  • Patent number: 11959775
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing device and an information processing method that enable simple and appropriate calibration. When a pen-type device incorporating an inertial measurement unit such as an IMU is moved and a drawn image corresponding to a track is displayed, calibration is implemented on the basis of a measurement value of the inertial measurement device in one stationary attitude and a latitude and an absolute azimuth of the inertial measurement device at that time when the pen-type device is inserted into a pen stand to be fixed in a predetermined direction.

  • Publication number: 20230270790
    Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a life-threatening neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons. Muse cells are endogenous reparative pluripotent-like stem cells distributed to various tissues. Once intravenously injected, such cells, upon sensing sphingosine-1-phosphate produced by damaged cells, settle selectively on damaged sites, and after homing, can exhibit multiphase effects including natural differentiation into tissue-protecting and tissue-reconstructing cells. In the present invention, with G93A-Tg mice serving as an ALS model, human Muse cells injected intravenously successfully homed into the lumbar cord, mainly at the pia mater and the lower white matter, and expressed glial-like forms and GFAP. Meanwhile, no such homing or differentiation was observed in the case of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and, rather, MSCs were found distributed to the lungs.

  • Patent number: 11524654
    Abstract: An occupant protection device for a vehicle includes a collision detector, a main airbag, a belt airbag, a belt controller, a distance detector, and an airbag controller. The collision detector detects a collision of the vehicle. In response to the collision detector detecting the collision, the main airbag deploys from a storage position toward an occupant seated on a seat of the vehicle. The belt airbag is stored in a seatbelt. The belt controller controls winding of the seatbelt, extraction of the seatbelt, and prohibition of the extraction of the seatbelt. The distance detector detects a distance from the storage position to the occupant. When the collision detector detects the collision of the vehicle and the detected distance is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance, the airbag controller deploys the belt airbag from within the seatbelt without causing the belt controller to prohibit the extraction of the seatbelt.
