| 20110054638 | REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM - Providing a remote control technique capable of realizing the achievement of constraints and the certain following of a target value even with a network in which delay, loss, distortion, or the like may occur. In a remote control system, an area setting unit of a client-side control unit sets at least two areas representative of a group of states of an target object, which changes over time by feedback control. A state-evaluation information sending unit sends, to the host-side control unit, state evaluation information obtained by evaluating the state of the target object based on the area set by the area setting unit. A target value setting unit of the host-side control unit sets a target value such that the state of the target object changes in the area set by the area setting units. Moreover, a target value updating unit updates the target value based on the state evaluation information received from the client-side control unit. | 03-03-2011 |

| 20100267072 | Formation/Elongation of Axon by Inhibiting the Expression or Function of Singar and Application to Nerve Regeneration - Singar is identified as a novel molecule, whose expression is varied before and after the polarization of a nerve cell, and occurs in the tip of an elongating axon, called a growth cone, which is important for the formation or elongation of an axon. Singar is expressed specifically in the brain and the amount of Singar expression is largely increased in an individual during periods where the formation of axons is increased. It is observed that Singar is highly enriched in the growth cone at the tip of an axon. When the expression of Singar is inhibited in nerve cells in culture, the formation of multiple axons is induced. Thus, the inhibition of Singar can induce axon formation. Therefore, by inhibiting the expression or activity of Singar, it becomes possible to induce or promote the formation or elongation of an axon in a nerve cell. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20090281804 | PROCESSING UNIT, SPEECH RECOGNITION APPARATUS, SPEECH RECOGNITION SYSTEM, SPEECH RECOGNITION METHOD, STORAGE MEDIUM STORING SPEECH RECOGNITION PROGRAM - A processing unit is provided which executes speech recognition on speech signals captured by a microphone for capturing sounds uttered in an environment. The processing unit has: an initial reflection component extraction portion that extracts initial reflection components by removing diffuse reverberation components from a reverberation pattern of an impulse response generated in the environment; and an acoustic model learning portion that learns an acoustic model for the speech recognition by reflecting the initial reflection components to speech data for learning. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20090166514 | Image Sensor - The uppermost metallic wiring layer in light-blocking layers constituted by multilevel metallic wiring that prevents light from impinging on areas other than the light-receiving area of a photodiode in each picture cell is used as a measurement electrode to be directly contacted with a specimen to measure electrical signals. Furthermore, in each picture cell including a circuit for reading out electrical signals collected through the measurement electrode, another circuit for reading out electrical signals generated by the photodiode is provided in an independent or shared form. This configuration enables the photodiode for optical measurements and the measurement electrode for electrical measurements to be provided in every picture cell. Thus, in a hybrid image sensor having an optical measurement function for obtaining optical information due to specimen and an electrical measurement functions for obtaining electrical information due to the specimen, the spatial resolution of both types of two-dimensional images can be simultaneously improved. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090050880 | Method of Fabricating Thin-Film Transistor - The core metal of a protein such as ferritin is used as a nucleus for crystallizing a silicone thin film and then the thus crystallized film is employed in the channel part of a thin-film transistor. By aligning the protein on the surface of amorphous silicone and heating, the crystallinity is controlled. In the case of ferritin, the core diameter of the protein is 7 mm. That is, this protein is highly even in size (i.e., the metal content). Thus, the amount of the protein to be deposited on the amorphous silicone surface can be accurately controlled by controlling the protein core density. Furthermore, the type of the core metal can be altered by chemical reactions and the above method is applicable not only to amorphous silicone but also to amorphous films of various types such as germanium. Thus, the amount of nickel required in crystallization is controlled by using a protein. Moreover, the distribution density of the nickel core is controlled to thereby conduct crystallization at a desired crystal size. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090015919 | Nanosized Euse Crystal and Manufacturing Method Thereof - The present invention has been developed for providing a method to easily manufacture a nanosized EuSe crystal which has been conventionally difficult to be manufactured. Heating the Eu(III) complex whose general formula is represented by the following formula generates an EuSe crystal having a particle size corresponding to the heating condition. Alternatively, the mixture composed of Eu(III) complex, a counter cation, and a solvent may be heated. Since the particle size of the nanosized EuSe crystals can be manipulated by the heating condition, the absorption wavelength of the EuSe crystals can be easily controlled. In addition, since it is easy to create a magnetooptic-responsive plastic using the high dispersibility of the EuSe crystals, it can be immediately applied to an optical isolator or other devices. | 01-15-2009 |

| 20080298422 | Dye Laser Medium, Dye Laser Device, and Laser Sensor - Although having been used for conventional dye laser solvents, organic solvents have a disadvantage of volatility and inflammability, which makes a dye laser device large and cumbersome. In the present invention, which has been developed to solve this problem, an ionic liquid is used as the dye laser solvent. An organic dye stably dissolves in an ionic liquid and the light-emitting property is almost comparable to the case where an organic solvent is used. Since ionic liquids do not have volatility and inflammability, the dye laser medium according to the present invention is extremely easy to handle. In addition, it also has a property that the photobleach is extremely low compared to conventional dye laser mediums using an organic solvent as the solvent thereof. It is easy to obtain a laser sensor for detecting a predetermined specimen with high sensitivity using the dye laser medium according to the present invention. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20080253610 | Three dimensional shape reconstitution device and estimation device - A face model providing portion provides an stored average face model to an estimation portion estimating an affine parameter for obtaining a head pose. An individual face model learning portion obtains a result of tracking feature points by the estimation portion and learns an individual face model. The individual face model learning portion terminates the learning when a free energy of the individual face model is over a free energy of the average face model, and switches a face model provided to the estimation portion from the average face model to the individual face model. While learning the individual face mode, an observation matrix is factorized using a reliability matrix showing reliability of each observation value forming the observation matrix with emphasis on the feature point having higher reliability. | 10-16-2008 |
