Patent EP-1503528-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ISSHIKI KUNIHIKO
IPC: H04J14/02
Filed: 2003-04-03
Abstract: An optical amplifier multiplexes pump lights, having different
wavelengths output from a plurality of pump light sources, on a
wavelength-division multiplexed signal light propagating through a
transmission path to provide Raman amplification. The optical
amplifier includes an intensity modulator that modulates the intensity of
pump light output from a pump light source, out of the pump light
sources, at a predetermined frequency. The optical amplifier also
includes a gain modulation signal detector that converts a part of the
wavelength-division multiplexed signal light Raman-amplified to
electrical signals, and extracts a gain modulation signal having a
component of the frequency from the electrical signals converted. The
optical amplifier further includes a controller that controls only the
intensity of the pump light, output from a pump light source, of which
intensity is modulated at the frequency to control Raman amplification
gain so that an amplitude of the gain modulation signal extracted within
a predetermined period becomes a predetermined value.

Abstract: The invention relates to techniques for light leakage compensation in a multi-channel display device. The invention may be particularly useful in calculating single-channel emission spectra for liquid crystal displays (LCD). In order to accurately model and calibrate a display device, an accurate spectral output estimate for each of the individual color channels is needed. The invention provides techniques to compensate for light leakage from adjacent color channels that cause hue shifts in the images reconstructed by the display device. In accordance with the invention, a light leakage emission spectrum can be determined for each color channel of a display based on a measured emission spectrum for the display at a minimum level and assumed emission spectra for light sources in the display. A single-channel emission spectrum is the difference between a cumulative color channel emission spectrum measurement and the light leakage spectra of adjacent color channels.

Abstract: Establishment of hepatocytes is difficult. An object is to provide a means for preparing hepatocytes useful for hepatocyte transplantation therapy for liver injury, which comprises differentiating mesenchymal stem cells (the proliferation techniques of which have been established), and in particular, stroma cells, which are bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, into hepatocytes. We have discovered that transplantation of human mesenchymal stem cells into the livers of mammals such as rats that have developed chronic liver injuries due to continuous administration of an agent can cause the human mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into hepatocytes or mature hepatocytes. We have thus developed a means for differentiating mesenchymal stem cells into mature hepatocytes.
