Abstract: A personal identification device prevents the reduction in the finger vein recognition rate which otherwise occur due to erroneous insertion of a finger (1) by a user not accustomed to operation or insertion of a false finger (1) at low cost. The device includes an image pickup unit (2), a light source (3) for emitting light adapted to be transmitted through the finger (1) and incident on said image pickup unit (2), and an image operating unit (11) for generating a vein pattern from the image picked up by said image pickup unit (2). The device may further include a display (15) for displaying a guide (61; 64) together with the generated vein pattern to allow setting the finger (1) to a registration position. Alternatively, the personal identification device may be arranged to control the light power of said light source (3) based on the brightness of the image. Finally, the processing unit (11) may be adapted to determine whether the finger (1) is that of an organism or not by evaluating the fluctuation of the power of light received by a light-sensitive element (50) from another light source (51) in a fingertip guide unit (4).

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of treating movement disorders by administering an effective amount of one or more adenosine A 2A  receptor antagonists to a patient in need thereof. The present invention also provides methods of decreasing the adverse effects of L-DOPA in patients receiving L-DOPA therapy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. The present invention further provides methods and compositions for treating Parkinson's disease patients with sub-clinically effective doses of L-DOPA by combining L-DOPA treatment with an effective amount of one or more adenosine A 2A  receptor antagonists (i.e., L-DOPA sparing effect). The present invention further provides methods of effective treatment of Parkinson's disease by co-administering at least one adenosine A 2A  receptor antagonist, L-DOPA and a dopamine agonist and/or a COMT inhibitor and/or a MAO inhibitor. The present invention further provides methods of prolonging effective treatment of Parkinson's disease by administering an adenosine A 2A  receptor antagonist singly or together with a dopamine agonist, and/or a COMT inhibitor, and/or a MAO inhibitor without prior or subsequent administration of L-DOPA, delaying or removing on-set of L-DOPA motor complication.

Abstract: Polypeptides with desirable biophysical properties such as solubility, stability, high expression, monomericity, binding specificity or non-aggregation, including monomeric human V H s and V L s, are identified using a high throughput method for screening polypeptides, comprising the steps of obtaining a phage display library, allowing infection of a bacterial lawn by the library phage, and identifying phage which form larger than average plaques on the bacterial lawn. Sequences of monomeric human V H s or V L s are identified, which may be useful for immunotherapy or as diagnostic agents. Multimer complexes of human V H s and V L s are also identified. The V H s and V L s identified many be used to create further libraries for identifying additional polypeptides. Further, the V H s and V L s may be subjected to DNA shuffling to select for improved biophysical properties.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus capable of preventing degradation of image quality and reducing time required for rotational phase control. Toner images different in color are formed on a plurality of photosensitive drums, respectively. The toner images are transferred onto an intermediate transfer belt in superimposed relation. A motor controller performs phase control for bringing phases of the respective photosensitive drums into predetermined relation based on a rotational phase difference detected using phase detection sensors. When the rotational phase difference is out of a predetermined range, the motor controller performs the phase control with the photosensitive drums and the intermediate transfer belt separated from each other, whereas when the rotational phase difference is within the predetermined range, the motor controller performs the phase control with the photosensitive drums and the intermediate transfer belt in contact with each other.

Abstract: Embodiments of a target-tracking system and method of determining an initial target track in a high-clutter environment are generally described herein. The target-tracking system may register image information of first and second warped images with image information of a reference image. Pixels of the warped images may be offset based on the outputs of the registration to align each warped images with the reference image. A three-frame difference calculation may be performed on the offset images and the reference image to generate a three-frame difference output image. Clutter suppression may be performed on the three-frame difference image to generate a clutter-suppressed output image for use in target-track identification. The clutter suppression may include performing a gradient operation on a background image to remove any gradient objects.

Abstract: Provided is a parameter decoding device for a CELP-type encoded speech signal which performs parameter compensation process so as to suppress degradation of a main observation quality in a prediction quantization. The parameter decoding device includes amplifiers (305-1 to 305-M) which multiply inputted quantization prediction residual vectors x n-1  to x n-M  by a weighting coefficient β 1  to β M . The amplifier (306) multiplies the preceding frame decoding LSF vector y n-1  by the weighting coefficient β -1 . The amplifier (307) multiplies the code vector x n+1  outputted from a codebook (301) by the weighting coefficient β 0 . An adder (308) calculates the total of the vectors outputted from the amplifiers (305-1 to 305-M), the amplifier (306), and the amplifier (307). A selector switch (309) selects the vector outputted from the adder (308) if the frame erasure coding B n  of the current frame indicates that 'the n-th frame is an erased frame' and the frame erasure coding B n+1  of the next frame indicates that 'the n+1-th frame is a normal frame'.
