Patent number: 9701637Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a probe for imaging a ?-sheet structure protein which can be used for the diagnosis of conformational diseases, particularly disease (tauopathy) having a cardinal symptom such as intracerebral accumulation of tau protein, for example, Alzheimer's disease. Another object of the present invention is to provide a compound which is highly specific to tau and can image tau with satisfactory sensitivity, and also has high brain transition, low or non-recognized bone-seeking properties and low or non-recognized toxicity. According to the present invention, the above problems are solved by providing a compound of a formula I (wherein A, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, Ra and Rb are as defined in the present description) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: GE Healthcare LimitedInventors: Yukitsuka Kudo, Shozo Furumoto, Nobuyuki Okamura

Patent number: 9121929Abstract: A position output device for outputting position data indicating a current position of an object, is based on position data of a determined current position of the object as determined by a satellite navigation system. When a position jump has occurred in the position data from the satellite navigation system, an appropriate current position is outputted. An estimated current position is generated based on the output position outputted at the latest update time. It is determined whether or not a position jump has occurred, based on the distance between the estimated position and the satellite navigation system-based determined position, which is being updated by the satellite navigation system. When it is determined that a position jump has occurred, a position adjustment vector is generated by calculation, which is then used to generate an adjusted position.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2012Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: TOKYO KEIKI INC.Inventors: Nobuyuki Okamura, Hiroomi Arakane, Takao Sagawa

Patent number: 8628949Abstract: An apparatus for producing a probe carrier in which ambient humidity for a plurality of nozzles of a liquid ejection device for ejecting droplets of solutions containing probes to the surface of a carrier is controlled to 50% or more, preferably 60% or more. A part of solution supply passages to the plurality of nozzles is constructed from gas permeable membranes permitting gas-liquid separation under reduced pressure. These gas permeable membrane portions are gathered and altogether placed under reduced pressure to remove air bubbles from the respective solutions supplied to the plural nozzles and decrease the amount of a dissolved gas, which causes air bubbles to be generated.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2009Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Makoto Kameyama, Nobuyuki Okamura, Tadashi Okamoto
