  • Publication number: 20240020470
    Abstract: The character input device includes a character input section, a candidate obtainment unit, a finalization unit, and a registration unit. A character string is input to the character input section. The candidate obtainment unit obtains a candidate character string registered in the dictionary and corresponding to the character string that has been received by the character input section. The finalization unit finalizes the candidate character string obtained by the candidate obtainment unit and selected, as a finalized character string for the character string that has been received by the character input section. If a part of the finalized character string finalized by the finalization unit is deleted, the registration unit registers, in the dictionary, the remaining character string that remains without being deleted, in association with the character string that has been received by the character input section.

  • Patent number: 9662136
    Abstract: An incision is formed at a site where a cellular tissue is to be dissected. A liquid is ejected to the incision. The incision is expanded. The cellular tissue is dissected. The liquid is ejected in the form of a pulse flow. The liquid is ejected in such a way as to advance obliquely to a tangential direction to a surface of the cellular tissue. A site where the liquid is applied to the surface is moved in a direction in which an angle formed by the surface and the direction of advancement of the liquid is greater.
