Abstract: A distance-measuring system includes: a plurality of light sources; a light source controller that controls the plurality of light sources; an imager that generates a distance image for each reflection light emitted by the plurality of light sources and reflected by a subject; a reliability level output unit that outputs a reliability level for each distance image; and an image compositor that composites a plurality of distance images. The emission areas of the plurality of light sources which emit light at different angles relative to an optical axis of the imager have a common emission area to which light is emitted in common, and the image compositor exclusively selects pixels to be composited from the plurality of distance images for an outside of the common emission area, and determines pixels to be composited based on the reliability level for the common emission area to generate a composite distance image.

Abstract: A novel sperm quality assessment device includes a main frame and a test pad. The test pad is encircled by the main frame and includes an exposed introductory portion. The test pad has greater hydrophilicity than the main frame, and includes an MTT reagent. Therefore, the activity pattern of the colored motile sperms can be used to estimate sperm quality, such as motility. The present device has the particular advantage of using paper to reduce manufacturing cost, and is also easy to use.

Abstract: An information processing device includes an operation input unit which inputs a user operation, a U/I screen generation unit which generates a U/I screen where a row of a plurality of category options for selecting a category and a row of a plurality of icons which is an option belonging to what is selected among the plurality of category options are orthogonally disposed, and when a selection of the option in the row of the plurality of category options is changed by the input user operation, an icon rotator which changes the plurality of icons from icons corresponding to those before a change of the category to icons corresponding to those after the change of the category by an animation display which causes the icon to rotate around the rotation axis in the same direction as a direction of the row of icons.

Abstract: A chamber for optical observation is provided which not only reduces evaporation of a sample put therein but also hardly adsorbs the sample, and allows more accurate evaluation of motility of the sample, and so on. The chamber for optical observation includes a lower transparent plate on which a sample is placed and an upper transparent plate which covers an upper side of the sample. The lower transparent plate is formed of a flexible material. When the sample is placed on a central portion of the lower transparent plate and covered with the upper transparent plate, the central portion of the lower transparent plate is depressed due to its own weight and the weight of the sample. In this state, a peripheral portion of the lower transparent plate comes into contact with the upper transparent plate, whereby the sample can be sealed with the upper transparent plate and the lower transparent plate.
