  • Publication number: 20070239416
    Abstract: There are provided a system and a method therefor for analyzing pharmacokinetics in such a manner that the influence of genetic polymorphism of an individual is taken into consideration, and a system and a method therefor for allowing implementation of high-accuracy haplotype frequency estimation and diplotype configuration estimation even in a case where the number of individuals is small from which data is obtainable when making pharmacokinetic analysis. A diplotype configuration estimation step estimates diplotype configurations of individuals. Next, a pharmacokinetic model building step expresses pharmacokinetic parameters as functions of the diplotype configurations of the individuals, thereby configuring pharmacokinetic models. Moreover, a pharmacokinetic parameter estimation step estimates the pharmacokinetic parameters.

  • Patent number: 5269289
    Abstract: A cavity insert device comprising an insert section capable of being inserted into tracts and cavities, a detection circuit for detecting conditions of components making up the device, such as an observation device formed at the distal end side of the insert section, and a fuzzy inference section for synthetically determining a plurality of information signals outputted from the detection circuit and producing control signals to control the components. The fuzzy inference section employs inference rules which are empirically considered to be desirable, and control is made by the control signals obtained with the fuzzy inference. The device is thus operated in a nearly optimum state.
