TL;DR: Various aspects of mechanistic roles of natively unfolded conformations of proteins are overviewed and discussed in this short review.
Abstract: From genes to cells there are many steps of hierarchical increments in building up complex frameworks that provide intricate networks of macromolecular interactions, through which cellular activities such as gene expression, signal processing, energy transduction and material conversion are dynamically organized and regulated. The self-assembly of macromolecules into large complexes is one such important step, but this process is by no means a simple aggregation of macromolecules with predefined, rigid complementary structures. In many cases the component molecules undergo either domain rearrangements or folding of disordered portions, which occurs only following binding to their correct partners. The partial disorder is used in some cases to prevent spontaneous assembly at inappropriate times or locations. It is also often used for finely tuning the equilibrium and activation energy of reversible binding. In other cases, such as protein translocation across membranes, an unfolded terminus appears to be the prerequisite for the process as an initiation signal, as well as the physical necessity to be taken into narrow channels. Self-assembly processes of viruses and bacterial flagella are typical examples where the induced folding of disordered chains plays a key role in regulating the addition of new components to a growing assembly. Various aspects of mechanistic roles of natively unfolded conformations of proteins are overviewed and discussed in this short review.

20 Feb 2003TL;DR: In this paper, a medicine supply apparatus consisting of a plurality of tablet cases 3 for accommodating medicine and charges or supplies medicine into a bag 72, which medicine has been discharged from each tablet case 3 based on a prescription is provided.
Abstract: A medicine supply apparatus which comprises, in a case accommodating section 8, a plurality of tablet cases 3 for accommodating medicine and charges or supplies medicine into a bag 72, which medicine has been discharged from each tablet case 3 based on a prescription. An identification code 26 is provided for each of the tablet cases 3 and read by an optical sensor 33 provided inside the case accommodating section 8, whereby discharge of medicine is controlled. A motor 14 for driving a discharge drum for the tablet case 3 is checked for disconnection by being regularly energized. The operating time and the frequency of operation of parts that wear out, such as the motors, are stored for use in failure prediction. Time slots in which medicine should be taken are printed, each in a different color, by a color printing mechanism 73 on the bag 72 into which medicine is charged.

10 Sep 2001TL;DR: In this article, a handsfree video phone system includes a video phone terminal and a car device in which a microphone, a speaker, and a camera are connected with an instrument panel via a cable.
Abstract: A handsfree video phone system includes a video phone terminal and a car device in which a microphone, a speaker, and a camera are connected with an instrument panel via a cable. The video phone terminal is connected with the instrument panel via a wireless communication medium. When the video phone terminal is brought into the vehicle, the instrument panel informs the video phone terminal of the attribute information on the system structure. According to the attribute information, the video phone terminal switches the paths of multiplexed audio-video data so as to replace a microphone, a speaker, a camera, and a display that have been built in the video phone terminal with the microphone, the speaker, the camera, and a display of the instrument panel when the status changes to the communication status.

25 May 1994TL;DR: An apparatus for recognizing contours of a preceding vehicle from road images input by the use of vehicle-mounted cameras is described in this paper, which includes image input video cameras, A/D converters, image memories, an image processing MPU, a display, an output interface, and a display controller.
Abstract: An apparatus for recognizing contours of a preceding vehicle from road images input by the use of vehicle-mounted cameras is described. The cameras view an object in front of the vehicle having the apparatus thereon and measure a distance to the recognized preceding vehicle. The apparatus includes image input video cameras, A/D converters, image memories, an image processing MPU, a display, an output interface, and a display controller.

23 Jan 2007TL;DR: In this paper, an insulator is connected to the back surface of a photoelectric conversion part, and a first through-hole electrode penetrating the insulator and electrically connected to a first collector electrode, and then a second throughhole electrode connecting to a second collector electrode.
Abstract: Solar cells each include: an insulator connected to a back surface of a photoelectric conversion part; a first through-hole electrode penetrating the insulator, and electrically connected to a first collector electrode; and a second through-hole electrode penetrating the insulator, and electrically connected to a second collector electrode. In addition, a wiring member is disposed on the insulator.
