Patent number: 11965180Abstract: Provided is a cancer stem cell mass from which cells incapable of forming cancer are substantially removed and which has a characteristic property of reproducing a layered structure of a cancer tissue; a process for producing the cancer stem cell mass; and use of the cancer stem cell mass. A human cancer tissue was repeatedly grown in a NOG mouse, separated cancer cells from the grown cancer tissue, and tested and compared various cancer cell culture processes. As a result, a cancer stem cell composition which is homogeneous and is substantially free of the coexistence of cells capable of forming cancer and cells incapable of forming cancer in a mixed state can be produced successively by employing an attached culture process using a serum-free stem cell culture medium rather than a generally employed floating culture process.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2020Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Chugai Seiyaku Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tatsumi Yamazaki, Hisafumi Okabe, Shinta Kobayashi, Yu Jau Chen, Atsuhiko Kato, Masami Suzuki, Koichi Matsubara

Publication number: 20240116178Abstract: A method and system for robot motion control using a model predictive control (MPC) technique including torque rate control and suppression of end tooling oscillation. An MPC module includes a robot dynamics model which inherently reflects response nonlinearities associated with changes in robot configuration, and an optimization solver having an objective function with a torque rate term and inequality constraints defining bounds on both torque and torque rate. The torque rate control in the MPC module provides an effective means of controlling jerk in robot joints, while accurately modeling robot dynamics as the robot changes configuration during a motion program. End tooling oscillation dynamics may also be included in the MPC objective function and constraints in order to automatically control end tooling vibration in the calculations of the MPC module.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Hsien-Chung Lin, Yu Zhao, Tetsuaki Kato

Patent number: 11938633Abstract: A method for tuning the force control parameters for a general robotic assembly operation. The method uses numerical optimization to evaluate different combinations of the parameters for a robot force controller in a simulation environment that is built based on a real-world robotic setup. This method performs autonomous tuning for assembly tasks based on closed loop force control simulation, where random samples from a distribution of force control parameter values are evaluated, and the optimization routine iteratively redefines the parameter distribution to find optimal values of the parameters. Each simulated assembly is evaluated using multiple simulations including random part positioning uncertainties. The performance of each simulated assembly is evaluated by the average of the simulation results, thus ensuring that the selected control parameters will perform well in most possible conditions.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: FANUC CORPORATIONInventors: Yu Zhao, Tetsuaki Kato
