Abstract: An air conditioning control device includes: an operation pattern acquiring unit to acquire operation patterns indicating an operation target air conditioner in a room; a temperature data acquiring unit to acquire temperature data indicating a temperature measured by a temperature sensor when the air conditioner is in operation: a prediction model generating unit to generate, using a control amount of the air conditioner and temperature data acquired when the air conditioner is in operation as training data, a room-temperature prediction model for predicting the temperature measured by the temperature sensor when the air conditioner are in operation; and an operation pattern selecting unit to provide the control amount of the air conditioner to the room-temperature prediction model to acquire a prediction temperature from each of the room-temperature prediction models, and selects one operation pattern from the operation patterns on the basis of the prediction temperature.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a substance with a modified carbon allotrope surface that can suppress or prevent uneven distribution, uneven orientation, and the like of a structural analysis target substance in a structural analysis by cryo-electron microscopy. A method for producing a substance with a modified carbon allotrope surface of the present invention includes: the step of surface-treating by reacting a carbon allotrope surface with a halogen oxide radical, wherein the carbon allotrope surface is modified by the surface-treating.

Abstract: A pointing device is provided. The pointing device is configured to output a movement instruction signal for moving a cursor on a display in an instructed direction and includes: a pointing stick; a cursor movement including a +X sensor, ?X sensor, +Y sensor and ?Y sensor configured to sense a cursor movement instruction signal for instructing the cursor to move in +X direction, ?X direction, +Y direction and ?Y direction, respectively, according to an operation to the pointing stick; and a stick Z direction operation detector configured to determine that an instruction signal according to an operation to the pointing stick is different from the cursor movement instruction signals when each of outputs from the +X sensor, ?X sensor, +Y and ?Y sensor is changed by a corresponding predetermined first threshold value or greater within a predetermined time period.

Abstract: A cursor positioning control device is provided. The device includes a cursor movement measuring unit configured to measure a measurement value corresponding to a movement amount of a cursor on a display every certain time, a cursor deceleration determination unit configured to subtract an N-th measurement value from an (N?1)-th measurement value of the cursor movement measuring unit, and configured to determine that the cursor is being decelerated if the subtracted value is greater than a predetermined threshold value, wherein N is a natural number. When the number of successive times that the subtracted value is greater than the predetermined threshold value exceeds a predetermined number of times, the cursor deceleration determination unit generates an instruction signal for at least further decelerating a movement of the cursor than a cursor movement deceleration speed that a user instructs.
