Patent number: 10866240Abstract: A method for distinguishing prostate cancer from prostatic hypertrophy using the method for analyzing PSA and an analysis kit of PSA are provided. An object of the present invention can be solved by being brought into contact a lectin having an affinity for p-N-acetylgalactosamine residues and/or a lectin having an affinity for fucose a(I, 2) galactose residues with a sample possibly containing PSA, to determine an amount of PSA having an affinity for the lectin. A method for distinguishing prostate cancer from prostatic hypertrophy can be provided by this method.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2010Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: KONICA MINOLTA, INC.Inventors: Katsuko Yamashita, Keiko Fukushima, Shiro Baba, Takefumi Satoh

Publication number: 20110294141Abstract: A method for distinguishing prostate cancer from prostatic hypertrophy using the method for analyzing PSA and an analysis kit of PSA are provided. An object of the present invention can be solved by being brought into contact a lectin having an affinity for ?-N-acetylgalactosamine residues and/or a lectin having an affinity for fucose ?(1, 2) galactose residues with a sample possibly containing PSA, to determine an amount of PSA having an affinity for the lectin. A method for distinguishing prostate cancer from prostatic hypertrophy can be provided by this method.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2010Publication date: December 1, 2011Inventors: Katsuko Yamashita, Keiko Fukushima, Shiro Baba, Takefumi Satoh

Patent number: 7965563Abstract: A semiconductor device having an electrically erasable and programmable nonvolatile memory, for example, a rewritable nonvolatile memory including memory cells arranged in rows and columns and disposed to facilitate both flash erasure as well as selective erasure of individual units of plural memory cells. The semiconductor device which functions as a microcomputer chip also has a processing unit and includes an input terminal for receiving an operation mode signal for switching the microcomputer between a first operation mode in which the flash memory is rewritten under control of a processing unit and a second operation mode in which the flash memory is rewritten under control of separate writing circuit externally connectable to the microcomputer.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2009Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignees: Renesas Technology Corp., Hitachi ULSI Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyoshi Matsubara, Naoki Yashiki, Shiro Baba, Takashi Ito, Hirofumi Mukai, Masanao Sato, Masaaki Terasawa, Kenichi Kuroda, Kazuyoshi Shiba

Publication number: 20100191934Abstract: Herein disclosed is a microcomputer MCU adopting the general purpose register method. The microcomputer is enabled to have a small program capacity or a high program memory using efficiency and a low system cost, while enjoying the advantage of simplification of the instruction decoding as in the RISC machine having a fixed length instruction format of the prior art, by adopting a fixed length instruction format having a power of 2 but a smaller bit number than that of the maximum data word length fed to instruction execution means. And, the control of the coded division is executed by noting the code bits.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2010Publication date: July 29, 2010Applicant: RENESAS TECHNOLOGY CORP.Inventors: Shumpei Kawasaki, Eiji Sakakibara, Kaoru Fukada, Takanaga Yamazaki, Yasushi Akao, Shiro Baba, Toshimasa Kihara, Keiichi Kurakazu, Takashi Tsukamoto, Shigeki Masumura, Yasuhiro Tawara, Yugo Kashiwagi, Shuya Fujita, Katsuhiko Ishida, Noriko Sawa, Yoichi Asano, Hideaki Chaki, Tadahiko Sugawara, Masahiro Kainaga, Kouki Noguchi, Mitsuru Watabe

Patent number: 7558944Abstract: A built-in memory is divided into the following two types: first memories 5 and 7 and second memories 4 and 6, and made accessible in parallel by third buses XAB and XDB and second buses YAB and YDB respectively. Thereby, a CPU core 2 can simultaneously transfer two data values from the built-in memory to a DSP engine 3. Moreover, the third buses XAB and XDB and the second buses YAB and YDB are also separate from first buses IAB and IDB to be externally interfaced and the CPU core 2 can access an external memory in parallel with the access to the second memories 4 and 6 and the first memories 5 and 7.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2008Date of Patent: July 7, 2009Assignee: Renesas Technology Corp.Inventors: Hiroshi Ohsuga, Atsushi Kiuchi, Hironobu Hasegawa, Toru Baji, Koki Noguchi, Yasushi Akao, Shiro Baba
