Abstract: An object of the present invention is to acquire biometric information on small animals without being affected by the movements of the small animals and also without giving stress to the small animals. The present invention includes the steps of: acquiring pieces of image information on a hand and/or a foot of a quadrupedal small animal; extracting a predetermined piece of signal information from among the pieces of image information that have been acquired; and processing the predetermined piece of the signal information which has been extracted so as to acquire biometric information on the small animal. The present invention further includes the step of capturing an image of an abdominal side of the small animal, and the step of capturing an image of the small animal from below a location of the small animal.

Abstract: When relation between a color of a color chip (a patch) in a color chart and a color of a color chip in an image-captured color chart is calculated, the color chip of the image-captured color chart was manually extracted by operating a keyboard or a mouse. Such an operation had a problem that an extraction error may occur, and that it takes time to manually extract all color chips in the color chart. The present invention solved the problem by a color chart in which recognition can be easily and automatically executed. The color chart includes a plurality of patches, and an automatic recognition marker configured to automatically recognize at least one of the plurality of patches.

Abstract: A superconducting magnet device including a superconducting coil formed of a high-temperature superconducting wire, a power supply which supplies current to the superconducting coil, and a protector capable of forming a short-circuit path which short-circuits both ends of the superconducting coil to each other is installed. Current is made to flow from the power supply to the superconducting coil in a superconducting state, and the superconducting coil thereby generates a magnetic field. After the magnetic field is generated, when an abnormality of the superconducting magnet device is detected, or when the power supply and the superconducting coil are disconnected from each other, the short-circuit path is formed by the protector.
