PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a dyeing method and a dyeing device capable of properly dyeing a transparent resin such as a plastic lens while restraining generation of color unevenness.SOLUTION: A dyeing method for fixing a dye to a transparent resin material by heating the transparent resin material of which surface is coated with the dye includes: a heating step in which a laser beam having a wavelength less apt to be absorbed by the dye is emitted to the transparent resin material of which surface is coated with the dye, and a fixation is carried out by heating an area of the transparent resin material to be dyed by relatively scanning the transparent resin material with the laser beam. The heating step includes a step for heating by irradiating the transparent resin material with the laser beam while changing a laser beam irradiation condition such that the heating temperature on the transparent resin material due to the laser beam irradiation is substantially identical in an entire area to be dyed.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a specific and new tumor marker capable of achieving early diagnosis of small cell lung cancer.SOLUTION: As a result of performing proteome analysis of protein/peptide discharged to culture supernatant of a cultured cell line derived from a human lung cancer in order to search tumor marker candidate substances useful for diagnosis of early-stage lung cancer, such a result that proNT/NMN (proNeurotensin/Neuromedin N) is discharged to the culture supernatant of SBC3 to be a cultivated cell line of the small cell lung cancer but the proNT/NMN is not detected on the culture supernatant of lung cancer cell lines (adenocarcinoma, large cell cancer, squamous cell carcinoma) other than the small cell lung cancer is found out. Consequently, the small cell lung cancer can be diagnosed by measuring the manifestation amount of the proNT/NMN in a biological sample collected from human being by a primer set or a probe for detecting existence of the proNT/NMN.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device, method, and program for analyzing breath sound that has enhanced accuracy for detecting abnormal sound such as aspiration.SOLUTION: The device 11 for analyzing breath sound includes: a breath sound information acquiring part 31 for acquiring breath sound information presenting continuous breath sounds made by a subject for a predetermined period; a breath sound extracting part 35 for extracting each breath sound from the continuous breath sounds based on the breath sound information acquired by the breath sound acquisition part 31; a suspicious breath sound detecting part 36 for extracting one breath sound or a plurality of breath sounds as a reference from the breath sounds extracted by the breath sound extracting part 35, and detecting, based on the reference breath sound, a suspicious breath sound suspected of an abnormal breath sound made by the subject when not in a normal condition.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a local fertilizing machine that locally makes holes in soil in the vicinity of cultivated trees and throws fertilizer in each bored holes.SOLUTION: In the local fertilizing machine, an undercarriage 1 having a ground-traveling means 3 includes a drive means 5, a boring drill 7 and a fertilizer input means 9. The ground-traveling means is rotated and driven by the drive means, the boring drill is arranged in the vertical direction in a state in which a tip 7a is faced downward at the side of the undercarriage, the boring drill is lifted and lowered and rotated by the drive means to make holes in the vertical direction in soil in the vicinity of cultivated trees. The ground-traveling means stops rotation while the boring drill makes holes. The fertilizer input means throws a fertilizer in the holes bored by the boring drill.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drip infusion measuring sensor which is inexpensive, can be miniaturized, and allows a nurse or others to easily and precisely carry out the measurement.SOLUTION: The drip measuring sensor 1 attachable to a drip cylinder 3 of a natural-drop-type drip set 2 has a body case 4 attachable to the drip cylinder 3, and a sensor part 5 arranged in the body case 4 for detecting or measuring the drop or the number of drops of infusion liquid naturally dropping through the drip cylinder 3. The body case 4 has a groove 4a capable of accommodating the drip cylinder, and an elastic holding member 16 arranged in the groove 4a and detachably fitting the drip cylinder 3 when accommodating the drip cylinder 3. Further, the sensor part 5 has a light emitting part 5A and a light receiving part 5B arranged while facing each other at positions to avoid the elastic holding member 16 on both the sides of the drip cylinder 3 accommodated in the groove 4a.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for efficiently recovering water-soluble protein contained in a processing solvent of animal food.SOLUTION: The apparatus 10 for recovery includes heaters 11a-11c arranged with electrodes 21 and 22 arranged in a pair. The aggregate of water-soluble protein in a processing solvent is produced by energizing the electrodes 21 and 22 in a condition of equally keeping a flow velocity in a cross section in a direction which the processing solvent L crosses a flow direction in a heating chamber 23. The aggregate becomes lump and is produced in the heating chamber 23 without adhering to the inner peripheral surface of the heaters 11a-11c, and the aggregate is recovered from the processing solvent L through a filter 27. Water-soluble protein having a different molecular weight is fractionally recovered by increasing the temperature of the heater on a downstream side rather than an upstream side.
