  • Patent number: 10669767
    Abstract: Provided are a motion determination device and a method capable of correctly determining a kicking motion by a user about to open or close a gate of a vehicle. The motion determination device includes sensors respectively mounted on positions spaced apart from each other and detecting approach of an object, and a determination device which determines that the predetermined kicking motion has been performed, when each detection value shows a predetermined pattern, a time until each of the detection values becomes less than a first threshold value after it becomes the first threshold value or more is within a predetermined time, and a ratio of a maximum value among detection values by a first sensor and a maximum value among the detection values by a second sensor different from the first sensor is within a predetermined range.

  • Publication number: 20190242176
    Abstract: Provided are a motion determination device and a motion determination method capable of correctly determining a kicking motion performed by a user about to open or close a rear gate or the like of a vehicle. The motion determination device includes two or more sensors respectively mounted on positions which are spaced apart from each other and have a relative vertical relationship in a vehicle, and detecting approach of an object, and a determination device.

  • Publication number: 20060148741
    Abstract: The invention provides an isolated or purified ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence encoded by a human (Tey1) metastasis suppressor gene located at p21-p12 on chromosome 8 or a fragment thereof, wherein the isolated or purified RNA molecule comprises from about 10 to about 100 nucleotides. The invention also provides methods of diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancer, such as prostate cancer, using the isolated or purified RNA molecule.
