Patent number: 10835169Abstract: Provided is a technique for computing a brain function index for diagnosing a mental disorder at the individual level, which can be applied to even a child around school age. A brain function index computing device includes a brain activity value calculation processing unit configured to calculate from brain activity signals of a subject a first brain activity value of a region including the meddle frontal gyrus (MFG) and a second brain activity value of a region including the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG); and a brain function index calculation processing unit configured to calculate a brain function index associated with a mental disorder using the first brain activity value and the second brain activity value.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2016Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Jichi Medical UniversityInventors: Hiroki Sato, Atsushi Maki, Yukifumi Monden, Ippeita Dan, Masako Nagashima, Eiju Watanabe, Takanori Yamagata

Publication number: 20170231561Abstract: Provided herein is a technique for effectively and quantitatively evaluating the symptom improving effect of a treatment given to a subject (patient). The invention provides a technique for diagnosing, evaluating, monitoring, and predicting drug efficacy in individuals (patients) with possible mental disorders such as ADHD, autism, and depression. Specifically, patient's data are simultaneously analyzed using several variables, such as biological measurements (e.g., brain activity measurements) and cognitive performance assessments, involving, for example, a patient (dependent variable), a medication type and dose (independent variables), a diagnosis profile score (DSM) and a rating scale (manifest variables), and an efficacy index (a predictor variable of a future treatment).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2017Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Stephanie SUTOKO, Tsukasa FUNANE, Hiroki SATO, Atsushi MAKI, Yukifumi MONDEN, Masako NAGASHIMA, Ippeita DAN, Takanori YAMAGATA

Patent number: 6656553Abstract: A hose for fuel having a laminated structure comprising an inner layer (A) made of a ethylene/tetrafluoroethylene copolymer adhesive to a polyamide resin and an outer layer (B) made of a polyamide resin, is formed. Such a hose for fuel is excellent in interlaminar adhesive strength and also excellent in antistatic properties and fuel permeation-preventing properties, and particularly, the dependency of the interlaminar adhesive strength on the take-up speed during the co-extrusion molding, is small.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2002Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignees: Asahi Glass Company, Limited, Ube Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Eiichi Nishi, Masako Nagashima, Noriyuki Isobe, Tomoharu Nishioka, Yoshiro Iwata
