Abstract: A cell area extraction unit (241) extracts a cell area in a phase image that is created based on a hologram obtained by in-line holographic microscope (IHM). A background value acquisition unit (242) obtains a background value from phase values at a plurality of positions outside the cell area. An intracellular phase value acquisition unit (243) averages a plurality of phase values on a sampling line set at a position close to the periphery of a cell, while avoiding a central portion in which the phase value may be lowered in the cell area, to obtain an intracellular phase value. A phase change amount calculation unit (244) obtains the difference between the intracellular phase value and the background value. A phase change amount determination unit (245) compares the value of the difference with thresholds in two levels to determine whether the cell is in an undifferentiated state or an undifferentiation deviant state.

Abstract: A driving support apparatus derives position prediction data when T=Tn, which is when a predicted time Tn has elapsed from the present time, based on acquired map data, position data and speed data. Direction prediction data indicating a traveling direction of a vehicle 1 at the time T=Tn is derived based on acquired map data and derived position prediction data. A yaw angle which is an angle formed by a traveling direction D0 represented by e direction data and the traveling direction Dn represented by direction prediction data is derived. A target speed Vn of the vehicle is then derived.

Abstract: A control unit performs driving assistance. An acquiring unit acquires future circumstance information related to a future circumstance that an own vehicle is predicted to subsequently encounter on a route further ahead of a current location. A determining unit determines whether or not the future circumstance indicated by the acquired future circumstance information is applicable to an event in which continuation of driving assistance is not possible. An urgency level setting unit sets an urgency level that indicates a level of urgency of the future circumstance when the determining unit determines that continuation of driving assistance is not possible. A limit setting unit sets a limit related to time or distance at which to cancel driving assistance and switch to manual driving, based on the set urgency level. A notifying unit notifies a driver of information prompting cancellation of driving assistance based on content of the set limit.

Abstract: In a vehicle control device, a target motion estimation unit estimates a motion for a target area representing an area where no other vehicle is traveling on a lane in the future based on motions of other vehicles traveling on the lane to which a course is to be changed. A control amount setting unit sets a control amount of an own vehicle required in order to make the motion of the target area and a motion of the own vehicle match. A motion control unit controls the motion of the own vehicle according to the set control amount.
