  • Patent number: 8014088
    Abstract: Described is an image capturing apparatus, which makes it possible to accurately secure the distance between the two lens groups, even if the interval distance between the two lens groups varies from the default design-distance value. The image capturing apparatus includes a first lens group, a second lens group, a first driving section to drive the first lens group, a second driving section to drive the second lens group, a first detecting section to detect a first reference position for moving the first lens group, and a second detecting section to detect a second reference position for moving the second lens group. A control section controls either the first driving section or the second driving section so as to move a corresponding one of the first lens group and the second lens group between the first detecting section and the second detecting section at a predetermined timing.

  • Patent number: 7081348
    Abstract: There is provided an immunoassay by which the amount of human medullasin present inside granulocytes, which are one leukocyte component in blood, can be determined with high accuracy and with good reproducibility. Also provided is an immunoassay of medullasin, wherein when measuring the medullasin in blood using an anti-human medullasin antibody, the determination of the amount of human medullasin in a blood sample using said anti-human medullasin antibody is carried out after treating the blood sample with an aqueous liquid having a specific osmotic pressure different to the osmotic pressure of blood to completely break up the leukocytes. Also provided is a method of diagnosing multiple sclerosis characterized in that the human medullasin content of a blood sample is measured using an immunoassay, and the onset of multiple sclerosis and the extent of the disease is diagnosed according to the size of, or changes in, this measured value.
