A printing apparatus includes a printer to perform printing on a first target object and a second target object by ejecting a liquid in a first direction, a first finger holder on which the first target object is placeable, and a second finger holder on which the second target object is placeable. A first adjustor adjusts a first distance in the first direction between the first target object placed on the first finger holder and the printer, and a second adjustor adjusts a second distance in the first direction between the second target object placed on the second finger holder and the printer. In addition, a controller controls at least one of the first adjustor and the second adjustor such that the first distance is smaller than the second distance in a case of printing on the first target object. The first adjustor and the second adjustor use a same motor as a drive source.

[Object] It is an object of the present invention to provide a conjugate of a biotin-modified dimer and a phthalocyanine dye, which is used in photoimmunotherapy. [Means for Solution] A compound represented by the following formula (1) or a salt thereof:

Conjugate of biotin-modified dimer and phthalocyanine dye

An object of this invention is to provide a streptavidin mutant reduced in affinity to the naturally-occurring biotin, and to provide a modified biotin which shows a high affinity to such streptavidin mutant reduced in affinity to the naturally-occurring biotin. This invention can provide a compound composed of a dimer of modified biotin, a streptavidin mutant, and usage of them.

Modified biotin, streptavidin mutant, and usage of them

An object of this invention is to provide a streptavidin mutant reduced in affinity to the naturally-occurring biotin, and to provide a modified biotin which shows a high affinity to such streptavidin mutant reduced in affinity to the naturally-occurring biotin.

The present invention is directed to an image information decoding apparatus adapted for performing infra-image decoding based on resolution of color components and color space of an input image signal. An intra prediction unit serves to adaptively change block size in generating a prediction image based on a chroma format signal indicating whether resolution of color components is one of 4:2:0 format, 4:2:2 format, and 4:4:4 format, and a color space signal indicating whether color space is one of YCbCr, RGB, and XYZ. An inverse orthogonal transform unit and an inverse quantization unit serve to also change orthogonal transform technique and quantization technique in accordance with the chroma format signal and the color space signal. A decoding unit decodes the chroma format signal and the color space signal to generate a prediction image corresponding to the chroma format signal and the color space signal.

A record/playback device includes a recording unit, an operation unit, an interface unit, and a control unit. The recording unit is configured to record an image including one or more frames as one clip and play back a recorded image. The operation unit is configured to have a combined operating element including a first operating element and a second operating element. The interface unit is configured to prepare a list of clips by collecting specific frames for a predetermined number of clips. The control unit is configured to carry out control of changing a clip operated on the basis of the operation direction of the first operating element and to prepare a menu-displaying command signal to display a menu on which items for operating the clip are described when the second operating element is operated.

Image capture apparatus, record/playback device, and menu-operating method
