Abstract: A light source (11) of a disguising mask detecting device (1) emits light at a person who is a subject. A camera (12) acquires images in multiple different wavelength ranges of reflected light of the light emitted at the person. A face detector (172) detects a face region of the person from the images acquired by the camera (12). A determiner (173) determines that the person is wearing a disguising mask when luminances of the face region in the images satisfy specific relations different from relations exhibited by skin.

Abstract: An image analyzer unit performs lesion site detection for each tomographic image. In response to a lesion site detection state, the image analyzer unit outputs a position data array and a size data array that represent temporal change in position and size of the lesion site. A rate of change calculator unit calculates a rate of change that represents a degree of temporal change in tomographic image content. A smoother unit smooths the position data array and the size data array in accordance with the rate of change. A mark is generated based on the smoothed position data array and the smoothed size data array.

The PA2 is a condensation product of an aliphatic carboxylic acid, a hydroxy group-containing aliphatic carboxylic acid and an aliphatic amine having from 3 to 10 carbon atoms; and the aliphatic carboxylic acid includes an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having from 11 to 20 carbon atoms. With respect to the endothermic amount calculated from the peak area of the differential scanning calorimetry curve of PA2 as obtained by differential scanning calorimetry measurement, the ratio of the endothermic amount within the range of from 50° C. to 190° C. to the total endothermic amount within the range of from 50° C. to 200° C. is 90% or more.

Abstract: A server presents a first setting screen for entering settings relating to target image data for transmission, transmits the target image data to a cloud service in accordance with the settings, stores the settings associated with a type of the target image data and information of a user, and presents a second setting screen for selecting whether or not to use settings identical to any stored settings for new target image data. When presenting the first setting screen, the server presents it in a state in which, from the stored settings which the user selected to use settings identical to, a type of image data is omitted and settings required for transmission have been reflected. The server stores a type of the new target image data added to and associated with the selected stored settings.
