  • Patent number: 10617116
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cryopreservation device that makes it possible to automatically extract an intended sample, and prevent the temperature of samples other than the intended sample from increasing. A cryopreservation device is provided, including: a cryopreservation vessel that internally accommodates a drawer configured to store vials side by side in a vertical direction in each box and has an opening communicating with a task space provided in an upper surface thereof; a drawer-raising/lowering device that raises and lowers the drawer in the vertical direction via the opening in a state where the drawer is gripped and maintains the drawer at an arbitrary height; a first stage that is provided above the cryopreservation vessel so as to be adjacent to the opening as seen in plan view and allows the box to be placed thereon; and a second pressing device that presses the box to move the box to the first stage.

  • Publication number: 20060050141
    Abstract: When communication is started using television telephones, a communication terminal apparatus performs communication with a communication partner with the privacy of a caller protected. When a call is established with the terminal apparatus of the communication partner, a captured image captured by capture device is displayed as a mirror image on a display unit, audio information received from the terminal apparatus of the communication partner is output as voice, and the image stored in the storage unit of a communication terminal apparatus is transmitted as an image for protection of the privacy of the caller to the terminal apparatus of the communication partner together with the audio information.

  • Publication number: 20050159958
    Abstract: An emotion is decided based on both image and voice data, and then a decorated image or a substitute image is outputted. Further, a segment of voice signal is precisely determined for the analysis of the signal. Emotion analysis is conducted along with operations of extracting constituent elements of an image and continuously monitoring motions of the elements. A period during which no motion of lips is observed and a period during which no voice is inputted are used as a dividing point for voice signal, and an emotion in voice is decided. Furthermore, the result from the analysis of the image data and the result from the analysis of the voice data are weighted to eventually determine the emotion, and a synthesized image or a substitute image corresponding to the emotion is outputted.
