  • Patent number: 11968478
    Abstract: To reduce complication of a configuration of a vehicle while suppressing an increase in weight of the vehicle, a camera system mounted on a vehicle includes an imaging unit to capture multiple frame images of an outside of the vehicle per cycle and an image processor to obtain the multiple frame images from the imaging unit and separate the multiple frame images into a first given number of frame images as a recognition target and a second given number of frame images as a storage target to be stored in an image recorder. The image processor separately outputs the first and second given numbers of frame images to be recognized and stored, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20200147120
    Abstract: The present invention provides an anticancer agent based on a novel mechanism. Specifically, the present invention relates to an inhibitor that inhibits gene expression regulation by SWI/SNF complex-dependent NF-?B or a corepressor complex that participate in chromatin remodeling. More specifically, the present invention provides an inhibitor that reduces the interaction (such as binding and transcription regulation) of endogenous SWI/SNF complexes with NF-?B or a corepressor complex, or an inhibitor that inhibits the adapter function of d4 family proteins. The inhibitor of the present invention can be utilized in the treatment of cancers involving SWI/SNF complexes (such as SWI/SNF-mediated cancers).

  • Patent number: 10252187
    Abstract: The ventilation pipe 60 having the openings at both the ceiling side and the bottom side is provided in the area where the rectification boards 50a to 50f are arranged, thereby nitrogen released from water (nitrogen released from water based on that gas dissolved in water is substituted by oxygen) can be moved to the ceiling side of the retainer body through the ventilation pipe 60. Thereby, nitrogen can be effectively exhausted from the exhaust opening 30a, thus it can be restrained that nitrogen is accumulated in the retainer body 10. Accordingly, it can be restrained that oxygen concentration (partial pressure) in the retainer body 10 decreases. Since oxygen quantity dissolved in water is increased, gas dissolved in water can be effectively substituted.

  • Patent number: 7842886
    Abstract: A transmission cable includes multiple signal lines formed on one side of an insulation layer and a ground line between the signal lines. The ground line is electrically connected to a shield layer formed on a back surface side of the insulation layer and to a noise suppressing layer having a high electric resistance value than the shield layer via a metal bump embedded and formed in the insulation layer. The noise suppressing layer has a function to suppress an unwanted emission and/or a noise and has a function as an etching barrier layer serving as an etching stopper in a step for forming the metal bump. Thus, the transmission cable can suppress an increase of an electric resistance and a connection resistance between the ground line and the shield layer.

  • Patent number: 7498088
    Abstract: There are provided a magnetic thin film utilizing a granular film and having excellent high frequency characteristics and a method of manufacturing the same, and a multilayered magnetic film and magnetic components and electronic equipment utilizing the same. A nonreactive sputtering is performed so that there is no oxidation of a magnetic metal, and a saturation magnetization is increased to increase a resonant frequency of permeability. Also, a multi-target simultaneous sputtering is combined with the nonreactive sputtering so that in a granular structure including magnetic grains and an insulating layer a size of the magnetic grains and a thickness of the insulating layer are optimized thereby ensuring a proper magnitude for a crystalline magnetic anisotropy within the grains and excellent soft magnetic properties.

  • Publication number: 20090000804
    Abstract: A transmission cable is provided and includes multiple signal lines formed on one side of an insulation layer 1 and a ground line between the signal lines. The ground line is electrically connected to a shield layer formed on a back surface side of the insulation layer and to a noise suppressing layer having a high electric resistance value than the shield layer via a metal bump embedded and formed in the insulation layer. The noise suppressing layer has a function to suppress an unwanted emission and/or a noise and has a function as an etching barrier layer serving as an etching stopper in a step for forming the metal bump. Thus, the transmission cable can simplify a manufacturing process and reduce a manufacturing cost, and can suppress an increase of an electric resistance and a connection resistance between the ground line and the shield layer, thus capable of providing the transmission cable capable of fast transfer and large-capacity transfer with high reliability.

  • Patent number: 7325492
    Abstract: A stencil printer of the present invention includes a print drum and a pressing member selectively movable into or out of contact with the print drum. A duplex master, formed with a first and a second image in the lengthwise direction thereof, or a simplex master formed with a third image is wrapped around the print drum in a duplex mode or a simplex mode, respectively. The stencil printer is capable of selectively performing a duplex print mode operation, which consists of a front printing step and a rear pining step following the front printing step, or a simplex print mode operation. When the operator of the printer selects the duplex print mode to cause the duplex master to be wrapped around the print drum and then replaces the duplex print mode with the simplex print mode, the stencil printer produces an alarm and inhibits the simplex pint mode operation from being started.
