Abstract: Provided is a technique related to a thin display device having a frame structure in which accuracy is ensured. First and second restricting convex portions (84, 85) are formed on the inner parts of a bending hole portion (83). A restricting face (84a) which is an end portion of the first restricting convex portion (84) takes an angle of 45 degrees sloping from upper left to the lower right. A restricting face (85a) which is an end portion of the second restricting convex portion (85) takes an angle of 45 degrees sloping from upper right to lower left. When bending processing is performed, the restricting face (84a) of the first restricting convex portion (84) abuts against the restricting face (85a) of the second restricting projection portion (85).

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods to improve safety and efficiency in an operating room comprise providing a suture package that holds new suture needles and needle receptacles for storing used needles. The devices can be safely worn for the surgeon to self-dispense new suture needles in the near surgical field and to secure the used needles into a needle trap or a needle retainer located on his extremity, on his operative instruments or on the surgical drapes. The device may provide automated and/or simplified needle counting both during use and after removal from the surgical field. The device may be configured for ergonomic and efficient use so as to minimize the actions and motions of the surgeon to dispense and secure the needle.

Abstract: A disparity calculating device 100 obtains a base image from a first camera 1 and a reference image from a second camera 2. An image dividing unit 101 divides each of the base image and reference image into multiple regions in accordance with dividing conditions set by a condition setting unit 102. A correction amount determining 103 calculates image shift amount for each of the divided regions, and determines correction amount based on the images shift amount thereof. A disparity calculating unit 104 performs correction of the image on each region of divided base images and divided reference images obtained from the image dividing unit 101 based on correction amount determined by the correction amount determining unit 103 to obtain disparity based on the images after correction.
Abstract: A mobile station device efficiently transmits an ACK/NACK of more than 11 bits on a physical uplink channel. A mobile station device for communicating with a base station device divides a plurality of ACKs/NACKs indicating success or failure of decoding of a plurality of pieces of uplink data received from the base station device, separately encodes the divided ACKs/NACKs, and changes a method for concatenating the encoded bits of the separately encoded ACKs/NACKs in accordance with whether the ACKs/NACKs are to be transmitted on a physical uplink control channel or a physical uplink shared channel.

Abstract: Methods for preparing dried pellets of biological materials are described. The pellets can have a substantially spherical shape and are prepared by freezing droplets of a liquid composition of a desired biological material on a solid surface followed by microwave vacuum drying the frozen droplets. These methods are useful for preparing dried pellets having a high concentration of a desired biological material, in particular a therapeutic protein or vaccine, and which have a faster reconstitution time than lyophilized powder cakes prepared in vials.
