20110052599 | Facilitation of Oocyte, Zygote and Pre-Implantation Embryo Maturation - Compositions and methods are provided for enhancing the survival and promoting the maturation of mammalian oocytes, zygotes and preimplantation embryos. BDNF or BDNF agonists may be administered to an individual, or to cells in vitro, to enhance cellular maturation, embryo growth and fertilization. Accordingly, compositions comprising BDNF are herein presented for use in promoting in vivo oocyte maturation as well as for use as a component in culture media for promoting preimplantation maturation of zygotes and embryos, for instance, for use with in vitro fertilization procedures and for the production of stem cells. Additionally, compounds that interfere with the binding of BDNF to its receptor may be administered to an individual to prevent oocyte maturation, thereby acting as a contraceptive. The BNDF receptor, TrkB, and BDNF also find use in the screening and design of agonists and antagonists for use in the methods of the invention. | 03-03-2011 |

20100153065 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND PROGRAM - An information processing device includes a first input receiving unit, a second input receiving unit, a window function processing unit, a correlation calculating unit, and an output unit. The first input receiving unit is configured to receive first information including a first time-series data related to a semiconductor process. The second input receiving unit is configured to receive second information including a second time-series data related to the semiconductor process. The window function processing unit is configured to retrieve window acquiring information from the first information during an intended period using a window function. The correlation calculating unit is configured to calculate a cross-correlation function between the window acquiring information retrieved by the window function processing unit and the second information. The output unit is configured to output information corresponding to the cross-correlation function calculated by the correlation calculating unit. | 06-17-2010 |
20100214296 | DATA DISPLAY APPARATUS, DATA DISPLAY METHOD AND PROGRAM - A data display apparatus includes a storage, a data retrieving unit, a first display unit, a designation receiver, a display data, and a second display unit. The storage stores time-series data. The data retrieving unit retrieves at least one set of the time-series data from the storage. The first display unit displays the time-series data in a first display width. The designation receiver receives a designation of at least one display subject range. The display data retrieving unit retrieves subset data from the at least one set of the time-series data during at least one period corresponding to the at least one display subject range. The second display unit displays the subset data in a second display width. The first display unit also displays the at least one display subject range in association with the time-series data. | 08-26-2010 |

20100175220 | Assist grip - An assist grip of the present invention includes a grip body provided at both side base portions thereof with hinge recess portions and a hinge portion rotatably and pivotally supported in each of the hinge recess portions of both sides, and is fixed via the hinge portion to a to-be-fixed portion in an automobile. In a pivot support portion of the hinge portion, an outer support piece and an inner support piece are provided at a distance from each other, and between the inner support piece and the outer support piece, a torsion coil spring stored in a spring case is inserted. One end portion of the torsion coil spring is locked to an inside of the spring case, and the other end portion of the torsion coil spring projects from the spring case and is locked to a part of the grip body. | 07-15-2010 |
20110214255 | ASSIST GRIP - An assist grip includes a mounting clip formed of metal having spring resiliency and bent into a generally U shape. The mounting clip includes a pair of resilient legs. Each of the resilient legs includes a bulging portion that bulges outwardly and is provided with a retention portion to be retained by a mounting location of a vehicle body structure. Each of the resilient legs further includes at the leading end a stepped region for engagement against an inner peripheral region of a rectangular opening of a hinge body. The stepped region includes an extended region and a retaining pawl that extends outwardly relative to the extended region. | 09-08-2011 |
20130019437 | ASSIST GRIP - An assist grip includes hinges, spring cases, and coil springs. The hinges are provided with a rotary axis that a shaft-shaped protrusion and a pin make. The shaft-shaped protrusion is formed integrally with the hinges. The pin is formed independently of the hinges. The spring cases are held in a depression with which the hinges are provided, respectively. The coil springs urge the hinges by way of the spring cases in a direction for accommodating the hinges into hinge-holding depressions with which the assist grip is provided. The setup enables the resulting assist grip to offer better assemblage workability for assembly workers or robots, to show a better appearance, and to exhibit higher strength in service. | 01-24-2013 |

20120008346 | SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT AND SWITCHING POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM - A control circuit can be provided with a comparator detecting a turning-off of a semiconductor switch from a voltage generated in an auxiliary winding of a transformer and inputted to a zero current detecting terminal, a timer outputting a signal after a specified length of time from the time at which the turning-off of the semiconductor switch is detected, and a comparator detecting from voltages inputted to a current detecting terminal a second voltage signal different from an ordinary first voltage signal inputted when the semiconductor switch is made turned-on. Thus, the second voltage signal supplied from mode switching circuits as an externally inputted mode switching signal can be made also detected by the existing current detecting terminal. By detecting the second voltage signal after the specified length of time from the turning-off of the semiconductor switch, switching of an operation mode becomes possible without newly providing any specialized terminal. | 01-12-2012 |

20140179677 | THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR ECTOPIC PREGNANCY - A novel therapeutic agent for ectopic pregnancy having a therapeutic effect for ectopic pregnancy, especially unruptured ectopic pregnancy, and a novel method of screening a therapeutic agent for ectopic pregnancy are disclosed. The therapeutic agent for ectopic pregnancy contains as an effective ingredient a suppressor of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and/or of brain-derived neurotrophic factor receptor (TrkB). The method of screening a therapeutic agent for ectopic pregnancy includes measuring the kinase activity of TrkB in the presence of a test substance and the kinase activity of TrkB in the absence of the test substance; and selecting the test substance which decreases the kinase activity of TrkB. | 06-26-2014 |
