Abstract: Provided are a livestock sensor device, a livestock astasia inference method, a livestock astasia inference program, and a livestock management system that are capable of preventing damage to stockbreeders. According to an embodiment of the present technology, there is provided a livestock sensor device including a postural-state determination unit, a state inference unit, a transmission unit, and a casing. The postural-state determination unit determines in which of a prostrate state and a non-prostrate state a livestock animal has been on a basis of output values from an acceleration sensor. The state inference unit infers whether or not the livestock animal has developed astasia on a basis of a duration of the prostrate state. The transmission unit transmits, to a server, an astasia-notification data item indicating that an inference that the livestock animal has developed the astasia is made when the inference that the livestock animal has developed the astasia is made.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing the glucopyranosyloxypyrazole derivatives which are useful as agents for the prevention or treatment of a disease associated with hyperglycemia such as diabetes, diabetic complications, obesity or the like. A glucopyranosyloxypyrazole derivative can be easily and efficiently prepared by allowing a benzylpyrazole derivative represented by the general formula: wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 may be the same or different, for example each of them is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or an alkyl, alkoxy, arylmethyloxy group or the like, R6 is an alkyl group, for example R7 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, alkoxy, arylmethyloxy group or the like, to react with a compound represented by the general formula: wherein as an example, PG1 is a pivaloyl group or the like, as an example, X1 is a bromine atom or the like, therefore the present invention is extremely useful as a method for preparing pharmaceutical compounds.

Abstract: An image capture apparatus includes a housing body, an image capture optical system, an image capture device, a connector, a cover, and an operation member. The display panel is provided to the housing body to be pivotable between a usage position where a display surface of the display panel is visible and a storage position where the display surface of the display panel is in contact with a surface of the housing body. The cover opens or closes the insertion/removal opening by extending or retracting on the insertion/removal opening from an interior of the housing body. The operation member is provided to the housing body, and is operated to move the cover along a direction of opening or closing the insertion/removal opening, the operation member being provided to the housing body.

Abstract: A panel housing moves across a storage position and first and second usage position. In the storage position, the panel housing closes against a housing body and a display surface is positioned in close proximity to a storage face of the housing body. In the first usage position, the panel housing opens to thereby cause the display surface to be visible. In the second usage position, the panel housing closes, and an outer face of the panel housing is positioned close proximity to the storage face to thereby cause the display surface to be visible. The storage face has a protrusion for stopping rotation of the panel housing about a second axis when either an inner face of the panel housing or the display surface is pushed toward the outer face in the state that the panel housing positioned in the second usage position.
