| 20100098883 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING ONE-DIMENSIONAL NANOSTRUCTURE - A method and apparatus for producing one-dimensional nanostructures are disclosed. The production of the nanostructures is carried out by disposing a vanadium containing target facing a substrate; irradiating the target with laser light; and depositing target sublimation materials to the substrate under pressure conditions so that a plasma, which is generated by the laser light irradiation including target sublimation materials and gas atmosphere, does not substantially reach the substrate. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100233874 | METHOD FOR FORMING FUNCTIONAL ELEMENT USING METAL-TO-INSULATOR TRANSITION MATERIAL, FUNCTIONAL ELEMENT FORMED BY METHOD, METHOD FOR PRODUCING FUNCTIONAL DEVICE, AND FUNCTIONAL DEVICE PRODUCED BY METHOD - A method for forming a functional element includes a first step of forming an insulating layer composed of an insulator phase of a transition metal oxide serving as a metal-to-insulator transition material, the transition metal oxide being mainly composed of vanadium dioxide, and a second step of causing part of the insulating layer to transition to a metallic phase, in which the insulator phase differs from the metallic phase in terms of electrical resistivity and/or light transmittance. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100264409 | MOLECULAR DEVICE, IMAGING DEVICE, PHOTOSENSOR, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS - A molecular device includes a gold electrode, cytochrome c552 or a derivative or variant thereof immobilized on the gold electrode, and an electron transfer protein coupled to the cytochrome c552 or the derivative or variant thereof. Electrons or holes, or both, are transferred through the electron transfer protein by transition of electrons between molecular orbitals of the electron transfer protein. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20110003320 | IMMUNOASSAY METHOD AND KIT AND DEVELOPING SOLVENT THEREFOR - An immunoassay method and a kit which comprises a combination of a test piece for immunochromatography and a developing solvent, by which a target substance is detected accurately in a short period of time while a preventing a nonspecific reaction. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110152443 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING POLYMER MATERIAL - A method of manufacturing a polymer material which is allowed to manufacture β-phase PVDF easily and stably in a short time is provided. The method of manufacturing a polymer material includes a step of mixing an ionic liquid and a polymer compound including α-phase polyvinylidene difluoride to form a mixture, and then heating the mixture. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20120012823 | COLOR IMAGING ELEMENT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, PHOTOSENSOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, PHOTOELECTRIC TRANSDUCER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A color imaging element, a photosensor and a photoelectric transducer which use a protein and are capable of being stably used for a long time, and methods of manufacturing them are provided. A zinc-substituted cytochrome c552 is immobilized on a gold electrode with a self-assembled monolayer in between to form a blue-light photoelectric transducer. Alternatively, a cytochrome c552 is immobilized on a gold electrode with a self-assembled monolayer in between, and a fluorescent protein absorbing blue light is bonded to the cytochrome c552, thereby forming a blue-light photoelectric transducer. These photoelectric transducers each are used as a color imaging element or a blue-light photoelectric transducer of a photosensor. | 01-19-2012 |
| 20120021280 | COMPOSITE ELECTRODE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A composite electrode includes a plate-shaped conductor; a plurality of auxiliary electrodes disposed such that ends of the plurality of auxiliary electrodes are connected to a surface of the plate-shaped conductor and the plurality of auxiliary electrodes extend from the surface of the plate-shaped conductor; and an active material layer formed between the plurality of auxiliary electrodes so as to be in contact with the plate-shaped conductor. When the height of the plurality of auxiliary electrodes is defined as h, the center-to-center spacing of auxiliary electrodes facing each other in the plurality of auxiliary electrodes or the spacing of auxiliary electrodes facing each other in the plurality of auxiliary electrodes is h or more and 2h or less. | 01-26-2012 |
