The captioned video signal generating apparatus receives the original video signal and caption signal, and generates a control signal based on whether or not the caption is a real time caption. Then, the captioned video signal generating apparatus synthesizes the caption signal and the video signal and inserts the control signal to a predetermined position to generate a captioned video signal. On the contrary, the still picture contents producing apparatus extracts the caption signal and the control signal from the captioned video signal, and captures the image in the video signal based on the control signal to generate a still picture. At the same time, the still picture contents producing apparatus generates the caption video from the caption signal. Then, the still picture contents producing apparatus synthesizes the still picture and the caption image to produce the captioned still picture contents. | 01-08-2009 |

20100264934 | PROCESSING DEVICE FOR PIEZOELECTRIC ACTUATOR AND PROCESSING METHOD FOR PIEZOELECTRIC ACTUATOR - A processing device is provided with a circuit connected to a first conductive portion and a second conductive portion. An AC voltage source produces an AC waveform voltage obtained by adding a bias voltage to an AC voltage for capacitance measurement. The AC waveform voltage is applied between the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion through the measurement probes. The moment the AC waveform voltage is applied to the circuit with a switch closed, an inrush current flows through the circuit based on a potential difference of the bias voltage. This inrush current causes dielectric breakdown in the conductive resin, thereby securing the continuity of the conductive resin. With the continuity of the conductive resin secured, a capacitance of the piezoelectric body is measured by the AC waveform voltage, and it is determined whether or not the piezoelectric body is normal. | 10-21-2010 |

20140315248 | PROTEIN PRODUCTION METHOD USING TRANSFORMED PLANT CELLS - An object of this invention is to produce a protein by efficiently culturing plant cells while escaping mRNA translational repression in cultured plant cells under stress caused by lack of conditions essentially required for the growth (e.g., nutrient-starvation stress and hypoxic stress). This invention provides a method for escaping translational repression of a protein encoded by mRNA, the repression being induced by stress due to absence of conditions required for the growth, the method comprising the step of culturing a plant cell transformed with a recombinant DNA molecule encoding mRNA containing 5′ UTR defined in (a) or (b) below, the culturing being carried out under stress due to absence of conditions required for the growth: (a) 5′ UTR having a base sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6; or (b) 5′ UTR having the base sequence of the 5′ UTR of (a) in which one or more bases are replaced, deleted, or added, and which escapes translational repression induced by stress due to absence of conditions required for the growth. | 10-23-2014 |

20150204224 | EXHAUST PURIFICATION SYSTEM OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A particulate filter for trapping particulate filter which is contained in exhaust gas is arranged in an engine exhaust passage. The particulate filter is provided with exhaust gas inflow passages and exhaust gas outflow passages which are alternately arranged via porous partition walls. Movement promoting control is performed to promote movement of the ash which deposits on the inner circumferences of the exhaust gas inflow passages to the rear parts of the exhaust gas inflow passages. The pressure loss of the particulate filter is detected. When the detected pressure loss is larger than a predetermined upper limit value, PM removal control is performed to remove the particulate matter from the particulate filter. | 07-23-2015 |
