Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110091907METHOD FOR DETECTION OF LIVER CANCER CELL USING ANTI-GLYPICAN-3 ANTIBODY - The present invention relates to an in-vitro immunoassay method for detecting the presence of liver cancer cells in a subject. In the method of the present invention, antigen retrieval treatment based on heat-induced epitope retrieval method and antigen retrieval treatment based on protease-induced epitope retrieval method can be combined in the detection of glypican 3 antigen expression in liver cancer tissues to thereby detect the difference in the expression level or expression pattern of the glypican 3 antigen by immunohistochemical staining method. This enables samples, which has been determined by the conventional HIER method as highly expressing glypican 3, to be graded according to the expression level of glypican 3.04-21-2011

20080278349Vehicle Deviation Preventing Control Device - A vehicle speed V is compared with a threshold Vth; when V is less than Vth, TLC is set to an initial value t11-13-2008
20090009305Vehicle Derailing Prevention Device - A vehicle speed V is read (step S01-08-2009
20090048738Driving Assistance System and Driving Assistance Method - In a driving assistance system having an actuator (02-19-2009
20090171533Driving Assist System - A driving assist system assists steering such that a vehicle travels along a set target course. A steering torque sensor detects a steering torque that serves as a steering operation input value generated by a driver. If the steering torque value is equal to or greater than a preset reference value and a direction corresponding to the steering torque is a direction away from another vehicle present ahead in an adjacent lane, then an ECU corrects the target course to a course that moves away from the other vehicle.07-02-2009
20090194350STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM AND STEERING ASSIST METHOD - A steering assist system for applying a steering torque reduces the influence of a time-dependent steering control amount on an assist steering torque when a predetermined driving operation by a driver is detected. Thus, the influence of the time-dependent steering control amount on the applied steering torque, which increases when the period of time over which actual moving state deviates from the target moving state increases is reduced when the driver makes the predetermined driving operation. Thus, it is possible to avoid the problem where steering feel degrades because the steering torque increases over time.08-06-2009
20090265062STEERING SUPPORT DEVICE - An object of the present invention is to provide a steering assist device which can perform steering assist control having excellent capability to follow up a traveling path by increasing the steering amount in the steering control at a curve entrance. A steering assist device of the present invention is a steering assist device 10-22-2009
20100004822STEERING SUPPORT DEVICE - The present invention aims at providing a steering assistance apparatus which can accurately detect a curve exit of a running path and perform steering assistance control with an excellent running path following capability. The steering assistance apparatus of the present invention is a steering assistance apparatus 01-07-2010
