  • Publication number: 20240071478
    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device comprises a first memory cell and a second memory cell. The semiconductor memory device is configured to be able to perform: a first operation which is a read operation or the like to the first memory cell; and a second operation which is a read operation or the like to the second memory cell. The semiconductor memory device transitions to a standby mode after performing the first operation in response to an input of a first command set and a second command set. The semiconductor memory device performs a charge share operation after the standby mode is released in response to an input of a third command set and a fourth command set during the standby mode. The semiconductor memory device performs the second operation using at least a part of an electric charge generated when the first operation is performed.

  • Patent number: 11858987
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to obtain two types of substantively homogeneous cancer stem cell populations which can be characterized using the cell surface marker Lgr5, and to provide cancer therapeutics using an antibody against a cell membrane molecule specifically expressed in these cancer stem cells by identifying said cell membrane molecule. A further objective is to provide, using an antibody against a cell membrane molecule specifically expressed in cancer stem cells, a reagent for detecting cancer stem cells, and a method for diagnosing and sorting cancer patients. The present inventors discovered that highly pure large intestine cancer stem cells (CSC) can be obtained in a large quantity, and identified the two types of conditions of large intestine CSCs distinguishable through Lgr5 expression. Moreover, the present inventors discovered that an antibody against a cell membrane molecule specifically expressed in said cancer stem cells can damage said cells.

  • Publication number: 20230401671
    Abstract: The controller 13 of the in-vehicle device 1 acquires point cloud data outputted by a lidar 2. Then, the controller 13 generates processed point cloud data obtained by down-sampling the point cloud data. The controller 13 matches the processed point cloud data with voxel data VD which represents a position of an object with respect to each voxel that is a unit area and thereby associates a measurement point of the processed point cloud data with the each voxel. Then, the controller 13 changes the size of the subsequent down-sampling based on the associated measurement points number Nc which is the number of measurement points associated with the each voxel among the measurement points of the processed point cloud data.

  • Publication number: 20230085803
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide non-human animal models of cancer pathology, which mimic the hierarchical organization, cancer progression process, or biological property of human cancer tissues, and uses thereof. To achieve the objective described above, first, the present inventors transplanted cells of NOG-established cancer lines into NOG mice and morphologically observed the resulting tissue organization. As a result, the non-human animal models were demonstrated to exhibit pathologies (the hierarchical organization, cancer progression process, or biological properties of the cancer cells) similar to that of human cancer. Specifically, the present inventors succeeded in preparing non-human animal models exhibiting pathologies more similar to a human cancer, and cell culture systems using NOG-established cancer cell lines where the in vitro cell morphology is more similar to that of human cancer.
