The present invention provides a method for producing a nucleic acid molecule that can obtain a nucleic acid molecule that binds to a target and does not inhibit a function of the target. The production method for a nucleic acid molecule of the present invention is a method for producing a nucleic acid molecule that binds to a first biological molecule and does not inhibit a function of the first biological molecule, the method including the steps of: (A) bringing a candidate nucleic acid molecule into contact with the first biological molecule to select a nucleic acid molecule that has bound to the first biological molecule as a first selected nucleic acid molecule; and (B) selecting the first selected nucleic acid molecule as an intended nucleic acid molecule.

A data transmission system for cellular phones. A video data encoder encodes video data, and an audio data encoder encodes audio data. A video data storage unit stores encoded video data, and an audio data storage unit stores encoded audio data. A multiplexer multiplexes video data from the video data storage unit and audio data from the audio data storage unit. An audio signal detector measures the audio level of the inputted audio data and generates a data write control signal for controlling the video data encoder and the audio data encoder and an audio detected signal for controlling a multiplexing controller which generates a data read control signal for controlling the video data storage unit and the audio data storage unit and generates a data multiplexing control signal causing the multiplexer to output one of the video data, the audio data, and the multiplexed video and audio data.

All two-character chains including two general characters and all three-character chains including one special character between two general characters are detected from a registration character string in which a large number of special characters not having any meaning are frequently arranged, or all two-character chains including two general or symbolic characters are detected from a converted registration character string produced by changing each special character of the registration character string to one type of symbolic character determined in correspondence to one general character adjacent to the special character. Also, occurrence frequencies of the general or symbolic characters of each chain are counted and stored in a recording medium with the registration character chains. When a retrieval character chain is input, occurrence frequencies of particular character chains corresponding to all retrieval character chains detected from the retrieval character string in the same manner are read out from the recording medium and are collated with each other, and a particular character string agreeing with the retrieval character chain is retrieved from the registration character string. Because an occurrence frequency of any special character is not counted or the special characters are changed to various types of symbolic characters, a recording area required for the occurrence frequencies of the registration character chains can be reduced.

A division code is added to both ends of a group of pieces of data registered in an item of a data record L and between each pair of adjacent data, so that a piece of code-added data is produced. Thereafter, a character chain pattern (C1,C2) of each pair of adjacent characters C1 and C2 in the code-added data is prepared, an occurrence frequency Fi of each character Ci in each piece of data H is calculated, and character chain information (F1,F2,H,L) corresponding to each character chain pattern (C1,C2) is prepared. Therefore, a index file in which pieces of character chain information prepared for the same item of a plurality of data records are listed is prepared. When a keyword is input by a user, the division code is added to both ends of the keyword to produce a code-added keyword, and a series of keyword character chain patterns is prepared from the code-added keyword in the same manner. Thereafter, a series of particular character chain information (F1,F2,H,L) corresponding to the series of keyword character chain patterns on condition that F2 of first information equals to F1 of second information following the first information and data numbers H and record numbers L are respectively the same value. Therefore, a particular data record L in which a piece of particular data H including the keyword is registered can be quickly retrieved.
