  • Publication number: 20240274272
    Abstract: An information processing system includes a processor that performs an object detection to detect an object from a detection target image. The processor divides the detection target image into a group of first grid cells. The object is positioned to overlap a group of second grid cells included in the group of the first grid cells. At this time, the processor generates a bounding box in a respective second grid cell included in the group of the second grid cells. The processor surrounds a portion of the object positioned in the respective second grid cell with the bounding box generated in the respective second grid cell and displays, on a display, a position and shape of the object by a collection of a plurality of bounding boxes superimposedly on the detection target image.

  • Publication number: 20240180476
    Abstract: A muscle relaxation monitoring device monitors the state of muscle relaxation without placing an excessive burden on the patient. The muscle relaxation monitoring device has a current stimulator to supply a stimulating current to muscles of a patient, a reaction detector to detect a stimulus response of the muscle stimulated by the current stimulator. The stimulating current supplied to the muscles of the patient before the application of the muscle relaxant and the stimulating response corresponding to the stimulating current value are recorded in a memory, and when the stimulating response is saturated, the stimulating current value immediately before saturation is used as the optimum current value to be supplied to the patient after administration of the muscle relaxant.

  • Patent number: 11390865
    Abstract: A method for inducing a site-directed RNA mutation is provided. The method includes repairing an RNA mutation by converting target adenosine, which is located at a target editing site of a target RNA, into inosine. The method for inducing a site-directed RNA mutation involves reacting the target RNA having a target adenosine with a target editing guide, which has been constructed so as to form a complementary strand with target RNA, to form a double-stranded complex, and converting the target adenosine to inosine by causing ADAR to act on the double-stranded complex, inducing A-to-I editing capability. The converted inosine is further translated into guanosine.
