Abstract:
Polynucleotides which are novel causative genes for cancer are elucidated, and a detection method of the polynucleotides or polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides, and a kit and a primer set for detection are provided, based on the knowledge gained by the elucidation. In the detection method, a fusion gene comprising part of an SDC4, CD74, EZR, SLC34A2, LRIG3, or TPM3 gene and part of a ROS1 gene, or a fusion protein encoded by the fusion gene is detected. The primer set or the detection kit comprises a sense primer designed based on a portion encoding SDC4, CD74, EZR, SLC34A2, LRIG3, or TPM3 and an antisense primer designed based on a portion encoding ROS1.
Abstract:
A camera unit which is capable of coping with both a case where it is largely displaced from a preset position and a case where it is slightly displaced from the same, and makes it possible to enhance accuracy and reliability in displacement correction. A zoom/focus control circuit and a pan/tilt control circuit drive the camera unit. A memory stores preset information indicative of a shooting position and a focal length of the camera unit. A correction image memory stores correction images shot at different focal lengths at the shooting position. An image comparison circuit compares between an image shot by the camera unit at the shooting position and the stored correction images, and calculates a displacement amount. A CPU corrects the driving amount of the pan/tilt control circuit based on the calculated displacement amount.
Abstract:
A microscope system includes an image acquiring unit that acquires a specimen image formed by capturing a specimen multi-stained by a plurality of pigments using a microscope; a pigment amount acquiring unit that acquires a pigment amount of each pigment staining a corresponding position on the specimen, for each pixel of the specimen image; and a pigment selecting unit that selects a display target pigment from the plurality of pigments. The system also includes a display image generating unit that generates a display image where a staining state of the specimen by the display target pigment is displayed, on the basis of the pigment amount of the display target pigment in each pixel of the specimen image; and a display processing unit that displays the display image on a display unit.
Abstract:
A recording apparatus includes a recording unit, a determination unit, a generation unit, an identification unit, and a control unit. The recording unit records image data on a recording medium. The determination unit determines plural recording media to be allocated to a same group. The generation unit generates order information indicating an order of each recording medium in the group. The order information includes identification information identifying each recording medium. The identification unit identifies a recording medium in the group based on the identification information. The control unit controls the recording unit to record, on each of the plural recording media belonging to the same group, information representing an order of the identified recording medium in the group and information representing a total number of the recording media belonging to the same group, based on an identification result obtained by the identification unit and the order information.
Abstract:
A recording apparatus includes a recording format selection unit configured to select one of a plurality of recording formats, an initialization unit configured to initialize a loaded recording medium, a recording unit configured to record image data on the loaded recording medium, and a mode switching unit configured to switch between an ordinary recording mode that enables the initialization unit to initialize a newly loaded recording medium based on a recording format selected by the selection unit independent of a recording format selected for a preceding recording medium and a relay recording mode that enables the initialization unit to initialize a newly loaded recording medium, if loaded after a preceding recording medium, based on a recording format selected for the preceding recording medium.

Abstract:
An external AF focus detecting apparatus capable of achieving both good focus detection accuracy for a subject in a short distance and an appropriate amount of processing for a subject in a long distance is provided. In the case where the distance to the subject is less than a predetermined threshold value, with respect to accumulation pixels SA5 to SA25 selected in one of a pair of line sensors, pixels are selected in the other line sensor so as to include more pixels in the direction of shift of an optical image of a field of view, namely, pixels SB5 to SB29 are selected as accumulation pixels. Alternatively, pixels included in a range obtained by shifting by a predetermined number of pixels from the range of the accumulation pixels that have been selected in the one line sensor are selected as the accumulation pixels in the other line sensor.
Abstract:
A pixel selection unit sets an area based on a detection result of a contrast detection unit, in a case where it is determined that reliability of a focusing state detected by a phase difference detection unit is low.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a medical diagnosis support device, which is capable of acquiring information to support medical diagnosis for easily and precisely determining chromosome abnormality and/or gene amplification related to cancer or genetic disorder.The medical diagnosis support device for acquiring information to support medical diagnosis from an image of a specimen stained by multiple staining, the image is obtained by photographing the stained specimen with transmitted light, the device comprises: staining characteristics quantity acquisition means for acquiring characteristics quantity of each staining, based on a pixel value of the image of the stained specimen; marker intensifying means for intensifying a marker, based on the characteristics quantity of each staining thus acquired; marker extracting means for extracting the marker of each staining, based on the characteristics quantity in which the marker has been thus intensified; marker state judging means for judging a state of the marker, based on the marker of each staining thus extracted; and marker state identifying and displaying means for identifying and displaying the marker state, based on the judgment result.
Abstract:
In a recording apparatus that is capable of recording information on a plurality of recording media, i.e., first and second memory cards, the information is recorded on the first and second memory cards simultaneously, the information that has been recorded only on one of the memory cards is left and the information recorded on the other is deleted in dependence upon the available capacities of the memory cards at the end of recording. Performing recording in this manner makes it possible to store continuous data collectively on a single recording medium to the greatest extent possible.
