There is provided a method for classifying and counting leukocytes with abnormal DNA amount, which comprises: (1) a step of staining cells in a sample obtained from a hematological sample by treatment with a hemolytic agent to lyse erythrocytes, with a fluorescent dye which can make a difference in the fluorescence intensity at least among mature leukocytes, leukocytes with abnormal DNA amount and immature leukocytes; (2) a step of introducing the sample containing the stained cells into a flow cytometer to measure scattered light and fluorescence of the respective cells; (3) a step of classifying leukocytes and coincidence cells/platelet clumps utilizing a difference in the intensity of a scattered light peak and a difference in the scattered light width; (4) a step of classifying and counting mature leukocytes, leukocytes with abnormal DNA amount and immature leukocytes, utilizing a difference in the scattered light intensity and a difference in the fluorescence intensity of leukocytes classified in the step (3).

A retransmission apparatus retransmits TS (Transport Stream) packets based on a received broadcast wave to a plurality of receiving apparatus through a network. The retransmission apparatus has a TS packet determination unit for determining whether a continuity of circulation counter values in the TS packets keeps in length equal to or more larger than a first predetermined threshold value N, and for retransmitting these TS packets when the determination is true, or for canceling these TS packets when the determination is false. Also, the TS packet determination unit determines whether a discontinuity of circulation counter values in the TS packets keeps in length equal to or more larger than a second predetermined threshold value T without retransmitting these TS packets, and sends an “off service” signal to a plurality of receiving apparatus when the determination is true.

A playlist generating section generates a playlist by grouping a plurality of pieces of program information based on meta information stored in a database. Also, the playlist generating section generates the playlist by further including, in the playlist, current status information indicating a reproduction status of the playlist and changed status information indicating an update status of the plurality of pieces of the program information corresponding to the playlist. A display unit displays an image based on the playlist such that information representing the current status and the changed status is further included in the image based on the playlist for allowing selection of the playlist. As a result, it is possible to select a program desired by a user by a simple operation.

A first buffer analyzer receives attribute information (a) of a video signal (A) from a stream buffer (A) to determine an encoded picture type after correction and a generated encoding amount after correction for a switch terminating measure. A second buffer analyzer receives attribute information (b) of a video signal (B) and final buffer-state information after the switch terminating measure from a stream buffer (B) to determine an encoded picture type after correction and a generated encoding amount after correction for a switch starting measure. A re-encoder/re-quantizer (A) and a re-encoder/re-quantizer (B) perform the switch terminating measure and the switch starting measure on the video signals (A) and (B), respectively, based on the correction information from the first and second buffer analyzers.
摘要:
A method for counting megakaryocytes in a specimen is described. In the method, first, erythrocytes in the specimen are lysed and nucleic acid in the megakaryocytes is stained with a fluorescent dye, and thereby, a measurement sample is prepared. Next, the cells in the measurement sample are irradiated with excited light so that the forward scattered light, the side scattered light and the fluorescence, which are emitted from the cells, are detected. Megakaryocytes are identified on the basis of the detected forward scattered light, the fluorescence and the side scattered light. Then, the identified megakaryocytes are counted.
