polymer whose upper or lower critical solution temperature
in water is 0∼80°C, and subsequently, (1) the temperature
of the culture solution is brought to above the upper
critical solution temperature or below the lower critical
solution temperature, and optionally, (2) the cultured cell
sheet is brought into close contact with a polymer membrane

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of converting a binary input stream of data encoded in accordance with a first format of a block encoding technique into a binary output stream of data encoded in accordance with a second format of the encoding technique. It has been developed more specifically within the scope of the conversion of a binary input stream encoded in accordance with the MPEG 1 standard into a binary output stream encoded in accordance with the MPEG 4 standard. Since the MPEG 4 standard does not allow intra macroblocks in a bidirectionally predictive-coded B picture, the conversion method in accordance with the invention comprises a step of replacing macroblocks of a B picture with predicted macroblocks.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for measuring color, luster and undulations on lacquered freeform surfaces at a predetermined target distance and symmetrically in relation to the measuring point normal lines at a measuring point. Said device is characterized by the provision of a measuring head that can be displaced in three dimensions by at least one motor and that comprises a measuring-head axis, a light emitter and a video camera. The light emitter is provided with a planar light pattern that is to be emitted along its illumination axis. An evaluation unit is provided for the light pattern (reproduction pattern) of the light emitter that is reproduced in the video camera, said evaluation unit emitting a control signal which is dependent on and formed from the distortion produced or the migration of the reproduction pattern. The measuring head is provided with a motor control, to whose input the control signal of the evaluation unit is applied and the measuring head is displaced in order to reduce the distortion or the migration of the reproduction pattern in the video camera to below a predetermined value, in such a way that both the measuring head axis coincides with the measuring point normal lines and the vertex of the angle formed by the illumination axis of the light emitter and the optical axis of the video camera coincides with the measuring point.

Abstract: The present invention relates to robot control
apparatuses which make a user recognize that speech is
accepted. A user's speech input to a microphone 15 is
subjected to speech recognition by a speech recognizer 50A.
Based on the speech recognition result, an action
determining unit 52 determines subsequent actions to be
taken by a robot. At the same time, an echo back unit 56
analyzes prosodic information of the user's speech input to
the microphone 15 and, based on the prosodic information,
generates echo back speech which is prosody-controlled
speech. The echo back speech is supplied to a loudspeaker
18 through an output controller 57 and is output from the
loudspeaker 18.
