摘要:
Disclosed is a FAST (Flexible Accelerated STOP TetO-knockin) system, an efficient method for manipulating gene expression in vivo to rapidly screen animal models of disease. This invention further discloses a single gene targeting event yielding 2 distinct knockin mice—STOP-tetO and tetO knockin—which permit generation of multiple strains with variable expression patterns: 1) knockout, 2) Cre-mediated rescue; 3) tTA-mediated misexpression; 4) tTA-mediated overexpression; and 5) tTS-mediated conditional knockout/knockdown. Using the FAST system, multiple gain- and loss-of-function strains can therefore be generated on a timescale not previously achievable. These strains can then be screened for clinically-relevant abnormalities. The flexibility and broad applicability of the FAST system is demonstrated by targeting several genes encoding proteins implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders: Mlc1, Neuroligin 3, the serotonin 1A receptor, and the serotonin 1B receptor.

An image-processing apparatus for generating images from a plurality of viewpoints comprises a supplementation section that receives images captured by a plurality of image capturing devices arranged on a predetermined plane and generates supplemental images at a plurality of supplemental camera positions on the predetermined plane, each supplemental image being generated based on images captured by a predetermined number of the image capturing devices on the predetermined plane; and a viewpoint image generation section that generates a viewpoint image from a viewpoint by selecting pixels from the plurality of supplemental images and captured images.
摘要:
A variable capacitance device that achieves a desired capacitance even when factors causing varied capacitances are generated is configured such that a capacitance detection pulse signal is applied from a capacitance detection signal generation unit to a driving capacitor and a reference capacitor of a MEMS mechanical unit. The device voltage of the driving capacitor based on the capacitance detection signal and a driving voltage is applied to the inverting input terminal of a comparator. The device voltage of the reference capacitor based on the capacitance detection signal and the driving voltage is applied to the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator. The comparator generates a comparison output signal including “Hi” and “Low” values from the difference between these device voltages, and applies the output signal to a driving voltage generation unit. The driving voltage generation unit increases or decreases the driving voltage based on the comparison output signal.

Provided is a battery which has less tendency to experience delamination or loss of short circuit prevention layer and/or active material layer during manufacture and use.A battery comprising a laminated electrode assembly in which a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator are laminated together; wherein an alumina-containing layer containing γ-alumina particles is formed on at least one species selected from among the group consisting of the positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator. The fact that alumina-containing layer(s) is or are made to contain γ-alumina particles makes it possible to obtain high bond strength between alumina-containing layer(s) and electrode(s) comprising metal(s), current collector(s) and/or active material(s) making up electrode(s), and/or separator(s).

In the method for manufacturing a translucent rigid substrate laminate according to the present invention, translucent rigid substrates are placed opposite to each other such that bonding surfaces thereof are parallel to each other, both rigid substrates are brought toward each other while being kept parallel, the both rigid substrates are preliminarily bonded using a photo-curable fixing agent, the bonded translucent rigid substrates are roll-pressed, and the fixing agent is then cured.
摘要:
A management information generating method wherein logical and physical block addresses (BAs) of continuous addresses are associated with each other in the BA translation table. When a logical block is constructed, a value is set for a maximum number of allowable defective physical blocks. A logical block having fewer defects than the set number is set usable, and a logical block having more defects than the set number is set unusable. System logical block construction is performed to preferentially select physical blocks from a plane list including a large number of usable blocks to equalize the number of usable blocks in each plane list. It is determined whether the number of free blocks is insufficient on the basis of a first management unit and whether the storage area for the indicated capacity can be reserved on the basis of the management unit different from the first unit.
