Abstract: A model constructed by a training process using the technique of deep learning using the training data including images created from a large number of chromatograms and correct peak information is previously stored in a trained model storage section. When chromatogram data for a target sample acquired with an LC measurement unit are inputted, an image creator converts the chromatogram into an image and creates an input image in which one of the two areas divided by the chromatogram curve as the boundary in the image is filled. A peak position estimator inputs the pixel values of the input image into a trained model using a neural network, and obtains the position information of the starting point and/or ending point of the peak and a peak detection confidence as the output. A peak determiner determines the starting point and/or ending point of each peak based on the peak detection confidence.

Abstract: Provided is a password authenticating apparatus that can provide a hint for selecting a password without displaying a part of the password. The input-receiving unit receives input of a password as an input password. A password-header-comparing unit compares a header portion of the input password up to a number of header comparison characters with authentication information, and determines whether or not the header portion of the input password up to the number of header comparison characters matches a portion from the start of a registered password up to the number of header comparison characters. A screen-generating unit, when it is determined there is no match, generates a header-error screen providing guidance that the input password already does not match in the header portion as a display screen. A display-control unit causes a display unit to display the display screen generated by the screen-generating unit.
