Abstract: A film forming method includes preparing a substrate having an amorphous silicon film on a surface thereof, diffusing nickel into the amorphous silicon film by supplying a nickel source gas to the amorphous silicon film, and forming a polycrystalline silicon film by heating the amorphous silicon film, and crystallizing the amorphous silicon film by metal-induced lateral crystallization using the nickel diffused in the amorphous silicon film as a nucleus.

Abstract: The coil component includes a coil, a first core having a first magnetic permeability, and a second core having a second magnetic permeability lower than the first magnetic permeability. The first core and the second core form a magnetic path. The coil forms two or more winding windows. The first core contacts with an entirety of one side line extending in a second direction of each of the winding windows, and protrudes from both ends of one side line of at least one of the winding windows. The second core contacts with three side lines other than the one side line of each of the winding windows. A surface resistance of the first core between two points that are 20 mm away from each other is not less than 5 ? after a high-temperature storage test. A drive frequency of the coil component is not less than 20 kHz.

Abstract: A novel cell culture method for inducing differentiation of a pluripotent stem cell into trophoblast and an automatic culture apparatus therefor includes: a first step of culturing the pluripotent stem cell in a presence of a ROCK inhibitor during a first time period; a second step of culturing the pluripotent stem cell, which has been subjected to the first step, without the ROCK inhibitor during a second time period following the first time period; and a step of culturing the pluripotent stem cell, which has been subjected to the second step, in the presence of the ROCK inhibitor during a third time period following the second time period, in which the pluripotent stem cell is cultured in a state of being adhered to a cell culture substrate including a planar mesh through the first to third time periods.

Abstract: Blade of a hair clipper includes a fixed blade, and a movable blade for cutting hair by reciprocating and sliding on fixed blade in one direction. Furthermore, the fixed blade also includes sliding contact surface P2 on which the movable blade can slide, and skin contact surface P3 that can come into contact with skin. In a first state, sliding contact surface P2 is inclined with respect to skin contact surface P3 such that a distance between sliding contact surface P2 and skin contact surface P3 is decreased toward a distal end side of the fixed blade, and movable blade is configured to be slidable on sliding contact surface P2 of fixed blade in an intersecting direction intersecting with the one direction. Distal end part of fixed blade includes uniform part having a uniform thickness in a thickness direction intersecting the one direction and the intersecting direction.

Abstract: A method of crystallizing an amorphous silicon film includes depositing the amorphous silicon film on a seed layer formed over a substrate while heating the amorphous silicon film at a first temperature, and forming a crystal nucleus in an outer layer of the amorphous silicon film by causing migration of silicon in the outer layer by heating the amorphous silicon film at a second temperature higher than the first temperature.

Abstract: An abnormality detection method includes: supplying a gas controlled to a selected rate to a gas supply pipe via the gas pipe connected to the gas supply pipe, thereby introducing the gas into a reaction region of a processing container provided in a processing apparatus from a gas hole of the gas supply pipe; measuring a pressure inside the gas pipe by a pressure gauge attached to the gas pipe; and detecting an abnormality of at least one of the gas supply pipe and the gas pipe based on the pressure measured at the measuring.

Abstract: An analysis method is provided that ensures objective and quantitative analysis for analyzing time-series images.

Abstract: Provided is: a cell culture membrane, which is free from materials derived from living organisms, can easily be industrially mass-produced, exhibits superior long-term storage properties and chemical resistance, has excellent cell adhesion properties and long-term culture properties and is capable of replicating a cell adhesion morphology that is similar to that of collagen derived from living organisms and being used for conventional cell cultivation. Also provided are a cell culture substrate, and a method for manufacturing the cell culture substrate. In the present invention, as a cell adhesion layer, a polymer membrane represented by formula (I) is formed on the base of a cell culture substrate so as to have a membrane thickness equal to or greater than 0.2 ?m (in the formula, R1 and R2 represent a —(CH2)n—NH2 moiety (n is an integer of 1-10 inclusive.) or H, with at least one of R1 and R2 being a —(CH2)n—NH2 moiety. Moreover, l and m are positive integers expressing polymerization degree).
