The present invention enables analysis work to be performed even if one is not an expert with sufficient underlying knowledge regarding scattering bodies, and makes automating analysis easy. One preferable aspect of the present invention is a device that calculates a spatial parameter distribution indicating a spatial structure of a sample on the basis of a scattering pattern, which is a projection of the spatial structure of the sample to a wave number space and which is obtained as a result of detecting scattering of a particle beam, which interacts with the sample, entering the sample. The device has an interaction estimation unit that performs estimation by associating a point on the spatial parameter distribution of the sample at which there is interaction, during the scattering process, with a signal on the scattering pattern. In addition, the device has a parameter distribution calculation unit that aggregates the estimation results of the interaction estimation unit, and calculates a spatial parameter distribution of the sample matching the aggregated results. In addition, the device has a spatial parameter accuracy improvement calculation unit that improves the spatial parameter distribution estimation accuracy by alternately performing, multiple times, the estimations of the interaction estimation unit and the calculations of the parameter distribution calculation unit. This particle beam measurement results analysis device is characterized by being configured as described above.

MONITORING INSTRUMENT, ATTACHED CONDITION SENSOR AND REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM
The object is aimed to provide a monitoring instrument, an attached condition sensor and a remote monitoring system that are configured to realize remote monitoring relating to safety of an article, wherein a battery-driven monitoring can be performed at all times or at predetermined intervals and for a long term. This is realized by limiting the operation to the acquisition of an existence range of a physical value of a monitored object so that factors increasing electric power consumption such as an AD converter are omitted to minimize the essential structure, thereby reducing the electric power consumption and avoiding the trouble of maintaining the electric power source. The monitoring instrument and remote monitoring system have a means for discriminating only the region of a physical value to be detected in order to make the attached condition sensor used in the monitoring instrument operable at all times or at predetermined intervals and for a long term, thereby making a transmitting function operable only when abnormality is detected and reducing the electric power consumption.

Abrégé
An example radar system for a vehicle comprises a radar antenna, operable to produce a radar beam, and a lens assembly including at least one active lens, the radar beam passing through the lens assembly. The radar beam has a field of view that is adjustable using the active lens. In some examples, the active lens comprises a metamaterial, the metamaterial having an adjustable property such as an adjustable negative index, the field of view being adjustable using the adjustable property of the metamaterial.

Abrégé
The present invention relates to compositions and a process in the field of self-cleaning system using digestive proteins. One composition includes a substrate, a digestive protein capable of decomposing a stain molecule, and a link moiety bound to both said digestive protein and said substrate. An alternative composition includes a digestive protein capable of decomposing a stain molecule and a coating substrate wherein said digestive protein may be dispersed in said coating substrate. The process claim includes binding a substrate to a surface and forming a linker moiety between a digestive protein and said substrate.
