  • Patent number: 11055839
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for fast judging and optimizing light emitting quality of a light guide plate based on an image processing technology. According to the method, an illuminance diagram of the light guide plate is regarded as a single-color image, illuminance information is converted into a gray level, gray levels of all pixel points are calculated through a gray level histogram, the light outgoing quality of the light guide plate is analyzed according to a discrete degree of the gray levels, positions of the gray levels discrete in distribution in the gray level histogram on the illuminance diagram are found out through programming, a net point filling rate in a corresponding area is directly optimized and is eliminated, and a uniformity degree evaluation formula with a precision P judgment criterion is given. The present invention effectively improves the optimizing efficiency of the light guide plate, and an optimized result is closer to an actual visual effect.

  • Patent number: 8133726
    Abstract: Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for antigenic peptides derived from IgE molecule can be generated in vitro by stimulating resting naive CD8 T cells with IgE peptides presented by artificial antigen presenting cells. The IgE specific CTLs lyse the target cells loaded with IgE peptides in vitro and inhibit antigen specific IgE response in vivo. In addition, adoptive transfer of the IgE specific CTL to an asthmatic mouse model can inhibit the development of lung inflammation and airway hypersensitivity. IgE specific CTL provides a treatment for allergic asthma and other IgE-mediated allergic diseases. Antigenic peptides identified from non-tumor self-antigens induce specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) in vitro. The CTL induced by peptides identified from CD40L can kill activated CD4 T cells. In vitro generated CTL specific for CD40L inhibit CD4-dependent antibody responses of all isotypes in vivo.
