Publication number: 20170020939Abstract: The present invention provides a novel immune balance regulator that regulates an immune balance in a living body. The immune balance regulator contains a Euglena-derived material and regulates an immune balance between Th1, Th2, and Th17, which is a balance between immune responses individually induced by Th1, Th2, and Th17 in a living body. The immune balance regulator regulates the immune balance between Th1, Th2, and Th17 so that immune responses induced by Th1 become relatively dominant over immune responses induced by Th2 or Th17 to improve a physical constitution that has an immune imbalance of Th1, Th2, and Th17 shifted towards Th2 and to prevent or treat a disease associated with the immune imbalance of Th1, Th2, and Th17 shifted towards a Th2 dominance. The immune balance regulator is administered prior to expected onset of a disease associated with the immune imbalance of Th1, Th2, and Th17 shifted towards the Th2 dominance.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2015Publication date: January 26, 2017Applicant: EUGLENA CO., LTD.Inventors: Ayaka NAKASHIMA, Yuta ASAYAMA, Eriko YOSHIDA, Osamu IWATA, Kengo SUZUKI

Patent number: 7231346Abstract: A speech section detection apparatus capable of reliably detecting a speech section even for a word containing a glottal stop sound or for a word containing a succession of “s” column sounds or “h” column sounds (sounds in the third column or the sixth column in the Japanese Goju-on Zu syllabary table). A speech signal detected by a microphone is amplified by a line amplifier, and converted by an analog/digital converter into a digital signal which is then stored in a memory. The stored speech signal is fetched into a pitch detector where a speech pitch is extracted by processing the speech signal in time domain. A gate signal generator controls the gate signal based on the speech pitch, and a speech section signal generator controls a speech section signal based on the gate signal. A word can be extracted by segmenting the speech signal stored in the memory in accordance with the speech section signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2003Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Toshitaka Yamato, Hideki Kitao, Shinichi Iwamoto, Osamu Iwata, Masataka Nakamura, Yoshinao Oomoto
