The present invention provides a method of extracting virus genes, which is excellent in quickness and convenience and can be automated, and this invention also provides an apparatus for such extraction of virus genes. A conductive hollow fiber membrane (module)is immersed in a virus suspensionand thus viral particles suspended in the virus suspensionare captured in the conductive hollow fiber membrane (module). The coating of the thus captured virus is lysed and the virus genes are released. Next, the virus genes are collected by subjecting the conductive hollow fiber membrane (module)to at least one of an electrical treatment and a physical treatment.

This invention provides a method for recovering nucleic acids and a device for the same purpose, which method and device are capable of continuously recovering nucleic acids by enabling the recovery of nucleic acids in one simple operation. This nucleic acid recovering device comprises: a container to which a solution containing micro-organisms is supplied; electrodes which are made of a hollow fiber membrane coated with a conductive metal and which send electricity to the solution; a pulse oscillator which sends pulse waves to the electrodes; and a micropump which draws up the solution within the hollow fiber membrane coated with metal.

Method for recovering nucleic acid and device for the same purpose

A porous hollow fiber membrane is dipped into either a high concentration alkali solution or a high concentration solution of chromic acid and sulfuric acid, etched and then dipped into a palladium ion solution. The membrane is then dipped into a solution containing reducing and complexing agents as well as metallic ions, and subjected to an electroless treatment. In this way, a porous hollow fiber membrane, to which a metallic layer is chemically bonded, can be obtained. The porous hollow fiber membrane is provided in which the bond strength between the membrane and the metallic layer and the amount of metal to be coated are increased. Because of a large amount of metal, it is possible to render the membrane sufficiently electrically conductive.

A two-dimensional coding apparatus for two-dimensionally coding binary image data prepared by way of a FIFO memory, which reduces a time for which a host computer participates to enhance the speed of decoding processing. A two-dimensional coding circuit outputs a signal representing whether data to be read out from a memory are reference line data or coding line data, and in response to the signal and a signal read out from the memory, a circuit consisting of an invertor and a pair of AND gates outputs a read-out signal for a reference line FIFO memory and another read-out signal for a coding line FIFO memory. Consequently, the host computer need not control the memory address outputted from the two-dimensional coding circuit to fetch binary image data from the image data FIFO memory, and the FIFO memories can be used without special hardware means for the memory address control.

A television telephone system utilizes a tone signal of a predetermined duration. The tone signal has a plurality of frequencies and is positioned at the starting portion of a transmission signal. The tone signal reduces the possibility of mis-detection of signals during reception and allows video signals to be transmitted more satisfactorily.
