摘要:
A solid electrolyte structure containing a porous solid electrolyte is prepared. At least the porous solid electrolyte of the solid electrolyte structure is immersed in a first sol solution containing at least a precursor of an electrode active material as a solute. Then, the first sol solution, in which the porous solid electrolyte is immersed, is heated. A solvent of the first sol solution is evaporated by the heating, whereby a pore of the porous solid electrolyte is filled with a high concentration (a large amount) of the electrode active material precursor.

The plain four-finger image determination device includes a cut-out unit which cuts out a fingerprint image of each finger from a plain four-finger image, an extraction unit which extracts a core of a fingerprint from each cut-out fingerprint image and a ridge line direction in the vicinity of the core of the fingerprint, an evaluation unit which makes hand determination and determination of a kind of finger based on a relationship of heights of cores of the fingerprints in the respective fingers, an evaluation unit which makes hand determination and determination of a kind of finger based on a combination of tendencies of ridge line directions each determined for each fingerprint of each finger, and a determination unit which makes ultimate hand determination and determination of a kind of finger based on confidence obtained by merging confidences of both the determination results.

To remove pores stably even in a gray image of low quality. A ridge density threshold calculating means calculates the threshold of a density value considered as a ridge based on a fingerprint image density. A pore extracting means compares and evaluates densities of a group of nearby pixels around a target pixel, and extracts pixels, inside a group of pixels regarded as ridge pixels, as a group of pore pixels. A pore selecting means inspects the pores extracted by the pore extracting means, and selects only appropriate pores. A pore removing means performs fill-in processing to a group of pore pixels selected by the pore selecting means, and if the result is appropriate as a fingerprint ridge, adopts the result.

The present invention has the object of accurately detecting fingerprint fingertip orientation by a process of calculating inner products of ridge directions in the peripheral areas of an inputted fingerprint and radial line directions, finding an inner product sequence in which the inner products are sequenced upon making one revolution from a certain initial point, finding sequence errors between the inner product sequence and a plurality of inner product sequence patterns of differing fingertip orientations for a standard fingerprint, and establishing the fingertip orientation of the inputted fingerprint as the fingertip orientation of the standard fingerprint having the minimum sequence error.

An air conditioner having an indoor unit placed in a room to be heated or cooled, and a draft directing apparatus, such as a vertically tilting louver, which can assume a first position directing an outlet draft toward the location where a user is normally positioned, e.g., downward, and a wecond position directing the output draft away from said location, e.g., upward. The draft directing apparatus is controlled to assume the first position and the second position alternately, in such a manner that the proportion of the time for which the draft directing apparatus is in the first position is adjusted in accordance with the detected temperature of the draft. This adjusts the proportion of the time the draft is directed toward the user, and it is therefore possible to adjust the stimulation affecting the user.

A device for automatically adjusting the tension of a lower thread, which comprises a lower thread bobbin arranged on a bottom plate of a bobbin carrier turnably carrying the bobbin, a loop taker mounted on a magnetic shaft, and an energizing coil arranged around the magnetic shaft and providing together with said bottom plate and magnetic shaft a path of magnetic flux. The device is further provided with a detector detecting the consumed amount of the bobbin thread and a control circuit for energizing the coil when the lower thread is wound to the maximum capacity of the bobbin, interrupting the light of the detector. The detector operates the control circuit to decrease the amount of electric current applied to the energizing coil so as to set the lower thread tension back to its initial predetermined value.

An automatic embroidery machine is driven by information recorded on magnetic tape and utilizes a fixed sewing machine and a movable embroidery frame. An input apparatus registers user-selected points on a coordinate analysis panel, which points form embroidery patterns to be sewn, and causes embroidery information to be recorded upon magnetic tape for subsequent use in the automatic embroidery machine. The automatic embroidery machine and the input apparatus are so designed that after a continuous part of an embroidery pattern has been sewn, the embroidery frame will be moved to a next continuous part of a pattern and the automatic embroidering machine will stop, providing an opportunity for a user to change thread. The automatic embroidering machine cannot be restarted unless the user operates a controller, ensuring safe operation.The automatic embroidery machine is provided with a temporary memory, into which embroidery information is written while the magnetic tape is being read, and from which embroidery information is read out while the automatic embroidering machine is embroidering patterns. The input apparatus is so designed that when an amount of embroidery information corresponding to the predetermined capacity of the temporary memory has been recorded on the magnetic tape, a blank signal is next recorded thereon. The magnetic tape is repeatedly started and stopped, so that embroidery information is transferred in packets into and out of the temporary memory. This operation allows temporary memory capacity to be minimized, reducing cost.

Provided is a test method for the detection of diabetic nephropathy at an early stage as compared to a conventional method. Specifically provided are: a test method for diabetic nephropathy, including detecting urinary podocalyxin; the test method, further including assessing diabetic nephropathy at at least Stage I; a test reagent for use in the test method; and a test reagent kit for use in the test method. The present invention is based on a finding that urinary podocalyxin reflects the development and condition of diabetic nephropathy with high sensitivity at an early stage as compared to urinary albumin.

A ridge direction extraction unit, which analyses the shape of a ridge in a fingerprint image and extracts the ridge direction that indicates the slope of the ridge, includes: a low confidence region density value conversion module that reduces the density values in a low confidence region to generate a density conversion image; a synthesized image generating module for synthesizing a high confidence region and the low confidence region to generate a synthesized image; an auxiliary direction determining function for determining which ridge direction in the synthesized image is to be the auxiliary direction and deriving the degree of confidence in the auxiliary direction; and a high confidence region expanding module for calculating the degree of confidence in the direction, and correcting the ridge direction in the low confidence direction contiguous with the high confidence region so as to increase the degree of confidence in the ridge direction.

Provided is a test method for acute kidney injury, including detecting urinary podocalyxin. According to the test method, a subject to be tested who has a higher value for the urinary podocalyxin than a reference value can be assessed to have acute kidney injury. Further, as compared to a conventional method, the test method allows acute kidney injury to be assessed accurately and non-invasively, which allows a physical burden on a patient to be reduced. Thus, the test method is useful.
