Abstract: The present invention provides methods of treating baldness in a subject and generating new hair follicles, comprising epidermal disruption and administration of a compound that promotes a differentiation of an uncommitted epidermal cell into a hair follicle cell. The present invention also provides methods for hair removal and inducing hair pigmentation.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus and a method for performing speech training in speech rehabilitation are disclosed. A report about content to be uttered in an utterance training is made to a trainee of the utterance training and the volume of a voice uttered by the trainee in response to the report is obtained. Then, the result of comparison between the obtained volume and a volume predetermined as a target volume is reported.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an in vitro method for promoting proliferation, survival, and/or differentiation of K14+, K17+ nail stem cells (NSCs). The instant methods may be used to generate an expanded population of K14+, K17+ NSCs in vitro and expanded NSC populations in which a Wnt pathway is activated are envisioned as therapeutic agents. Methods for screening to identify agents capable of modulating K14+, K17+ NSC proliferation, survival, and/or differentiation are also encompassed herein, as are isolated, pure populations of homogeneous K14+, K17+ NSCs.

Abstract: A diagnostic imaging apparatus includes an image generation device for generating a plurality of images of a subject for display in a display device, the plurality of images including a first image generated for display at a first display magnification and other images generated for display at other display magnification different from the first display magnification, and a marking setting device which sets a first marking to indicate a region of interest on the first image and other markings on the other images, the other markings being displayed, based on the other display magnification, in a position corresponding to the position of the first marking set on the first image.

Abstract: An ultrasonic imaging apparatus which displays ultrasonic image of a subject, and displays a measurement pattern in the displayed ultrasonic image based on measurement pattern information with respect to a location and a form of the measurement pattern to be input, to perform the image measurement of the ultrasonic image. The ultrasonic imaging apparatus includes a selector device for specifying a location in the ultrasonic image, a measurement pattern storage device for storing morphological information of the measurement pattern when a measurement pattern is present at the specified location, and a measurement pattern reproduction device for reproducing thus stored measurement pattern of the morphological information at a location in the ultrasonic image newly specified using the selector device or an ultrasonic image different from the ultrasonic image.

Abstract: A wireless IC tag attached to the object in the tangential direction to open up a space between the two, the structure of the tag 41 is such that wireless IC tag 1 is sandwiched between thin rectangular strips of plastic etc., which even when bent in the lengthwise direction, will return to their original shape. Tag area 42, where wireless IC tag 1 is sandwiched, is of a different color than support area 43 to allow for clear visual discrimination of its position. Support area 43 is designed to secure distance between object 2 and wireless IC tag 1. The end opposite the foregoing thin slip tag area 42 is attachment area 45 which is supported in a manner that allows it to freely rotate around pin 44. Attachment area 45 can retain the tag area 42 and support area 43 at any desired angle. Attachment area 45 is attached to object 2 by paste, glue, clips, pins, etc., or, it may be inserted into the object. The present invention relates to non-contact communication system.
