A liquid crystal optical element having a crystal liquid optical element adapted to positively function as a diffraction element and an optical pickup apparatus including the liquid crystal optical element are disclosed. A transparent electrode having a diffraction pattern is arranged on one of a pair of transparent substrates. A liquid crystal panel has a transparent opposed electrode arranged on the other one of the pair of the transparent substrates. A driving unit generates a phase difference distribution in the liquid crystal layer by generating a potential difference between the transparent electrode and the transparent opposed electrode and causes the liquid crystal panel to function as a diffraction element for diffracting the incoming light beam transmitted therethrough. The diffraction pattern or the transparent opposed electrode is divided into a plurality of regions. The driving unit adjusts the potential difference for each of the regions.

A method for treating a patient having ulcerative colitis, by administering a drug which containing an effective amount of tetracyclines is provided. The drug may also contain penicillins and/or metronidazoles.

Therapeutic agent for ulcerative colitis

An antenna that can ensure a sufficient radio receiving level and a radio-wave receiving device on which the antenna is equipped are provided. The antenna includes a columnar magnetic core formed by a ferromagnetic body, a coil portion wound around the magnetic core, a flat-plate state extension portion extended from an end portion of the magnetic core, and a standing portion provided at least on a one-direction face of the extension portion. Such antenna is suitable for installation on a wrist-watch type radio controlled timepiece, particularly requiring a reduction in size and weight. By this arrangement, while the time display dial is more easily viewable, the radio controlled timepiece ensures that a sufficient standard-wave receiving level is provided.

Disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions of treatment for a patient with ulcerative colitis comprising a drug which can selectively killcells, or a drug which can neutralize the toxin produced bycells, a method for screening such a drug, a method for treating a patient with the disease, a vaccine for the disease, a diagnostic drug, a diagnostic method, an experimental model for the disease and an experimental animal for the disease.

In a programmable power supply used in a semiconductor test apparatus, high-speed switching of a large current in a current rage or an output relay is enabled. In a MOSFET drive circuitof a switch portionprovided in a programmable power supplyof a semiconductor test apparatus, a capacitor portion-is charged with electric charges by a current from a light receiving portion-of a light insulating element-. When an SWA is turned on (SWB is turned off) by changeover of the analog switch portion-, a gate of each MOSFET in the MOSFET portionis charged with the electric charges stored in the capacitor portion-, and enters an ON state. On the other hand, when the SWB of the analog switch portion-is turned on (SWA is turned off), the gate of the MOSFET is discharged.

A disk playback apparatus such as a CD player comprises a case and a lift unit which is supported to be movable in the vertical direction to the case. The lift unit comprises a playback unit, a turntable, a holder drawing member, and the like. A magazine which is adapted to be loaded in the case accommodates therein disk holders, each of which hold one of different-sized disks. A control link having a holder butting pin and a disk control pin is movably mounted on the playback unit which is urged in the direction of departing from the disk by means of a release spring. When the disk holder reaches its accommodation position, the disk holder butts against the holder butting pin and rotates the control link slightly, thereby the disk control pin compulsively corrects the position of the disk. Thus the disk is certainly transported to the normal chucking position on the playback unit irrespective of the disk accommodated state in the disk holder.

Disk playback apparatus, disk changer device, and disk magazine device

A disk apparatus has a playback unit. In the playback unit, a drive plate having thereon a turntable and a spindle motor is compulsively mechanically driven by drive cams of a first and second driving plates, and then mechanically locked at a lower position or upper position. A clamp arm having a clamper is driven toward the drive plate with a biasing force of a spring, and resiliently locked at an upper position or lower position. A disk engaging section for engaging in a disk hole of a disk is formed on the clamper. A projection which is adapted to project through the disk engaging section is formed on the turntable. The disk is well chucked and the disk apparatus is ensured to perform a stable operation.

A method for measuring the metabolic utilization rate of oxygen in an internal organ or tissue, wherein a portion of the organ or tissue to be diagnosed is subjected to interruption of oxygen supply and then measured biospectroscopically. Reflection spectral characteristic variations per unit of time are measured. The measured information is converted into an electrical signal to indicate the metabolic rate.

The present invention relates to a method of detecting an abnormality of cell growth in an organ or tissue of a body and various optical assemblies for accomplishing the same. The present invention has discovered that diagnosis of incipient abnormal tissue growth such as cancer can be accomplished in vivo by exerting a predetermined pressure on the suspected tissue or organ and by subsequently comparing the relative effect on reflection from or light absorption of the tissue or organ. An optical probe can be utilized for scanning the suspected tissue or organ and recording an initial reflecting characteristic. Subsequently the tissue or organ is placed under a predetermined pressure to provide a second reflection characteristic. A comparison of the two signals will permit a diagnosis of the condition of the tissue or organ. As can be appreciated, a fiber optic bundle can be used for the optical probe and a data processor can automatically compute either the difference or the ratio of the two signals with a corresponding display or printing of the information. Alternative embodiments are disclosed herein.
