  • Patent number: 12145530
    Abstract: A vehicle theft deterrent apparatus includes a driver verifier, a steering torque detector, an actuator, and a steering controller. The steering torque detector is configured to detect steering torque input by a driver to a steering system. The actuator is configured to generate drive torque to be given to the steering system. The driver verifier is configured to verify whether driver information obtained from the driver matches registered information registered in advance. The steering controller is configured to control the drive torque generated by the actuator based on the steering torque. In a case where the driver verifier determines that the driver information does not match the registered information, the steering controller is configured to permit the driver to steer until a vehicle drives a set distance, and then to cause the actuator to generate the drive torque prohibiting the driver from steering.

  • Publication number: 20240316228
    Abstract: Provided is a conjugate of a chelating agent chelated with a radionuclide and a deglycosylated antibody, where the chelating agent site-specifically modifies the Fc region of the aforementioned antibody via a linker. The conjugate shows increased accumulation in a tumor and decreased accumulation in normal tissues. These differences in accumulation are associated with a decrease in a risk of side effects.

  • Publication number: 20120299981
    Abstract: The present invention allows a plasma display panel to have gradation levels being sufficient in number and to have stable address discharge. In the plasma display apparatus having a panel and a driver circuit, the driver circuit drives the panel on the subfield structure that satisfies the following. One field has a first subfield group and a second subfield group temporally successive to the first subfield group. Each of the subfield groups is formed of a plurality of temporally successive subfields. The luminance weight increases in the order of occurrence of the subfields within each subfield group. The first subfield of the second subfield group has a luminance weight smaller than that of the last subfield of the first subfield group. When a gradation having a level greater than a gradation threshold is displayed, the first subfield of the second subfield group has no light emission.
