More particularly, this invention relates to new heterocyclic compounds and salts thereof which display bradykinin antagonist activity, to processes for preparing these compounds, to a pharmaceutical composition comprising these compounds, and to methods of using same in the prevention and/or the treatment of bradykinin- or bradykinin analogue-mediated diseases such as allergy, inflammation, autoimmune disease, shock, pain, or the like, in human beings or in animals.
Abstract:
To achieve more appropriate interpolation of a missing pixel, an image is input to a processing section for interpolation. The interpolation is applied utilizing image data of pixels located around the pixel to be interpolated. Specifically, correlations between the image data of the pixels to be interpolated, and pixel data in a horizontal direction, vertical direction, and diagonal direction, are compared to one another; pixel data having stronger correlation is used for the interpolation. Correlation between the image data of the pixels to be interpolated and which direction is strong is determined, so that different weighting for interpolation is used accordingly.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an image synthesizer including an image frames memory which memorizes a plurality of image frames which are produced by continuously taking pictures of a subject, an image synthesizer which synthesizes a plurality of image frames to a summation image, an image brightness adjuster which adjusts brightness of the summation image by synthesizing the image frames with the image synthesizer, and a display which displays the summation image which is being synthesized by the image synthesizing means in the image brightness adjusting processing.
Abstract:
[Problems] To provide a useful compound as an active ingredient for a preventing and/or treating agent for rejection in the transplantation of an organ, bone marrow, or a tissue, an autoimmune disease, or the like, which has an excellent S1P1 agonist activity.[Means for Solving] Since the compound of the invention has an S1P1 agonist activity, it is useful as an active ingredient for a treating or preventing agent for a disease caused by unfavorable lymphocytic infiltration, for example, an autoimmune disease such as graft rejection in the transplantation of an organ, bone marrow, or a tissue, a graft-versus-host disease, rheumatic arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, a nephrotic syndrome, encephalomeningitis, myasthenia gravis, pancreatitis, hepatitis, nephritis, diabetes, pulmonary disorder, asthma, atopic dermatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, atherosclerosis, ischemia-reperfusion injury, or an inflammatory disease, and further, a disease caused by the abnormal growth or accumulation of cells such as cancer and leukemia.
Abstract:
In a computer generation of a dither mask for conversion of a continuous-tone image into a halftone image, a pixel array having a size in accordance with the dither mask is partitioned into blocks. Initial pixel values are determined such that the occurrences of pixel values will be substantially uniform in the blocks. A pair of exchange target pixels are selected at random from the pixels in one of the blocks and function values of a predetermined evaluation function that indicates a characteristic of the pixel value configuration of the pixels in this block are computed for the two cases where pixel values are exchanged among the exchange target pixels and where not exchanged. These function values are compared to judge whether exchange should be performed.
