitting information on an operation or an act in the computer to a management device via a first network; and outputting an alert in response to detection of a specific event after an instruction to activate an alert notification function is received from the management device which has detected based on the information that a condition for activating the alert notification function in the computer is met.

Abstract: In order to solve a problem that the skew width of a clock when data is transmitted to printheads changes depending on the characteristics of and variations in the respective printheads integrated in a printing apparatus or the operation mode of the printing apparatus, clock skew is adjusted based on a detection result by an error detection circuit integrated in each printhead when the data is transmitted to the printhead. This makes it possible to adjust skew in accordance with the characteristics of the respective printheads or a status change at the time of a printing operation.
