Abstract: Disclosed is a method for evaluating cell differentiation state, including inducing pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into mesodermal cells in a liquid medium by a first differentiation treatment for inducing pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into mesodermal cells and a second differentiation treatment for inducing the mesodermal cells to differentiate into cardiomyocytes; collecting a supernatant of the liquid medium comprising cells induced to differentiate by the second differentiation treatment; and measuring miRNA-3p in miR-1/133a cluster in the supernatant, where the miRNA-3p is at least one selected from a group consisting of miR-1-3p and miR-133a-3p, and the measured value of miRNA-3p is an index of differentiation into cardiomyocytes.

Abstract: An information communication apparatus includes a processor and a memory coupled to or integrated with the processor and is configured to designate a communication destination by selecting a desired recipient from plural recipients displayed in a list form in an operation screen, in which the processor displays, for the recipients, recipient names, which are names of the recipients, displays, in front of each of the recipient names, a letter icon including a combination of an initial letter of each recipient name in a case in which the recipient names are written with phonetic characters, and a figure, sorts the recipients in a predetermined display order based on the initial letter included in the letter icon, and displays the sorted recipients in the operation screen.

Abstract: A wire bonding method comprises: preparing a wire bonding apparatus; a step of forming a free air ball; a first height measuring step of measuring the height of a first electrode by detecting whether the free air ball is grounded to the first electrode; a second height measuring step of measuring the height of a second electrode by detecting whether the free air ball is grounded to the second electrode; a first bonding step of controlling the height of a bonding tool based on the measurement result in the first height measuring step, and bonding the free air ball to the first electrode; and a second bonding step of controlling the height of the bonding tool based on the measurement result in the second height measuring step, and bonding a wire to the second electrode to connect the first and the second electrodes. Thus, electrodes can be correctly bonded.

Abstract: A discharge examination device for examining discharge of a wire-bonding apparatus that applies a voltage between a torch electrode and a wire to procure the discharge therebetween includes a current detection unit, a timer unit and a discharge determination unit. The current detection unit detects a discharge current flowing through the wire. The timer unit measures discharge detection time after application of the voltage before detection of the discharge current. The discharge determination unit determines whether or not the discharge is abnormal based on the discharge detection time. With this, a discharge examination device, a wire-bonding apparatus, and a discharge examination method that are capable of detecting abnormality of discharge are provided.
