Abstract:
A gain of a buffer provided on a performance board of a semiconductor test apparatus can be adjusted for testing image sensors with high accuracy. The performance board includes buffers for driving cables, and switches for inputting either a measurement signal from a device under measurement or a reference signal output from a reference signal generator. During calibration, the switches are turned to terminals to which the reference signal is input, such that the reference signal is applied to the buffers. Then, the gains of the buffers are corrected so that the output of an analog capture board has a desired value.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a hematopoietic stem cell proliferation inducing agent which comprises a pulverized product of placenta-constituting cells as an active ingredient and can induce/proliferate a hematopoietic stem cell in the peripheral blood. Since the proliferation inducing agent can induce/proliferate a hematopoietic stem cell to increase the amount of hematopoietic stem cells in the peripheral blood, it becomes possible to ensure the increase in the amount of hematopoietic stem cells in the peripheral blood. The proliferation inducing agent can be used for the prevention and treatment of various diseases which are caused or believed to be caused by the decrease in the amount of hematopoietic stem cells (e.g., leukemia, malignant lymphoma, aplastic anemia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction) and produces extremely small adverse side effects.
Abstract:
A plurality of lattice dots are disposed in a rectangular shape and set as a block, and they are regularly and continuously disposed, and a dot that forms one of the lattice dots which exists in the block is disposed by being shifted unidirectionally and is set as a key dot, and by setting the key dot as a representative point, a plurality of information dots are disposed, and by setting a center which was surrounded by the lattice dots of four points as a hypothetical point, and by setting this as a start point of a vector, at an end point of which, a plurality of information dots which have various information are arranged in accordance with a predetermined rule by a dot code generation algorithm to thereby generate a dot pattern.
Abstract:
An objective of the present invention is to facilitate the acquisition of antibody-producing cells that are infiltrating virus-infected cells, cancer cells, abnormal cells forming a benign hyperplasia, and the like, and to improve the efficiency of the production of antibodies as well as nucleic acids encoding them from the antibody-producing cells.The present inventors discovered that, when cancer tissues comprising infiltrating lymphocytes are transplanted into highly immunodeficient animals that do not have T cells, B cells, and NK cells and further exhibit a low IFN production ability, the differentiation and proliferation of infiltrating lymphocytes are unexpectedly promoted, and the number of plasma cells that produce antibodies recognizing cancer tissues increases dramatically, plasma cells can be separated easily, and antibodies or nucleic acids encoding them can be easily prepared from the plasma cells.
Abstract:
With the aim of realizing an easy and inexpensive method of realizing a “stealth” dot pattern, whose presence on a medium surface is not visually recognizable, merely through minor improvements in the existing printing technology, the present invention provides dots which form a dot pattern by printing these dots using an ink of any color reactive in the infrared or ultraviolet wavelength range on a medium surface on which a dot pattern is to be formed, for use with a dot pattern reading system that irradiates infrared or ultraviolet light on a medium surface having a dot pattern provided thereon, recognizes the dot pattern by reading the reflections of the light with an optical reading means, converts the dot pattern into the corresponding data, and outputs the text, voice, images and so forth contained in the data.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, when a digital data row A is error-uncorrectable, error correction is carried out on the basis of an error pattern which can be acquired without using syndromes. When a digital data row B after the error correction is error-correctable, error correction is carried out by generating syndromes with respect to the digital data row B by an EXCLUSIVE-OR operation of syndromes at error bit positions and syndromes calculated from the digital data row A.
Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an information recording apparatus includes an input which receives a command, a disk-like recording medium, a non-volatile memory serving as a cache memory for the disk-like recording medium, and a control unit for flashing information recorded in the non-volatile memory to the disk-like recording medium in accordance with a flash command input into the input so as to make a vacant region inside the non-volatile memory.
Abstract:
Making a dot pattern so that misalignment in a x direction and a y direction is alternately generated for every adjacent information dots on a virtual grid line, the misalignment is alternately generated in the x direction and the y direction for each dot and this results in that the alternate information dot is necessarily arranged on the same grid line. Therefore, in the case that an optical reading apparatus reads the dot pattern, a search algorithm of a virtual grid line is simplified on an image memory. As a result, the grid point on the image memory is also easy. Therefore, without using a complicated program, it is possible to speed up the reading speed of the dot pattern.
Abstract:
A drive control device of a DC brushless multi-phase motor performs the speed control of the motor in place microprocessor, the burden on the microprocessor is relieved. The drive control device detects a zero crossing point of the back electromotive force in the non-energizing phase to perform the energizing switching to the coils by the PLL control, and includes a current detection circuit that detects currents flowing through the coils to perform the speed control of the motor based on the detected currents. The drive control device also, compares outputs from speed error detection circuit with outputs from the current detection circuit to determine the currents to be made to flow through the coils, and thereby controls the current output circuit.

According to one embodiment, bit processing units are provided for the 1st to Mth rows (M=p1×m1) of a parity-check matrix that includes a first parity-check matrix and second parity-check matrix adjacent thereto. The first and second parity-check matrices include (n1×m1) permuted matrices and (n2×m2) permuted matrices, respectively. The bit processing units sequentially update bit information corresponding to column positions included in the respective rows of the first and second parity-check matrices, a bit at each of the column positions being set to “1”. Parity processing units update parity information corresponding to row positions in p1 columns of each of the n1 column blocks of the first parity-check matrix, and corresponding to row positions in p2 columns of each of the n2 column blocks of the second parity-check matrix, a bit at each of the row positions being set to “1”.
