The photoelectric conversion element includes a first electrode and a second electrode arranged to face each other, and a photoelectric conversion layer 17 provided between the first electrode and the second electrode, in which the photoelectric conversion layer 17 includes a first organic semiconductor material and a second organic semiconductor material, and at least one of the first organic semiconductor material or the second organic semiconductor material is an organic molecule having a HOMO volume fraction of 0.15 or less or a LUMO volume fraction of 0.15 or less.

Abstract: An encoder that encodes a current block in a picture includes circuitry and memory. Using the memory, the circuitry: performs a first transform on a residual signal of the current block using a first transform basis to generate first transform coefficients; and performs a second transform on the first transform coefficients using a second transform basis to generate second transform coefficients and quantizes the second transform coefficients, when the first transform basis is the same as a predetermined transform basis; and quantizes the first transform coefficients without performing the second transform, when the first transform basis is different from the predetermined transform basis.

Abstract: It is to provide a process and apparatus for producing soymilk which is obtained by completely deactivating various kinds of enzymes responsible for a grassy smell, while preventing heating unevenness, and inducing appropriate thermal denaturation of protein and a rich flavor, and which can be processed by coagulation into tofu high in water retentivity and elasticity and rich in flavor.

Abstract: A system and method for evaluating a material body by a scattered light observation system which observes a gel state or a gel-formable sol state material body illuminated with a coherent light through a two dimensional image recognizing means, including measuring a gel state or a change in sol-gel state of said material body using a light section formed on an image forming surface or conditions of a speckle pattern.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to solve the problems regarding the quality control of processed products (including packaged products and intermediate products during production processes) by establishing a non-destructive and non-contact type method for the measurement of gel state of a material body and a change in sol-gel state of the material body, and thereby to provide a quick automatic inspection system by which 100% inspection can be carried out easily and inexpensively on the production line. The problem is solved by observing an image formation or speckle pattern of a light section formed on the surface or observing face of the material body, using a light scattering observation system in which a coherent light (e.g.
