Abstract: An anonymization processing device is provided that anonymizes input data and outputs anonymized output data. The device receives the input data, anonymizes the input data, to generate anonymized data corresponding to the input data, and stores the anonymized data in a first memory. When a plurality of anonymized data items stored in the memory satisfy an anonymity index, the device generates and output a plurality of output data items corresponding to the anonymized data items, respectively, and deletes the anonymized data items from the first memory. The device further generates a plurality of the anonymization patterns based on the anonymized data items, stores the anonymization patterns in a second memory, and when the information items included in the anonymized data stored in the first memory is equivalent to each of the information items included in the anonymization pattern, respectively, the device outputs the output data from the anonymized data.

Abstract: An imaging device includes a pixel unit where pixels including photoelectric converters are arranged, and a signal processing unit that processes signals from the pixel unit. The pixel unit includes a first region including pixels each driven in a first mode to read a signal based on charge generated by the photoelectric converters and a second region including the pixels each driven in a second mode to read more signals than in the first mode including a signal based on charges generated by a part of the photoelectric converters and a signal based on charges generated by the photoelectric converters. The signal processing unit calculates a first correction value based on an average of a first data group from the first region and a second correction value based on an average of a second data group from the second region by using the first correction value as an initial value.

Abstract: A shaped object shaped by a shaping method includes a structure that is shaped by stacking plural constituent layers and a ceiling wall to support the structure. The structure includes plural spiral form parts. Each spiral form part has a cross section in an elliptic shape and extends in a stacking direction while turning with respect to a center position of the elliptic shape. The plural spiral form parts are disposed in matrix in a state where the center positions are separated from each other by a predetermined distance. The spiral form parts that are adjacently disposed in a row direction and a column direction are shaped so that the turning directions are opposite. In at least one cross section of the structure, the major axes of the spiral form parts that are adjacent in the row direction and the column direction are orthogonal to each other.
