  • Publication number: 20240136491
    Abstract: A light emitting device includes a substrate and a light emitting body. The light emitting body includes a plurality of light emitting elements and an insulating body in which the plurality of light emitting elements is embedded except for a light emitting surface of the plurality of light emitting elements. The plurality of light emitting elements is formed from a singulated compound semiconductor layer and is arranged in a row direction and a column direction. The substrate includes a drive circuit, a first terminal, and a second terminal and is joined to the light emitting body. The drive circuit drives the plurality of light emitting elements. The first terminal and the second terminal electrically couple the drive circuit and the plurality of light emitting elements to each other.

  • Patent number: 11702684
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to an enzymatic measurement method using an antibody-enzyme complex or a nucleic acid probe measurement method using an enzyme-labeled nucleic acid probe, in both of which the quantification of a product of a reaction by an enzyme in the antibody-enzyme complex or the enzyme-labeled nucleic acid probe is performed by generating thio-NAD(P)H by an enzymatic cycling reaction using NAD(P)H, thio-NAD(P), and a dehydrogenase (DH), and measuring the amount of the generated thio-NAD(P)H or measuring a change in color caused by the generated thio-NAD(P)H. An enzymatic reaction system in which NAD(P) generated from NAD(P)H by the enzymatic cycling reaction is selectively reduced, is caused to coexist with the enzymatic cycling reaction. The present invention also pertains to a kit for enzyme immunoassay, and a kit for nucleic acid probe measurement.

  • Patent number: 11221299
    Abstract: Provided is a ultra-high-sensitivity assay in which the assay can be made on a commonly used assay apparatus such as an absorptiometer and a plate reader or with naked eyes. The high-sensitivity assay in which the assay can be made on a commonly used assay apparatus or with naked eyes can be provided by combining an enzyme cycling method using thio-NAD(P) as a coenzyme, a labeling enzyme and a substrate for the labeling enzyme optimally, and by amplifying thio-NAD(P)H, which is a signaling substance, exponentially and then quantifying the thio-NAD(P)H colorimetrically.

  • Patent number: 4704034
    Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a gap in the junction area on a folded box which is made of a sheet of smooth corrugated fiberboard by folding the latter while both the folded ends are located opposite to one another with the gap interposed therebetween. The apparatus includes detectors which are disposed along the moving track of the folded box. Each of the detectors includes a slit formed on the moving track at a substantially right angle relative to the latter, the width of the slit being dimensioned more than that of the gap in the junction area on the box, two inclined passages formed in the detector to reach the slit, each of the inclined passages having the substantially same inclination angle relative to the moving track, a light beam emitting mechanism disposed in one of the inclined passages to emit light beam toward the slit and a number of optical fibers longitudinally disposed in the other inclined passage so as to allow reflected light beam to be transmitted therethrough.
