Abstract: A gas filling system includes a receiver that receives a temperature in a high pressure container measured by a temperature sensor by communication, and a flow rate control device that controls a flow rate of gas for filling, a pressure sensor that measures a pressure of gas for filling, and a controller. The controller controls the flow rate control device such that the high pressure container is filled with the gas at a preset first pressure rise rate, until a filling rate of the high pressure container reaches a preset first target filling rate, and the high pressure container is filled with the gas at a preset second pressure rise rate lower than the first pressure rise rate, until the filling rate of the high pressure container reaches, from the first target filling rate, a preset second target filling rate higher than the first target filling rate.

Abstract: The detection system according to the present invention has a detection chip, a light source, and a detection unit. The detection chip has a housing that has an opening at an upper portion, and a reaction field for trapping a substance to be detected, the reaction field being arranged on an inner surface of the side walls included in the housing. The light source irradiates the detection chip with light from the outside such that evanescent light or surface plasmon resonance is generated under the reaction field. The detection unit detects light which is emitted from the detection chip when the light source irradiates the detection chip with light, and the amount of which changes depending on the amount of the substance to be detected trapped in the reaction field.

Abstract: A fuel cell vehicle includes a vehicle body, a tank mounted on the vehicle body, a fuel cell unit configured to generate electricity by using gas supplied from the tank, and a first band configured to fix the tank to the vehicle body. The tank includes a valve-side end including a cap to which an automatic valve is attached, a base-side end opposite to the valve-side end, and a cylindrical tank side surface extending between the valve-side end and the base-side end. The first band extends in a circumferential direction along the tank side surface, and is located within a range of a first predetermined distance ±15 mm from the base-side end or within a range of a second predetermined distance ±15 mm from the valve-side end.

Abstract: An inspection chip according to the present invention is an inspection chip for stirring liquid by a circular movement of a bottom surface end, including a well main body for accommodating the liquid and a side wall member arranged on a side surface of the well main body. The bottom surface end has a bottom surface structure in contact with a rotating member for allowing the bottom surface end to perform the circular movement in a position leaning from a center line of the well main body toward the side wall member.

Abstract: Provided is at least one method of suppressing, in an immunoassay using surface plasmon-field enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy (SPFS), nonspecific signals generated by nonspecific adsorption of contaminants contained in a sample to an SPFS sensor section (e.g., a primary antibody, a solid-phase layer and a metal thin film). At least one method relates to a method of suppressing nonspecific signals originating from contaminants in an immunoassay using surface plasmon-field enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy (SPFS) (including cases where a receptor for a compound to be measured is used in place of a primary antibody), the method comprising performing at least one pretreatment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for acquiring auxiliary information useful to assist a diagnosis or treatment of prostate cancer. The method for acquiring auxiliary information of the present invention is a method for acquiring auxiliary information to assist a diagnosis or treatment of prostate cancer, and includes a step (C) of dividing a concentration value of a prostate specific antigen having a ?-N-acetylgalactosamine residue at a non-reducing terminal of a sugar chain, contained in a sample derived from a living body, by a volume value of prostate of the living body to calculate the concentration value of the GalNAc-PSA per prostate volume.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods that are for acquiring various types of supplementary information used for diagnosis or treatment of prostate cancer, and that can be implemented in a less-invasive manner at a low cost. Provided are, by measuring the content of prostate specific antigen (PSA) having a ?-N-acetylgalactosamine residue at a non-reducing terminal of a sugar chain in a specimen, and comparing the measured value with a threshold value, (1) a method for estimating whether a Gleason score (primary pattern and secondary pattern) is not less than or less than a prescribed value, (2) a method for estimating whether the pathological stage (pT) is not less than or less than a prescribed value, and (3) a method for acquiring information for assessment indicating diagnosis or treatment should be actively conducted because a GS at gross total removal is expected to be higher than a GS at biopsy.

Abstract: Provided is a method of obtaining an index value used for pathological tissue diagnosis of prostate cancer, which method has low invasiveness and can be performed at a low cost. The method is a method of estimating a Gleason score that represents the malignancy of prostate cancer, which method includes: measuring the content of a prostate-specific antigen having an N-acetylgalactosamine residue at a non-reducing terminal of a sugar chain in a sample; and estimating that the Gleason score is 7 or higher when the thus measured value is larger than a threshold value, or estimating that the Gleason score is 6 or lower when the measured value is smaller than a threshold value. The prostate-specific antigen is preferably quantified by a method including the step of binding a molecule having an affinity for ?-N-acetylgalactosamine residue, such as Wisteria floribunda lectin, soybean agglutinin, Vicia Villosa lectin or an anti-?-N-acetylgalactosamine antibody, to the prostate-specific antigen.
