Abstract: A cell culture method includes performing adherent culture of cells on a coat layer layered on a surface of a cell culture container by placing a culture medium and the cells in the cell culture container. The coat layer includes a layer (i) that includes a layer (i-1) including gelatin or casein and a layer (i-2) that includes a polycationic material and a layer (ii) that is layered on the layer (i) and includes a cell adhesion factor. The layer (ii) is disposed at a position at which the layer (ii) comes into contact with the cells, or the coat layer includes the layer (i) and the layer (i) is disposed at a position at which the layer (i) comes into contact with the cells, and the culture medium includes the cell adhesion factor.

Abstract: A wearable apparatus which rapidly outputs a result of personal authentication without performing a personal authentication process on a user every time. A wearable apparatus includes an authentication processing unit that performs personal authentication for a user wearing the wearable apparatus, a detection unit that detects a mounting state of the wearable apparatus, a determination processing unit that determines whether a result of the personal authentication is valid or invalid on the basis of the mounting state detected by the detection unit, and a control unit that omits the personal authentication in the authentication processing unit, and outputs a result of the personal authentication in a case where the user is personally authenticated by the authentication processing unit, and then the result of the personal authentication is determined as being valid by the determination processing unit.

Abstract: A guidance method includes an execution step of executing a control command processed when an operation of a user or an event such as malfunction occurs, a generation step of generating control information regarding the control command, a notification step of notifying the control information to the user, a setting step of setting mode information for at least one of a first mode in which the control information is notified, and a second mode in which the control command is executed, and a processing step of causing the control information to be notified in the notification step in a case where the first mode is set, and causing the control command to be executed in the execution step in a case where the second mode is set.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus has a mode selecting unit for selecting one of plural image selection modes having different objects. There is also an image selecting unit for selecting a set of composite image reproduction data and items of component image data from a group of the sets of the composite image reproduction data formed of items of the component image data or from a group of the items of the component image data. The selection is performed in accordance with the image selection mode selected by the mode selecting unit. The group of the sets of the composite image reproduction data, and the group of the items of the component image data, are objects for selection. A processing unit executes a process for the set of the composite image reproduction data or the item of the component image data selected by the image selecting unit.

Abstract: Selection of a main file and entry of the name of a package file, an output destination folder, etc., are accepted (step S100), the files in the folder of the same name as the main file existing in the same folder as the selected main file are packaged as related files (step S110), and the packaged files are output as a package file based on the entered name and the output destination folder (S120). Consequently, a plurality of electronic files can be packaged for easy handling.

Abstract: Since both an output setting value and an output subject identifier, which are contained by a setting program, are stored as one record into a drawing table, an output condition such as a layout of image data which is designated when a printing operation is carried out can be previously set before the printing operation is carried out. Since photograph numbers of image data stored in a memory card are defined in relation to output subject identifiers, such image data to be printed out can be designated.

Abstract: The procedure of the invention sets a transparent area on an image consisting of multiple pixels. Each pixel has, as parameters, three channels respectively having tone values in a predetermined range with regard to three primary colors, R, G, and B and an alpha channel having a tone value in a predetermined range that represents a degree of transparency. In response to specification of a degree of transparency and its range to set a transparent area, the procedure inputs a data value Ain of the alpha channel representing the specified degree of transparency and the specified range of the transparent area, and compares the input data value Ain with a current setting of data value A of the alpha channel with respect to each of the pixels in the specified range.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus has a mode selecting unit for selecting any one of a plurality of image selection modes having different objects for selection. There is also an image selecting unit for selecting any set of composite image reproduction data and items of component image data from a group of the sets of the composite image reproduction data formed of items of the component image data or from a group of the items of the component image data. The selection is performed in accordance with the image selection mode selected by the mode selecting unit. The group of the sets of the composite image reproduction data, and the group of the items of the component image data, are objects for selection that can be selected by the selected image selection mode. Also, a processing unit executes a predetermined process for the set of the composite image reproduction data or the item of the component image data selected by the image selecting unit.
