Photodetection with high wavelength selectivity is performed based on a change in the initial voltage of the current-voltage characteristic. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090068752 | Method for Preparing Analysis Sample, Analysis Sample and Sugar Chain Capture Agent - A method for preparing an analysis sample which involves the sugar chain capture step comprising a reaction of capturing a sugar chain and/or a sugar derivative from a biological sample by using a sugar chain capture agent and the excision step comprising excising a compound containing a moiety capturing the sugar chain and/or the sugar derivative from the sugar chain capture agent after the completion of the sugar chain capture reaction and releasing the compound. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090068739 | Cell culture scaffold, methods of manufacturing the scaffold and cell culture methods - A cell culture scaffold containing a gel having a network structure comprised of a synthetic polymer such that cultured cells spread in a shorter time and the number of adsorbed cultured cells per unit area is larger than in the case of using a gel having a network structure comprised of polyacrylic acid, while taking advantage of synthetic polymers with low manufacturing cost, easy quality control and no risk of virus infection in cultured cell. Used as the cell culture scaffold is a gel containing a synthetic polymer obtained by polymerization or copolymerization of a monomer having a sulfonic group such as p-styrenesulfonic acid sodium salt (NaSS) and 2-acrylamide-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid sodium salt (NaAMPS). | 03-12-2009 |

| 20080317287 | Image processing apparatus for reducing effects of fog on images obtained by vehicle-mounted camera and driver support apparatus which utilizies resultant processed images - Kalman filter processing is applied to each of successive images of a scene obscured by fog, captured by an onboard camera of a vehicle. The measurement matrix for the Kalman filter is established based on currently estimated characteristics of the fog, and intrinsic luminance values of a scene portrayed by a current image constitute the state vector for the Kalman filter. Adaptive filtering for removing the effects of fog from the images is thereby achieved, with the filtering being optimized in accordance with the degree of image deterioration caused by the fog. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20080287809 | Biological information measuring apparatus and biological information measuring method - A biological information measuring apparatus measures information of a living body by irradiating the living body with light. The apparatus includes: a first light source irradiating the living body with light; a second light source irradiating the living body with light; and a light receiving section constituted by a plurality of light receiving elements that receives reflected light reflected by the living body or transmitting light transmitting through the living body, during light irradiation of the living body. In the biological information measuring apparatus, the first light source and the second light source are disposed so that a first distance between the light receiving section and the first light source is different from a second distance between the light receiving section and the second light source. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080262681 | Apparatus for controlling lighting angle of headlights of vehicle - An apparatus is provided to control a lighting angel of headlights installed in a vehicle. In the apparatus, a curve of the road is calculated and the radius of the curve is obtained, based on the current position and the road information. The curve is located ahead of the vehicle. A distance from the current position to a starting point of the curve is calculated based on the current position and the road information. Determination is made as to whether or not the curve is an S-shaped curve based on the road information, and line-shape information showing a line shape of the S-curve is set in response to the determination results of the curve. A lighting angle of the headlights is calculated based on the radius of the curve, the distance and the line-shape information, and the lighting angle of the headlights is controlled based on the calculated lighting angle. | 10-23-2008 |
