Abstract

A tissue cell parameter processing device (101) estimates a tissue cell parameter from images obtained by imaging an affected area. In this estimation, a reception unit (102) receives a low-load image obtained by imaging the affected area under a low-load condition. A generation unit (103) feeds the low-load image as input into a trained generative model, and thus generates a high-load image that would be obtained by imaging the affected area under a high-load condition. An estimation unit (104) estimates a tissue cell parameter pertaining to the affected area from the high-load image. A control unit (105), which can be omitted, executes the processing by the reception unit (102), the generation unit (103), and the estimation unit (104) on a plurality of low-load images respectively obtained by imaging the affected area at different times, so that the tissue cell parameter at the different times is estimated. A prediction unit (106), which can be omitted, feeds the tissue cell parameter at the different times as input into a trained predictive model, and thus interpolates and predicts temporal changes in the tissue cell parameter.

According to the present invention, atoms are trapped by a quadrupole magnetic field formed by ring-shaped magnets and three sets of laser beam pairs. A portion of the laser beam pairs is partially blocked by the ring-shaped magnets, , so that a region which is a non-atom trap space is formed inside an intersecting region where the three groups of laser beam pairs cross. The inside of the intersecting region is irradiated with a laser beam so that atoms within the non-atom catch space are extracted from the intersecting region.

Abstract

In order to set a target value for a physical quantity of an object to be controlled, an acquisition unit (102) in a control device (101) acquires a physical quantity pertaining to an object to be observed and a time differential of the physical quantity pertaining to the object to be observed. A calculation unit (103) calculates the sum of the acquired physical quantity and the product of the acquired time differential and a prediction coefficient. A setting unit (104) sets, as the target value for the physical quantity pertaining to the object to be controlled, an upper limit value if the calculated sum exceeds the upper limit value, a lower limit value if the calculated sum is less than the lower limit value, and the calculated sum if the calculated sum is equal to or greater than the lower limit value and equal to or less than the upper limit value. The control device (101) repeats the acquisition by the acquisition unit (102), the calculation by the calculation unit (103), and the setting by the setting unit (104).

Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium has stored therein a prediction control program that causes a computer to execute a process. The prediction control program is a prediction control program of a structure prediction model that predicts a three-dimensional structure of an organic compound from sequence information on the organic compound. The process comprises changing an intermediate feature value of the structure prediction model so that a difference between first limiting information and second limiting information different from the first limiting information is lessened, the first limiting information corresponding to a predicted structure output as a prediction result from the structure prediction model.

Abstract

A moving image processing device (101) provides a moving image indicating the beat of a musical piece being reproduced. A setting unit (102) sets a vicinity position in the vicinity of a predetermined position in a screen. An input unit (103) receives an input of a beat moving image reproduced in synchronization with the musical piece which is reproduced in accordance with a control signal output from a DJ controller. The beat moving image is a moving image in which a beat object associated with each beat of the musical piece moves in the screen, and the beat object associated with the relevant beat reaches the predetermined position in the screen at a beat timing at which the relevant beat of the musical piece is reproduced. Each time a frame of the beat moving image is input, a drawing unit (104) draws a timing object at the set vicinity position in the input frame. An output unit (105) outputs a frame in which the timing object is drawn as a frame of a timing moving image. If a detection unit (106), which may be omitted, detects a scratch operation, the drawing unit (104) also draws a scratch object.

Abstract

This atom trap device 10 for trapping atoms comprises an atom trap unit 16 on which an atomic gas beam is incident. The atom trap unit 16 includes a plurality of optical elements that form a laser light group 18, and a magnetic field generation unit 22. The magnetic field generation unit 22 is provided with at least two spiral coils and, if necessary, a tapered solenoid coil, and optimizes a magnetic field in a guide direction. The spiral coils are configured so that the tip becomes thinner and the winding density becomes sparse as the atoms advance in the direction in which the atoms are guided. The spiral coils are arranged so as to face each other so that an interval therebetween becomes narrower as the atoms advance in the direction in which the atoms are guided. The tapered solenoid coil generates a magnetic field that optimizes the guiding of the atoms and the laser cooling during the guiding by adjusting the component in the direction in which the atoms of the magnetic field generated by the spiral coils are guided. The atom trap unit 16 may also include a baseball coil instead of the spiral coils and the tapered solenoid coil.

Abstract

The present invention enhances light extraction efficiency (LEE) in a 230 nm band UVC-LED. This AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet LED having a light emission wavelength λ has a photonic crystal periodic structure in a thickness direction, wherein the distance between an upper part of a quantum well layer and a bottom part of the photonic crystal periodic structure substantially satisfies a resonance condition λ/n of free end reflection. Here, n is the weighted average refractive index of a layer structure existing between the upper part of the quantum well layer and the bottom part of the photonic crystal periodic structure.

The device comprises: an inspecting unit for emitting terahertz waves toward the inner circumferential surface and detecting reflected waves of the terahertz waves; and a distance measuring unit for measuring the distance between the inspecting unit and the inner circumferential surface. The inspection target and the distance measuring unit are caused to rotate in the circumferential direction of the object under inspection. Further, the relative axial position of the inspecting unit with respect to the object under inspection is adjusted. Further, the position of the inspecting unit in a plane intersecting the axial direction of the object under inspection can be adjusted. Control of the position adjustment mechanism is performed on the basis of the measurement result from the distance measuring unit such that the center of rotation of a rotation unit is positioned on the central axis of the object under inspection.

Abstract

An observation device includes a neutron emission device, a detection device, and a data processing device. The neutron emission device emits neutrons to an inspection object. The detection device detects exit neutrons from the inspection object at one set of detection positions in a peripheral direction around the inspection object, outside the inspection object, and measures the number of the detected exit neutrons for each of the detection positions. The data processing device generates reconstructed cross-sectional data by performing reconstruction processing based on the number of the detected exit neutrons at each of the one set of detection positions. The reconstructed cross-sectional data represent a two-dimensional distribution of a neutron reaction rate in an imaginary cross-section of the inspection object.

Abstract

This information processing device is provided with a state information acquisition unit and an analysis processing unit. The state information acquisition unit continuously acquires objective state information of a patient suffering from a disease, and subjective state information based on the patient's subjectivity. On the basis of the objective state information and the subjective state information, and using a predetermined information processing technique, the analysis processing unit continuously executes predetermined analysis processing including setting of a policy recommended to be executed by the patient in order to improve the symptom of the disease, and outputs the result of the analysis processing in a manner that can be perceived by the patient.
