  • Patent number: 7479371
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing leukemia, pre-leukemia or aleukemic malignant blood diseases, a method of discriminating leukemia from pre-leukemia or aleukemic malignant blood diseases, a method of discriminating aplastic anemia from myelodysplastic syndrome, a method of diagnosing delayed engraftment of the hematopoietic stem cells after transplantation of the hematopoietic stem cells, and a method of diagnosing the graft versus host disease, each of said methods comprising quantifying stem cell growth factor (SCGF). The present invention also makes it possible to provide an agent for diagnosing leukemia, pre-leukemia or aleukemic malignant blood diseases and an agent for diagnosing delayed engraftment of the hematopoietic stem cells after transplantation of the hematopoietic stem cells or an agent for diagnosing graft versus host disease (GVHD), each containing as an active ingredient an antibody reacting with stem cell growth factor (SCGF).

  • Patent number: 6711130
    Abstract: An ATM data transmitting apparatus includes a data transmission scheduler and a host controller for giving instructions to the data transmission scheduler, the data transmission scheduler searches a content addressable memory for a data transmission time of a virtual channel equal to a next transmission time to be registered as a data transmission time for another virtual channel so as to schedule the data transmission at different data transmission times through the virtual channels.

  • Publication number: 20030043901
    Abstract: A tone ordering circuit (100) that may be capable of performing tone ordering with a small bit table has been disclosed. Tone ordering circuit (100) may include a parallel-serial conversion circuit (10), a bit table (11), a pointer circuit (12), a carrier counter circuit (13), a comparator (14), and a serial-parallel conversion circuit (15). Tone ordering circuit (100) may receive baseband data and may provide tone ordering data having a bit width in accordance with a corresponding one of a plurality of carriers. Bit widths and carriers may be arranged in ascending order. Bit table (11) may store a point at which a bit width of tone ordering data may be changed. In this way, bit widths corresponding to all tone ordering numbers may not be stored in a bit table (11) and the density of a bit table (11) may be reduced.
