| 20120133671 | Method and System for Processing Mass Analysis Data - In an imaging mass analysis, image information of a sample allows users to grasp specific information about the sample, such as distribution of a portion with a particular function or effect. The mass spectrum intensity data are normalized for each pixel so that the sum of the intensities over the entire mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) is one. Entropy is calculated by totaling the product of the intensity normalizing at each m/z and the logarithm of that intensity over the entire m/z range. After the entropy is calculated for each pixel, the pixels are colored according to their entropy values to display a two-dimensional color image of entropy distribution. The entropy of a cancerous portion is relatively small because of a high content of a specific kind of substance and the simplified composition of the substances. Thus, the cancerous part and the normal part of the entropy image can be distinguished. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20120123254 | LYMPHATIC PRESSURE-MEASURING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - The present invention has an object to measure lymphatic pressure with more safety and ease at lower cost. To achieve this, a lymphatic pressure-measuring system | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120028879 | HIGHLY SENSITIVE DETECTION METHOD FOR HIGHLY VIRULENT ORAL CAVITY BACTERIA - Provided is a method that involves the detection of protein antigen (PA) and/or collagen-binding protein (CBP) of oral cavity bacteria in a sample, and in which oral cavity bacteria that exacerbate hemolysis are detected for and/or subjects at high-risk for hemolysis aggravation are screened anchor the level of risk of the hemolysis aggravation in a subject is assessed if a PA is not detected anchor a CBP is detected in the sample. Also provided are a detection reagent and kit for use in the method. | 02-02-2012 |
| 20120010498 | OPERATION SUPPORTING DEVICE, METHOD, AND PROGRAM - Surgical operation supporting apparatus and method is disclosed in which based on a high-definition tomographic images of an operation site produced before surgery, a three-dimensional model of the operation site is generated, and a surface of the operation site is optically measured during the surgical operation, and further, first position information that represents a three-dimensional position of each of points on the surface is acquired. An unexposed portion of the operation site is measured with ultrasonic waves during the surgical operation, and second position information that represents a three-dimensional position of each of points in the unexposed portion is acquired. Based on the first position information and the second position information, displacement and distortion at a portion whose three-dimensional position is not known in the three-dimensional model is estimated to obtain an estimated result. The three-dimensional model is re-corrected by use of a finite element method and the estimated result. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20110266438 | Mass Spectrometer - A mass spectrometer capable of obtaining a clear microscopic observation image with high spatial resolution in real time, even during a mass analysis, without affecting the analysis is provided. An aperture | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110054300 | SURGERY SUPPORT DEVICE, SURGERY SUPPORT METHOD, AND COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORING SURGERY SUPPORT PROGRAM - Presentation of images showing with high resolution the state of a surgical field during surgery is realized with a simple configuration. When performing surgery, a three-dimensional model is generate based on MRI images of a patient captured prior to surgery, and three-dimensional coordinates of each location on a surface of the patient are measured by scanning a laser beam over the surface and detecting laser beam reflected therefrom, and correspondence is made with the MRI image for each location of the surface (frameless/markerless: steps | 03-03-2011 |
| 20100216689 | CYTOTOXIC T CELL ACTIVATOR COMPRISING EP4 AGONIST - Disclosed is a substance which has a low molecular weight, can be applied in a simpler manner, and has an immunopotentiating activity against cancer and/or a microorganism-mediated infectious disease. | 08-26-2010 |
