Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for identifying a molecular structure by a single crystal X-ray analysis. A single crystal that gives an X-ray diffraction spectrum sufficient for determining a structure of a molecule can be efficiently obtained by including a test molecule in a metal complex, and then crystallizing the test-molecule included in the metal complex. By analyzing this single crystal by an X-ray analysis, it is possible to determine a structure of the test molecule without obtaining a single crystal of the test molecule. With the novel method according to the present invention, the structure of a test molecule in a trace amount of a sample can also be determined.

Abstract: In an information processing device, a skeleton estimation unit estimates a skeleton of a service user, an information acquisition unit acquires attribute data including a body height of a service user, and a calculation unit calculates a length of a target portion of the service user based on the skeleton and the body height, and an information providing unit provides predetermined information (information about foot grounding property, an inclined angle of an upper body, and a posture, and the like) about a posture of the service user based on the length of the target portion and the information about a test ride vehicle serving as a seating target.

Abstract: A length of a target portion is determined such that foot grounding property can be determined during a virtual test ride, and to easily determine a length equal to or approximate to an actual measured length of the target portion without using a sensor configured to directly detect an actual measured value. In an information processing device, a skeleton estimation unit estimates a skeleton of the service user, an information acquisition unit acquires attribute data including a body height of a service user, and a calculation unit calculates a first length equivalent to a first skeleton forming a part of the body height. The first length is obtained by subtracting, from the body height, a specified value and calculates each length of target portions (a leg, an arm, and a torso) of the service user using ratios among the skeletons in the estimated skeleton, and the first length.
