  • Patent number: 11934881
    Abstract: Allowing an execution of an allocation processing and allocation release the processing of a device to a service program during an execution of the service program. Under control of an execution management section (1112), in case device transmission data received is device transmission data satisfying a predetermined transition condition of a state transition, a service state of the service program is updated. Then, under control of an execution management section (1112), a notification of the service state update is transmitted to a service context determination section (113). Under control of the service context determination section (113), whether there is a change in a service context to be executed on the service program based on service context information is confirmed.

  • Patent number: 9969812
    Abstract: The present invention provides an anti-human Notch4 antibody or a Notch4 binding fragment thereof that may have neutralizing activity against human Notch4, as well as a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same as the active ingredient. The present inventors obtained a mouse anti-human Notch4 antibody that has high neutralizing activity and binding affinity towards human Notch4 and determined the complementarity determining region (CDR) sequence of the mouse anti-human Notch4 antibody. This enabled the production of a humanized antibody comprising the variable region of heavy and light chains as well as the CDR sequence of the mouse anti-human Notch4 antibody.
