  • Publication number: 20230376031
    Abstract: A method to perform remote operation of a mobile vehicle is provided. In this method, data of two types of camera images whose imaging ranges partially overlap each other and data of operation content in the remote operation are acquired. Further, based on the data of the operation content, the position in the vertical direction at which the two types of the camera images are combined is set. Further, at least one of the two types of the camera images is moved in the vertical direction such that the two types of the camera images are combined at the set position in the vertical direction, and the two types of the camera images are combined. Then, a composite image of the two types of the camera images is output from a display of a remote operation device.

  • Publication number: 20230212679
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting the effectiveness of an angiogenesis inhibitor in a subject suffering from a tumor. Provided is a method comprising a step of testing for the presence or absence of an a mutation or loss of expression of B-Raf and PTEN in a sample of tumor tissue from the subject. By using the presence or absence of or a mutation or loss of expression of B-Raf and PTEN as an indicator, this method enables the antitumor effectiveness of the angiogenesis inhibitor to be predicted without administering the angiogenesis inhibitor to the subject.
