Title: Characteristic region extraction device, characteristic region extraction method, and characteristic region extraction program
Inventor: OUCHI MAKOTO
IPC: G06V10/50
Filed: 2003-12-04
Abstract: The conventional image retrieving method is not satisfactory
in accuracy of retrieval. There has been a demand
for a general-purpose method capable of rapidly retrieving
characteristic parts. The object is achieved by acquiring
image data representing an image with pixels arranged in a
dot matrix pattern, detecting the edge pixels of the image
according to the image data, extracting the edge pixel as
the characteristic point when a pattern formed by the detected
edge pixels and their neighboring pixels is similar
to a prescribed object to be extracted, and defining as the
characteristic region the prescribed region in the image
which has the extracted characteristic points in large
number.

Abstract: A membrane-based assay device for detecting the presence or quantity of an analyte residing in a test sample is provided. The device utilizes a self-calibrated magnetic binding assay format (e.g., sandwich, competitive, etc.) that includes detection probes capable of generating a detection signal (e.g., fluorescent non-magnetic particles) and calibration probes capable of generating a calibration signal (e.g., fluorescent magnetic particles). The amount of the analyte within the test sample is proportional (e.g., directly or inversely) to the intensity of the detection signal calibrated by the intensity of the calibration signal. It has been discovered that the fluidics-based device of the present invention provides an accurate, inexpensive, and readily controllable method of determining the presence of an analyte in a test sample.

Abstract: A first part (13) of the sliding mechanism (5) is fixed to the push-rod mechanism for fixing the sliding mechanism into position. A second part (8) of the sliding mechanism supports the runner piece (6) and is guidably mounted in the wing frame (4) so that actuating the push-rod mechanism by moving the first part of the sliding mechanism will cause the second part of the sliding mechanism to be moved into the wing frame, resulting in the height of the runner piece relative to the rail (2) being altered.  The sliding mechanism and runner piece can be mounted inside the wing frame of the sliding wing (3). The sliding mechanism is movably mounted in a rail and can be fixed into position to prevent it moving using a handle-operated push-rod mechanism. The sliding mechanism can be moved along the rail via a runner piece, up to a stop where it can be fixed into a position where the rail and runner piece can be separated in order to swing the sliding frame. The height of the runner piece relative to the rail is altered in order to separate these two components.

Abstract: There are provided a wide-band speech signal compression apparatus and
a wide-band speech signal decompression apparatus, which are capable of being
compatible with a conventional standard narrow-band speech signal compression
apparatus and compressing and decompressing a high-band speech signal using
compression information of a low-band speech signal, and a method thereof.

speech compressor and a high-band speech compressor. The narrow-band
speech compressor compresses a low-band speech signal of the wide-band
speech signal and outputs the compressed low-band speech signal as a low-band
speech packet. The high-band speech compressor compresses a high-band
speech signal of a wide-band speech signal using energy of a low-band signal
provided from the narrow-band speech compressor, and outputs the compressed
high-band speech signal as a high-band speech packet. The wide-band speech
signal decompression apparatus includes a narrow-band speech decompressor, a
high-band speech decompressor, and an adder. The narrow-band speech
decompressor decompresses a compressed low-band speech packet to a
low-band speech signal. The high-band speech decompressor decompresses a
compressed high-band speech packet to a high-band speech signal using energy
information of a low-band decompression signal provided by the narrow-band
speech decompressor. The adder adds the low-band speech signal with the
high-band speech signal and outputs a wide-band decompression signal.
