Abstract: Provided is a cancer stem cell mass from which cells incapable of forming cancer are substantially removed and which has a characteristic property of reproducing a layered structure of a cancer tissue; a process for producing the cancer stem cell mass; and use of the cancer stem cell mass. A human cancer tissue was repeatedly grown in a NOG mouse, separated cancer cells from the grown cancer tissue, and tested and compared various cancer cell culture processes. As a result, a cancer stem cell composition which is homogeneous and is substantially free of the coexistence of cells capable of forming cancer and cells incapable of forming cancer in a mixed state can be produced successively by employing an attached culture process using a serum-free stem cell culture medium rather than a generally employed floating culture process.

Abstract: Provided is an air conditioner including an indoor unit provided with a microphone element for receiving voice instructions, such that a voice instruction spoken by an operator is acquired with high quality and control based on the voice instruction spoken by the operator is likely to be ensured. The air conditioner includes an indoor unit, a transmission unit, and a reception unit. The indoor unit has a main body and a microphone element. The main body has formed therein a blow-out port through which air-conditioned air is blown out toward a space to be air-conditioned. The microphone element accepts a voice instruction captured from a voice capturing portion arranged at a position that deviates from a ventilation space through which the air blown out from the blow-out port flows, in such a manner as to face the space to be air-conditioned. The transmission unit transmits the voice instruction accepted by the microphone element to an outside as a signal.

Abstract: A displaying input device, including a display, a touch-sensitive panel, a storage device, and a controller, is provided. The controller executes a detecting process, wherein a pointer position of a pointer based on position information output from the touch-sensitive panel and a specific operation performed by the pointer are detected; an initial display process, wherein an overall image based on data stored in the storage device is displayed in an initial size at a selectable image display area in an image displayable region; an enlarged image display process, wherein an enlarged image being a part of the overall image is displayed in an enlarged size in an enlarged image display area in the image displayable region; and a selection acceptance process, wherein selection of one of selectable images in the overall image which is displayed at a released position, where a releasing operation is performed, is accepted.

Abstract: A liquid consuming device, including an attachment case, to which a cartridge including a first compartment is attachable, a first channel connectable with the first compartment, a tank including a second compartment connected with the first channel, a second channel connected with the second compartment, a head connected with the second channel, a display, and a controller, is provided. The controller controls, in response to a first remainder amount being an amount of a liquid in the cartridge being greater than or equal to a first predetermined amount, the display to display a first screen including a first object indicating the first remainder amount, and controls, in response to the first remainder amount being smaller than the first predetermined amount, the display to display the first screen including a second object, which indicates a second remainder amount being an amount of the liquid in the tank.

Abstract: A non-transitory storage medium stores instructions executable by a display device including an image taking device and a display. The instructions cause the display device to perform: displaying a real-space image being taken by the image taking device; displaying a content disposed in an augmented reality space and the real-space image in combination, when a marker associated with the content exists in the real-space image; keeping displaying the content, when an instruction for keeping displaying the content is provided with the content being displayed; displaying the content when the instruction is not provided and when the marker exists in the real-space image; and not displaying the content when the instruction is not provided and when the marker does not exist in the real-space image.
