Abstract: Provided is a modified fluorescent protein which enables the detection of a power applied to a liquid where the fluorescent protein exists. A modified fluorescent protein, wherein a peptide linker is inserted into a position homologous to the position between the 144th and 145th amino acids in the amino acid sequence of a wild type fluorescent protein from jellyfish or a fluorescent protein derived from said wild type fluorescent protein, characterized in that the fluorescence properties of said modified fluorescent protein change depending on a change in a pressure that is applied to a liquid where said modified fluorescent protein exists.

Abstract: An observation system 100 for observing a to-be-observed specimen 1 on the basis of coming light 2 coming from the to-be-observed specimen 1 includes a conversion unit 104 configured to convert the coming light 2 to a first converted light ray with a first pupil function and to convert the coming light 2 to a second converted light ray with a second pupil function and an image information generation unit 106 configured to generate image information on the to-be-observed specimen 1 on the basis of the first converted light ray obtained by converting the coming light 2 with the first pupil function and the second converted light ray obtained by converting the coming light with the second pupil function. The second pupil function is preferably different from the first pupil function.

Abstract: A dealing board has a dealing board main body having a box-like structure. The box-like structure includes a top plate, bottom plate, front face plate and rear face plate. The top plate is forwardly slanted relative to the top of a desk on which the main body is mounted and has a number of openings formed therein. The dealing board further has a plurality of panel units arranged in the opening. A receiving device secured to a bent portion of the top end of the front face plate or the rear face plate forms a gap. The dealing board further has a screen plate attached to a top end of the one of the rear face plate or the front face plate which is not bent, and a fixing device is provided on the screen plate so as to be removable by set screws. The dealing board further has a card insertion slot of a reader-writer for reading and writing information on memory cards, a card take-out button placed near the card insertion slot, and a cover covering the card slot and card take-out button.

Abstract: A key unit is provided with a first print substrate on which a contact portion and a LED capable to be mounted on flat surface are mounted, a conductive contact rubber, placed on the first print substrate, having a movable contact portion which can contact with the contact portion and an open portion in which the LED is accommodated, a key button placed on the conductive contact rubber, a LED lens, placed on the edge portion of the open portion of the conductive contact rubber, which leads the light beam generated from the LED in the open portion, and a key case having a through hole into which the key button is slidably inserted and a lens insertion hole into which the LED lens is inserted. The key unit may also be provided with a chip resistor to protect the LED, which is mounted on the first print substrate at a position below a lower end face of the key case.

Abstract: A panel unit for a dealing board has a display and a keyboard unit provided with buttons. The display is divided into individual indications which display function names corresponding to the buttons. The keyboard unit has a printed substrate arranged on the display, fixed contacts which form switches provided for the buttons, and electric conductive contact rubber located on the printed substrate and provided with moving contacts opposing the fixed contacts. A panel is positioned on the electric conductive rubber and provided with the buttons. The panel has holes, the buttons are fitted into the holes to be vertically movable so that the fixed contacts of the printed substrate come into contact with the movable contacts of the electric conductive rubber.
