  • Patent number: 9765347
    Abstract: Provided is a transformant of S. pombe mutant which can produce and collect ?-glucosidase without requiring complicated separation steps, and a vector which is useful for transforming a yeast of the genus Schizosaccharomyces. The transformant of a S. pombe mutant of the present invention is a transformant of a Schizosaccharomyces pombe mutant which exhibits an increased Gsf activity and decreased or no pyruvyl transferase Pvg1 enzymatic activity, and is comprised of a structural gene sequence encoding a ?-glucosidase derived from a filamentous fungus, and a promoter sequence and a terminator sequence for expressing the structural gene in a chromosome or as an extrachromosomal gene. Further, the present invention relates to a cloning vector which is characterized by comprising a hsp9 gene promoter or an ihc1 gene promoter of a yeast of the genus Schizosaccharomyces, and is useful for transforming a yeast of the genus Schizosaccharomyces, an expression vector, a transformant, etc.

  • Patent number: 6938215
    Abstract: In order to enable a user to obtain information about a large number of recorded images, a display apparatus includes a browser window that can be switched between two modes. In the first mode, a first screen, referred to as an Icon Browser Screen, displays a list of files (that contain image data and/or additional data such as sound data and overlay image data) that are recorded in a recording apparatus such as, e.g., an electronic camera. In the second mode, a second screen, referred to as a Thumbnail Image Browser Screen, displays a series of thumbnail images of the images recorded in the recording apparatus. A thumbnail check box can be selected to switch between the two screens.

  • Publication number: 20020024603
    Abstract: An image processing control apparatus and method accepts image data and overlay (memo) data stored in memory of an electronic device, such as, for example, an electronic camera, and supplies them to a composing part. In the composing part a composite image of the image data and the overlay data is created. The transmissivity or other composition ratios of the image data and overlay data can be adjusted. The composite image is supplied to memory and is stored in a given area. The resulting composite image is supplied to VRAM, and may be displayed on a display apparatus. A recording medium can store a control program for use by the image processing apparatus to perform the method.
