20080307483 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, VIDEO PLAYBACK METHOD, PROGRAM, AND VIDEO PLAYBACK SYSTEM - A video playback system includes a video distribution server and at least one information processing device. The video distribution server includes a video distribution portion that performs streaming distribution of a video stream, an alternative video distribution portion that distributes an alternative video, and a control information distribution portion that distributes control information. The information processing device includes a receiving portion that receives the video stream, the alternative video, and the control information, a storage portion that stores the alternative video and the control information, a video stream playback portion that performs streaming playback of the video stream, an alternative video playback portion that plays back the stored alternative video, and a playback switching control portion that, based on the stored control information, controls switching between the streaming playback and the playback of the alternative video. | 12-11-2008 |
20120103813 | CELL SORTER AND CELL SORTING METHOD - Disclosed herein is a cell sorter including a measuring electrode, working electrode, detection electrode, and output section. The measuring electrode forms a measuring electric field in a flow path to measure a complex dielectric constant of each cells flowing through the flow path. The working electrode forms, in the flow path, a working electric field to sort the cells by imparting a dielectrophoretic force to the cells and using the flow path. The detection electrode detects the presence of the cell in the fluid flowing through the flow path. The output section acquires a sorting signal based on information about the measured complex dielectric constant and a detection signal indicating the detection of the cell by the detection electrode. The output section outputs a working signal adapted to form the working electric field to the working electrode when the detection signal is acquired if the sorting signal is acquired. | 05-03-2012 |
20120103817 | DIELECTRIC CYTOMETRIC APPARATUS AND DIELECTRIC-CYTOMETRIC CELL SORTING METHOD - Disclosed herein is a dielectric cytometric apparatus capable of analyzing cells and sorting the cells without adopting an optical analysis method and provides a dielectric cytometric cell sorting method for the apparatus. A stenosis channel allowing a single cell to flow is created on a cell injection section of a micro flow channel device used as a portion of the dielectric cytometric apparatus. A pair of measurement electrodes is created on the stenosis channel and an analyzer connected to the measurement electrodes measures the complex dielectric constant of for every cell passing through the stenosis channel. A electric-field application section provided on the downstream side of the stenosis channel applies an electric field for changing the flow of the cells inside a flow channel on the basis of information on the measured complex dielectric constants so that the cells can be sorted by making use of branch channels. | 05-03-2012 |
20120238026 | BLOOD COAGULATION SYSTEM ANALYZING METHOD AND BLOOD COAGULATION SYSTEM ANALYZING DEVICE - A blood coagulation system analyzing method includes acquiring information relating to the coagulability of blood based on a change generated in a complex permittivity spectrum measured in a coagulation process of the blood due to addition of a substance that activates or inactivates platelets to the blood. | 09-20-2012 |
20120273357 | CELL SORTING APPARATUS, CELL SORTING CHIP AND CELL SORTING METHOD - A cell sorting apparatus includes a flow channel through which fluid including cells flows, an electric-field application section capable of applying an electric field having a gradient in a direction different from the flowing direction of the fluid at a first position on the flow channel in accordance with a cell sorting signal requesting an operation to sort the cells, and a flow splitting section configured to split the cells changing their flowing directions due to a dielectrophoretic force caused by application of the electric field at a second position on the downstream side of the first position on the flow channel. | 11-01-2012 |
