Abstract: A mandrel has an outer peripheral member that shapes an outer peripheral surface of a mandrel, and a regulation member that regulates movement of the outer peripheral surface toward the radially inner side. A manufacturing device for a tubular member includes a radial movement mechanism that deforms the outer peripheral surface by actuating the regulation member into the outer peripheral surface in a winding shape and the outer peripheral surface in a separable shape, the separable shape being obtained by moving the outer peripheral surface in the winding shape toward the radially inner side and allowing the mandrel and the tubular member to be separated in the axial direction of the mandrel.

Abstract: A method of producing a honeycomb structure includes producing a honeycomb structure using methyl cellulose as at least part of a binder, the methyl cellulose having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 4,000,000 to 5,000,000, and having an integral molecular weight distribution value of components having a molecular weight of 100,000 or less in the integral molecular weight distribution curve of 15 or less.

Abstract: A tank mounting technique of the invention effectively responds to a variation in size of a high-pressure tank T in its longitudinal direction and allows positioning of the high-pressure tank T around its longitudinal axis. A tank receiving recess 110 provided below a vehicle platform F has a pair of a front inclined surface 112F and a rear inclined surface 112R arranged to face each other across a concave groove 114. A side face of the high pressure tank T is brought into contact with both the inclined surfaces 112F and 112R. An end face of a tank positioning groove TVS formed on the high pressure tank T is brought into contact with a contact structure 121 of a tank edge bracket 120. This arrangement enables the high-pressure tank T to be positioned in a vehicle vertical direction and a vehicle front-back direction, as well as in the tank longitudinal direction (in a vehicle width direction).

Abstract: A method of estimating, in addition to haplotype frequencies and diplotype configurations, a means and a standard deviation determining a distribution of a quantitative phenotype by the diplotype on the basis of data on observed genotypes and phenotype data taking a continuous value.

Abstract: Multi-dimensional scaling is used to solve characteristic polynomials of similarity matrixes, in order to determine a minimal-number SNP set (htSNPs (haplotype-tagging SNPS)) for identifying an arbitrary number of haplotypes in blocks with strong linkage disequilibrium. Thus, unnecessary SNP typing in blocks with strong linkage disequilibrium can be avoided.

Abstract: A method of simultaneously estimating a diplotype-based penetrance as well as haplotype frequencies and diplotype configurations on the basis of observed genotype and phenotype data. The method includes a step a of calculating, on the basis of genotype data and phenotype data with haplotype frequencies and penetrance used as parameters, the maximum likelihood (L0max) obtained by maximizing likelihood under the hypothesis that there is no association between predetermined diplotype configurations and a predetermined phenotype, the maximum likelihood estimates of haplotype frequencies and penetrances, the maximum likelihood (Lmax) obtained by maximizing likelihood under the hypothesis that there is an association between the predetermined diplotype configurations and the predetermined phenotype; and a step b of calculating the penetrance from the maximum likelihood estimate obtained in said step a.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a panel unit having a curved panel and a directly extruded molding. The peripheral edge of the curved panel is moved relative to an extrusion port of an extrusion molding die and a resin molding material is simultaneously extruded directly onto a peripheral edge of the curved panel. While extruding the molding material, the peripheral edge of the curved panel is tilted in response to movement of the curved panel relative to the extrusion port in order to maintain a constant angle between the peripheral edge of the curved panel and the extrusion port.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a panel unit including a panel and a directly extruded molding. The peripheral edge of a panel is moved along a predetermined orbital path with respect to an extrusion port of a molding die, and a resin molding material is simultaneously extruded directly onto the peripheral edge of the panel. The directly extruded molding has a predetermined external dimension, irrespective of the external dimension of the panel.

Abstract: An operation portion reads an analyzing time and an analyzing flow rate from a storing portion for a next analysis to calculate a liquid delivery quantity per analysis for the next analysis, and transmits the liquid delivery quantity per analysis to a comparison portion. The comparison portion compares a pump capacity and the liquid delivery quantity per analysis, and when the comparison portion determines that the pump capacity is larger than the liquid delivery quantity per analysis, a control portion allows a mobile phase in the next analysis to be delivered by only one cycle discharging operation in a low flow rate mode. Thus, in a micro-liquid chromatography, influence of a pulsating flow can be suppressed.

Abstract: A bus arbitration system uses different arbitration rules at different times, by periodically changing the priority order of the bus masters; by masking further bus requests from a particular bus master for a certain interval each time that bus master is granted the use of the bus; by masking requests from bus masters other than a central processing unit for certain intervals while the central processing unit is processing an interrupt; by raising the priority of a particular bus master if a bus request from that bus master remains unacknowledged for a certain interval; or by ignoring bus requests from the central processing unit while another bus master is performing a certain process.

Abstract: Methods for preparing a panel unit having a panel and a frame in which a first molding piece is formed by engaging an extrusion port of an extrusion molding die with a peripheral edge of the panel and extruding an extruded molding material along the peripheral edge of the panel. The extruded molding material preferably simultaneously bonds to the peripheral edge. Waste pieces may be eliminated from the first molding piece after bonding the first molding piece to the peripheral edge and the frame may be completed by adding an additional molding piece to provide a continuously formed frame around the peripheral edge. The first molding piece may be formed by continuously moving the peripheral edge relative to the extrusion port in a predetermined orbital path. The peripheral edge of the panel may be subjected to a primer treatment before engaging the extrusion port.

Abstract: Bit data of a received video signal is partially converted into a first signal representing a data sequence corresponding to the resolution of an LED head. The first signal is transmitted to the LED head in the form of a real printing data signal that is to be printed on a basic raster line in synchronism with a line timing signal. The remaining bit data of the received video signal, which are not converted into the first signal, are converted into a second signal representing another data sequence, and then stored in a line buffer. The second signal stored in the line buffer is transmitted to the LED head in the form of a real printing data signal that is to be printed on an additional raster line in synchronism with an additional line timing signal. The LED head drive energy with which the basic raster lines are printed and another LED head drive energy with which the additional raster lines are printed are set independently of each other. The LED head may be provided with such a resolution function.
