Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a substrate probe capable of detecting enzyme activity with high accuracy and a method for detecting the enzyme activity by a multi nuclear magnetic resonance method using the substrate probe. Multi-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance is performed by using a substrate probe, which is used for measuring enzyme activity by a multi-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance method and characterized by containing a enzyme recognition site that is selectively recognized by an active-state enzyme, as at least one constitutional unit, and a group to which at least three nuclear magnetic resonance active nuclei each having a nuclear spin and a different resonance frequency are connected, being present specifically to the enzyme recognition, thereby detecting presence of the substrate probe and the enzyme activity. Alternatively, imaging of the enzyme activity is performed by a multi-dimensional nuclear resonance imaging method.

Abstract: This invention is directed to image reading capable of suppressing EMI unwanted radiation while maintaining image quality. To accomplish this, the following processing is executed when reading an original image by a photoelectric transducer. More specifically, a first driving signal where SSCG spread modulation is applied, and a second driving signal where no SSCG spread modulation is applied are generated from a reference signal. Either the first or second driving signal is selected, and a timing signal for reading the original image is generated based on the selected driving signal. The image signal obtained by the photoelectric transducer is latched using the timing signal. The latched image signal is transferred for subsequent image processing. Upon reading a one-line image original, the second driving signal is selected till the completion of the latch operation, and after the latch operation, the first driving signal is selected for an image signal transfer operation.

Abstract: A receiving apparatus does not frequently activate a host processor in a sleep mode, so that it is possible to reduce a time overhead when the host processor transitions from a sleep mode to a running mode, also suppress power consumed in the overhead time and improve communication performance. With this apparatus, a communication interface circuit (101) extracts packet data from a signal received from a network. A communication interface control circuit (102) decides whether or not packet data is packet data that must be received, and, when the packet data is packet data that must be received, issues an interrupt signal. A power supply circuit (106) supplies power. When receiving the interrupt signal, the host processor (107) executes a program including reception processing.

Abstract: A communication control method accomplishes minimum bandwidth guarantee and maximum bandwidth restriction and further allocates an extra-bandwidth in accordance with user's contact bandwidth. Fixed-length packets are once stored in corresponding partitions of a buffer in accordance with connection information contained in the packets and then transmits the packets from the storage sections in succession. Retrieval of a connection where the number of transmitted packets does not reach a lower-limit throughput and a packet to be transmitted exists in the corresponding partition is made with first priority, and retrieval is further made in order for a connection where the number of transmitted packets does not reach an intermediate throughput and a connection where the number of transmitted packets does not reach an upper-limit throughput. If the retrieval shows a hit connection, the packets are transmitted from the corresponding partition and one-time retrieval comes to an end.

Abstract: An ATM header conversion circuit for realizing bidirectional header conversion through the use of a simple arrangement using only one entry data storage device. The entry data storage device stores bidirectional header data in a state associated with each of a plurality of addresses. The ATM header conversion circuit partially collates inputted header data with one of entry data groups placed in the entry data storage device on the basis of mask bits which designate the collation bit positions of the inputted header data, and outputs, as new header data, the header data of the other entry data group at the addresses where the partial collation shows coincidence.
