Abstract: A measurement apparatus includes external terminals configured for connection to a device-under-test (DUT), the external terminals including first and second force terminals and first and second sense terminals. The measurement apparatus further includes a controller and a feedback loop configured in a current feedback mode to sense a current flowing from the first force terminal to the second force terminal, and in a voltage feedback mode to sense a voltage across the first and second sense terminals. The measurement apparatus further includes a measurement path configured to measure a least one of a voltage and current across a pair of the external terminals and to supply the measured at least one of the voltage and current to the controller.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a discharge rollers pair, a sheet pressing member and a discharge tray. The sheet pressing member includes a first rotational shaft, a detection piece and a corrugation piece. The corrugation piece protrudes in a radial direction different from a protruding direction of the detection piece from the first rotational shaft. When the detection piece is turned at a first angle into a first posture, the corrugation piece is changed into a contact posture where the corrugation piece comes into contact with the sheet to apply stiffness on the sheet. When the detection piece is turned at a second angle into a second posture, the corrugation piece is changed into a retracting posture where the corrugation piece separates from the sheet.

Abstract: A pipette tip leading end detection device for detecting that a leading end of a pipette tip is close to a reference surface set to a reaction vessel includes a pipette nozzle, pump, nozzle driver, pressure sensor that detects a pressure generated between the pipette tip and pump, and hardware processor. The hardware processor obtains a determination value using an AD conversion value obtained from the pressure while the pipette nozzle is being lowered, and detects that the leading end of the pipette tip is close to the reference surface on the basis that the determination value is a threshold value or more. The determination value is a calculation value indicating a pressure change speed calculated from AD conversion values within a past certain time and the threshold value is a value larger than maximum noise.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming section, a casing, an operation panel, a locking mechanism, and a cutoff section. The image forming section forms an image on paper. The casing houses the image forming section. The operation panel is movable toward at least one side of the casing. The locking mechanism restricts movement of the operation panel. The cutoff section cuts off supply of electricity to the image forming section. The cutoff section cuts off the supply of electricity to the image forming section while the locking mechanism restricts the movement of the operation panel.

Abstract: An end face inspection apparatus which inspects an end face of an test object, and includes optical system causing an image acquisition unit to form an image of an end face of a held test object, focusing degree changing means for changing a distance between the end face of the test object and a focal position of the optical system, and a control unit processing image data acquired in the image acquisition unit. The end face inspection apparatus acquires a series of image data which is output from the image acquisition unit at a preset time interval while the distance between the end face of the test object and the focal position of the optical system is changed, determines whether or not each piece of the image data is focused, and selects focused image data as image data for end face inspection.

Abstract: The present invention provides an antitumor agent having high safety, which is a molecular target drug against malignant tumors. An anti-malignant tumor agent characterized by containing, as an active ingredient, a substance targeting ribosomal proteins shows increased expression in malignant tumor cells. The substance of the present inventions targeting the ribosomal protein showing increased expression in the malignant tumor cell may be a substance involved in one of biological defense mechanisms which are considered to be intrinsically provided in a living body and prevent onset of disease even if cancer cells develop. Specifically, the ribosomal protein showing increased expression is RPL29 and/or RPS4X.
