Abstract: Provided are an optical terminal device and a scan program having a high operability not needing an excessive consciousness. An optical terminal device obtains the entire image of a scan object range, and includes an image capture unit including an imaging element, taking an image of each region within the scan object range, and obtaining unit image data of each region, a positional information obtaining unit obtaining image positional information corresponding to the unit image data, and an image synthesis unit synthesizing a plurality of the unit image data, and creating the entire image of the scan object range. The positional information obtaining unit includes a six-dimensional sensor provided at a device main body, and detecting an acceleration and angular speed, and an arithmetic processing unit calculating the image positional information of the unit image data based on the acceleration and angular speed.

Abstract: An inhibitor for perioperative blood sugar elevation characterized by containing a branched amino acid, a compound which can be converted into a branched amino acid in vivo or a compound to which an amino group has been transferred from a branched amino acid. This inhibitor for perioperative blood sugar elevation is useful as a drug which is safe to the living body including human, inhibits abnormal elevation in the blood glucose level caused by anesthesia, surgery, etc., and enables proper blood sugar control, when administered to a perioperative patient.

Abstract: An image processing terminal apparatus includes an image capture device configured to optically scan an intended area on a document by moving the terminal apparatus over the document and to capture image data of each of serial static images of the intended area for position calculation and image data of each of serial static images of the intended area for character recognition, alternately, and an image process device configured to calculate position information of the each of serial static images of the intended area for character recognition based on image data of predetermined areas in the each of serial static images of the intended area for position calculation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to providing an image scanner and an optical recognition system using said image scanner which can scan only the “intended region” to carry out character recognition and can carry out character recognition in the background of an application software and can input the recognition result directly to said application software. Image picture data which are captured by scanning the “intended region” of a document with the image scanner mouse 20 are converted to text data by a character recognition software in the personal computer 10 and are inputted directly to an application software. Designation and confirmation of input starting position for the “intended region” on a document are made easily and surely with the LCD26 at hand on the image scanner 20.
