  • Patent number: 11924589
    Abstract: Color filters are used for color images obtained using imaging devices such as conventional image sensors. Imaging elements with color filters are sold, and an appropriate combination of the imaging element and a lens or the like is incorporated in an electronic device. Only providing a color filter to overlap a light-receiving region of an image sensor reduces the amount of light reaching the light-receiving region. An imaging system of the present invention includes a solid-state imaging element without a color filter, a storage device, and a learning device. As a selection standard for reducing the amount of learning data, in an HSV color space, saturation is used, and selection is performed so that the saturation has optimal distribution. When colorization disclosed in this specification is performed, the colorization and object highlight processing can be performed at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20160060235
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a novel therapeutic agent for a patient with type 2 diabetes, a cause of which is the abnormal synthesis of insulin attributed to the abnormal modification of tRNALys (UUU) in pancreatic ? cells having Cdkal1 gene mutation. The present inventors have used (1) a screening system using E. coli in which correct translation into luciferase requires frameshift resulting from mistranslation during protein translation, (2) a screening system using the pancreatic islet of Langerhans isolated from a pancreatic ? cell-specific Cdkal1-deficient mouse, and (3) a screening system using a pancreatic ? cell-specific Cdkal1-deficient mouse, and found that a compound represented by any of the following formulas (I) to (III) can serve as a therapeutic agent for a patient with type 2 diabetes with Cdkal1 gene mutation resulting in the reduced ability to secrete insulin.

  • Patent number: 8778814
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the steps of: preparing an underlying structure having a silicon carbide layer covering a copper wiring, and growing silicon oxycarbide on the underlying structure by vapor deposition using, as source gas, tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane, carbon dioxide gas and oxygen gas, a flow rate of said oxygen gas being at most 3% of a flow rate of the carbon dioxide gas. The surface of the silicon carbide layer of the underlying structure may be treated with a plasma of weak oxidizing gas which contains oxygen and has a molecular weight larger than that of O2 to bring the surface more hydrophilic. Film peel-off and cracks in the interlayer insulating layer decrease.
