  • Publication number: 20240274272
    Abstract: An information processing system includes a processor that performs an object detection to detect an object from a detection target image. The processor divides the detection target image into a group of first grid cells. The object is positioned to overlap a group of second grid cells included in the group of the first grid cells. At this time, the processor generates a bounding box in a respective second grid cell included in the group of the second grid cells. The processor surrounds a portion of the object positioned in the respective second grid cell with the bounding box generated in the respective second grid cell and displays, on a display, a position and shape of the object by a collection of a plurality of bounding boxes superimposedly on the detection target image.

  • Patent number: 11815475
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230077027
    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.
