Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a sample from remaining on the verge of a transfer destination container, and to prevent the sample from remaining in a channel even in the case of disposing waste liquid in order to prevent mutual contamination in the case of transferring the sample by using a simple mechanism.SOLUTION: A microchip includes: a first layer; a second layer; an intermediate layer containing an elastic member disposed between the first layer and the second layer; a first channel disposed between the first layer and the intermediate layer to link a transfer source tank in which a sample is packed to a transfer destination tank as the transfer destination of the sample; a second channel connected to the transfer destination tank, which is different from the first channel; and a first shutter part disposed between the second layer and the intermediate layer so as to be overlapped with the first channel from the arbitrary position of the first channel to the neighborhood of the transfer destination tank. The first channel is closed by applying a pressure to the first shutter part, and the channel is opened by extracting the pressure to the first shutter. In a state that the first channel is closed by applying the pressure to the first shutter, the sample transferred to the transfer destination tank is pushed out to the second channel.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fluid mixer for preventing productivity and maintainability from decreasing and improving operability and reliability even if no precise pressure control is used. SOLUTION: The fluid mixer 10 includes channel selection mechanisms 6a, 6b in mixing tank channels 3a, 3b. As the pressure of liquid 1a is increased gradually, the channel selection mechanism 6a limits the channel to a branch channel 3a at a prescribed pressure or lower, feeds the liquid 1a to a valve 5b, and closes down the mixing tank channel 3b. When the liquid 1a exceeds a prescribed pressure, the channel selection mechanism 6a also permits a channel to a mixing tank 9 and feeds a liquid to the mixing tank 9. The mixing tank channel 3b has been closed down by the valve 5b, thus preventing the liquid from being fed from the mixing tank 9 to a supply tank 2a. Similarly, liquid 1b also does not flow into the supply tank 2a and is fed to the mixing tank 9. In the fluid mixer 10, it is not necessary to operate the valves from the outside, thus preventing a flow from the mixing tank to the supply tank even if the pressure and flow rate of the liquid are not controlled strictly.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a temporal positive example, and to advance active learning when any positive example does not exist, or rarely exists. SOLUTION: A learning data storage part 131 stores the group of learning data configured of a plurality of describers and a plurality of labels. When there is not or rarely positive example whose desired label is turned to be a desired value in the learning data storage part 131, a control part 150 generates a temporary positive example by rewriting the value of the desired label with the value of another similar label. An active learning part 140 learns a rule by using the temporary positive example and a negative example, and predicts the positive example likeliness of each candidate data by applying the learned rule to the group of candidate data stored in a candidate data storage part 133 whose desired label is unknown, and selects data to be learnt the next based on the prediction result, and outputs the data form an input/output device 110. Afterwards, the data whose desired label's actual values are inputted from an input/output device 110 are removed from the group of the candidate data, and added to the group of the learning data.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To predict a natural stereoscopic structure by judging whether or not the stereoscopic structure can be actually obtained, and deciding a pair constituting a pair in an array. SOLUTION: A connecting energy holding part 11 holds the connecting energy of each constituting unit of protein and nucleic acid arrays. A partial array combination generating part 13 generates all the pairs of the two partial arrays of an array 15 in which an inputted stereoscopic structure is unknown. A connecting energy calculating part 12 calculates the connecting energy for all the combination of the two partial arrays by using the connecting energy from the connecting energy holding part 11. A hop field neural network part 14 sets the connecting energy calculated by the connecting energy calculating part 12 as an initial value, and predicts the combination of the partial arrays for generating the minimum connecting energy while fulfilling the constraint of the stereoscopic structure as the arrayed secondary structure of a protein or nucleic acid array in which the inputted stereoscopic structure is unknown.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the recognition accuracy and the maximum likelihood of a partition point by using two kinds of neural networks, and executing the recognition of a partition by taking notice of an electrocardiogram waveform of that time and a timewise structure of the partition. CONSTITUTION:At the time of recognizing a partition at the time point (t), a value of an electrocardiogram waveform to be recognized and a prediction Ft of the partition of the time point (t) of a partition buffer 14 are inputted to a pattern associative type neural network 12. Consequently, a recognition result Kt of the partition of the time point (t) is obtained as the output of the pattern associative type neural network 12. This recognition result Kt becomes the input of a recurrent neural network 13. Thus, the prediction Ft+1 of the partition of a time point (t+1) is obtained as the output of the recurrent neural network 13. This prediction Ft+1 is stored in the partition buffer 14, and used for recognizing the partition at the time point (t+1). The partition buffer for holding the prediction of the partition of the next time point is initialized prior to the recognition.
