Abstract: The projection diagram generation means 71 generates a projection diagram, which is a diagram obtained by projecting a three-dimensional shape of an object onto a two-dimensional plane along direction of a line of sight of a sensor of an artificial satellite. The pseudo-projection diagram generation means 72 generates a pseudo-projection diagram that represents the projection diagram in a pseudo way, based on a satellite image. The association means 73 associates points in the projection diagram with points in the pseudo-projection diagram. The mapping derivation means 74 derives a mapping that associates the point in the pseudo-projection diagram with points in the three-dimensional shape represented by the three-dimensional data, based on a result of association between the points in the projection diagram and the points in the pseudo-projection diagram.

Abstract: A fertilization design device calculates a fertilization amount of a field to be fertilized and includes the following units. A database reception unit receives one or both of growth data indicating growth potential of the field and soil data indicating plant growth potential of soil in the field and receives position data as position coordinate information for the field. A designated position reception and retrieval unit receives a freely selected position designated by a user and retrieves information of the freely selected position from the position data. A user input fertilization amount value reception unit receives a fertilization amount value freely set by the user for the freely selected position or for a range including the freely selected position. A calibration curve generation unit generates a calibration curve, based on one or both of the growth data and the soil data, the position data, and the fertilization amount value.

Abstract: Disclosed is a container for the thermal analysis of cast iron that enables a reduction in the amount of tellurium used in thermal analysis. By forming a plurality of fine spaces in the interior of a base plate (12) and sidewalls (11), thermal insulating properties are maintained in the base plate (12) and the sidewalls (11) and the temperature of a sample of the cast iron melt placed in the interior of the container (1) is prevented from cooling down. As a result, even if the amount of a sample supplied for thermal analysis is reduced, the speed by which the temperature of the sample drops is suppressed, and a constant temperature is maintained by the heat from the latent heat of solidification. Accordingly, the amount of tellurium used in thermal analysis can be reduced by reducing the amount of the sample supplied for thermal analysis.

Abstract: A deforming method for a deformable mirror having plural electrodes and a reflective membrane which are distorted by static voltages. The Zernike voltage template used to deform a deformable mirror is adapted for aberration correction by calibrating each component template according to the specificity of the mirror. The voltages applied to the electrodes to form a surface profile of the reflective membrane are measured based on the reflection light from the membrane. A certain number of voltage-by-electrode patterns each of which corresponds to a different reference profile of the reflective membrane and specifies each set of a voltage and an electrode to which the voltage is to be applied are stored preliminarily. The reflective membrane is deformed to a desired profile by superposing preliminarily stored voltage-by-electrode patterns. The deformation of the mirror is corrected by calibrating each template according to the operational environment.
