Abstract:
Provided is an FIR filter capable of obtaining predetermined characteristics with a small number of input taps, delay circuits, and multipliers and achieving an improved response and low cost. In a low-pass filter, a band-pass filter, and a high-pass filter based on an FIR filter, a basic filter is configured that gives a basic impulse response function and has a filter coefficient determined from the impulse response function. Filters having different frequency characteristics are configured by changing the time scale or frequency scale of the basic filter. These filters having different frequency characteristics are combined in a cascade form or a step form, thereby constructing an FIR filter having a small number of taps.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a superconducting film having a substrate and a superconductor layer formed on the substrate, in which nano grooves are formed parallel to a current flowing direction on a substrate surface on which the superconductor layer is formed and two-dimensional crystal defects are introduced in the superconductor layer on the nano grooves, and a method of manufacturing this superconducting film. A superconducting film of the invention, which is obtained at low cost and has very high Jc, is useful in applications such as cables, magnets, shields, current limiters, microwave devices, and semifinished products of these articles.
Abstract:
A method for constructing a functional nucleic acid molecule comprising 1 or 2 nucleic acid strands, wherein 2 or more fragments having at corresponding ends a functional group pair that can mutually couple through a chemical reaction are introduced into a cell, and a functional nucleic acid molecule comprising 1 or 2 nucleic acid strands is formed by ligating mutually the fragments through a reaction between the functional groups in the cell.
Abstract:
The expression level of a histamine-releasing factor (HRF) polynucleotide in a biological sample of a subject is measured and the HRF polynucleotide content is compared with that of a normal biological sample. An HRF polynucleotide expression level considerably higher than that of the normal biological sample is employed as an indication of a disease relating to endometriosis or a risk thereof.
Abstract:
[PROBLEMS] To provide an integrated circuit design method realized as a photomask/photomaskless fusion method wherein a photomask trial method and a photomaskless trial method are fused with each other so as to obtain both a merit of the photomask trial method allowing production of trial chips without producing photomasks and a merit of the photomaskless trial method allowing use of pattern information for a trial production as pattern information for a mass production trial. To provide a design assistance program and an integrated circuit design system used in such an integrated circuit design method. [SOLVING MEANS] A trial integrated circuit is produced based on pattern information for a trial production, without using a photomask, under a common design circumstance which can be utilized in both a photomaskless step of producing an integrated circuit based on pattern information without using a photomask and a photomask step of producing an integrated circuit based on pattern information with using a photomask, with the pattern information for the trial production complying with both the photomaskless step and the photomask step. A common pattern information is prepared by evaluating the trial integrated circuit and by modifying the pattern information for the trial production in accordance with results of the evaluation, if necessary, without being modified. A photomask for a mass production is produced by carrying out a formal conversion of the common pattern information, if necessary.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a stable isotope-labeled amino acid which is at least one of amino acids constituting a protein and which has at least one of the following labeling patterns: (a) hydrogen atoms except at least one hydrogen atom in one or more methylene groups are deuterated, (b) hydrogen atoms in one of prochiral gem-methyl groups are completely deuterated, (c) hydrogen atoms in prochiral methyl groups are partially deuterated, and (d) all hydrogen atoms except one of them in methyl group are deuterated and hydrogen atoms in the aromatic ring are partially deuterated. With the stable isotope-labeled amino acid, the deuteration of protein can be attained without damaging the NMR sensitivity of remaining hydrogen nucleus and, in addition, the rapid, accurate analysis of NMR spectrum of a high-molecular protein which is beyond the limitation in the prior art and the determination of the stereo-structure can be performed at the same time.
