| 20120310594 | INCLINATION ANGLE CALCULATION DEVICE - An inclination angle calculation device comprises a motion detector for detecting motions of a traveling object during travel, in two directions included in a cross-section surface of the traveling object, the two directions being orthogonal with each other; and an arithmetic unit for calculating an inclination angle of the traveling object during travel in the cross-section surface, using a frequency of the motion in one of the two directions and a rolling frequency in the other direction of the two directions. | 12-06-2012 |

| 20110244485 | ANTI-TUNA VASA ANTIBODY - An object of the present invention is to provide a means for distinguishing between a germ cell derived from a donor (tuna) and a germ cell derived from a recipient in a method for inducing differentiation of a tuna germ cell, wherein a primordial germ cell derived from the tuna is transplanted into an early embryo of the heterologous recipient fish. The present inventors compared a Vasa amino acid sequence of bluefin tuna with those of other fish (black skipjack, skipjack, chub mackerel, blue mackerel, round frigate mackerel and frigate mackerel), identified amino acid sequence regions specific to bluefin tuna, and, by using the amino acid sequences specific to bluefin tuna as antigens, successfully produced monoclonal antibodies specifically recognizing primordial germ cells, spermatogonia, oogonia or oocytes derived from bluefin tuna, thus accomplishing the present invention. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20100198492 | Center-of-Gravity Detection System, Lateral Rollover Limit Velocity Estimation System, and Cargo Weight Estimation System - A center-of-gravity detection system includes a vehicle capable of carrying cargo and adapted to be towed by a towing vehicle, a shake detector configured to detect shakes in the directions of the self-weight and width of the towed vehicle during travel of the towed vehicle, and an arithmetic unit. The arithmetic unit is configured to derive, based upon physical quantities that correlate with the shakes, the location of the center of gravity, in three-dimensional space, of the towed vehicle. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100132056 | Germ Cell Marker Using Fish Vasa Gene - In order to examine whether or not a germ cell derived from a donor fish, which has been transplanted into a recipient fish of a different species by a surrogate fish technique, grows or matures in the gonad of the recipient fish, it is necessary to use, as an indicator, a trait that is specifically expressed in the germ cell and can be used to distinguish the recipient fish from the donor fish. Vasa gene, which is a germ cell-specific gene, is specific to a primordial germ cell and a spermatogonium/an oogonium, and it is not expressed in a somatic cell. In the present invention, the Vasa gene sequences of a tuna, a chub mackerel, a spotted mackerel, an eastern little tuna, and a drumfish are determined, and the expression of such gene is used as a marker for a germ cell. In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to specifically detect only a tuna Vasa gene in Vasa gene sequences that are highly conserved in fishes, without sequencing. Thus, a tuna-derived germ cell can be reliably and simply identified in the gonad of the recipient fish. As a result, the growth or breeding of tuna can be carried out with good efficiency. Moreover, utilizing the aforementioned findings, even in a case in which not only a tuna but also another Perciformes fish is used as a donor, a germ cell derived from the donor fish can be efficiently detected from the gonad of a recipient fish of a different species. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20090060951 | DNA VACCINE FOR KOI HERPES VIRUS (KHV) DISEASE - The present invention provides a DNA vaccine for carps for inducing protective immunity against Koi herpesvirus (KHV). The DNA vaccine comprises a DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an immunogenic polypeptide against Koi herpesvirus (KHV) of carps, or an expression vector comprising the DNA as an active ingredient. | 03-05-2009 |
