  • Publication number: 20230237817
    Abstract: There is provided a culturing assistance device including: a memory which stores a program; and a processor which executes the program, wherein the processor executes the program to implement: acquiring a plurality of captured images in which cells are captured in time series; calculating a probability that a state of the cells shown in the acquired image is a certain state; reading predetermined state change rule information which is stored in a storage unit and indicates a relationship among a plurality of states of the cells in the time-series; and determining the state of the cell based on the calculated probability and the read state change rule information.

  • Patent number: 11575825
    Abstract: A control apparatus that access first cameras capturing a first subject of a first area, and second cameras capturing a second subject of a second area, detects a viewing direction of a spectator group in the first subject on the basis of image data of the first subject captured by any one of first cameras, identifies a focus area in the second area that is focused on by the spectator group on the basis of the viewing direction of the spectator group, identifies a focus subject, focused on by the spectator group, that is present in the focus area on the basis of image data of the second subject captured by each of the second cameras, determines a specific second camera to be a transmission source of image data from among the second cameras on the basis of the focus subject, and transmits image data from the specific second camera.

  • Patent number: 11498604
    Abstract: An annular member includes a first through hole extending through a first face to a second face forming the back face relative to the first face and having an inner face formed as a concave curved face and a tubular spherical inner ring having an outer face formed as a convex curved face extending along the inner face of the first through hole. The spherical inner face is pivotable and tiltable along the inner face of the first through hole. In a lock mechanism, the annular member is supported to a steering support mount with a support portion being fixed to the spherical inner ring of the annular member provided at the one end and the other end is pivotally supported to a vehicle body frame and supports a tilt lever.

  • Publication number: 20220015626
    Abstract: An optical device includes: an imaging optical system configured to form an image of a subject; an imaging element configured to output an image signal of the image of the subject that is formed by the imaging optical system; a spatial modulation element configured to change a phase of a wavefront in a pupil of the imaging optical system; and a control unit configured to control the spatial modulation element on the basis of the image signal output by the imaging element.

  • Publication number: 20190294930
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a machine learner that, in a neural network having an input layer to which data representing an image of fluorescence is input and an output layer that outputs a feature quantity of the image of fluorescence, calculates a coupling coefficient between the input layer and the output layer, using an output value that is output from the output layer when input value teacher data is input to the input layer, and feature quantity teacher data.
