Abstract: Provided is an article acquisition system including: an imaging unit configured to image an article; an arm capable of acquiring the article; a control unit configured to determine a shape of the article from image data captured by the imaging unit; and a display unit capable of selecting whether or not to acquire the article. In a case where determination is made to acquire the article imaged by the imaging unit, the control unit displays an arrangement position of the article on the display unit, and displays a screen to which an acquisition position of the article is input, and in a case where the acquisition position is input, the control unit moves the arm toward the arrangement position, and moves the arm in conformity to the acquisition position to acquire the article.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided an organic electroluminescence element including at least an anode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and a cathode in the stated order, the organic electroluminescence element being characterized in that: the hole injection layer contains an arylamine compound represented by the following general formula (1) and an electron acceptor. The organic EL element of the present invention has a high light emission efficiency and an excellent durability, as compared with the related art, while maintaining the existing low drive voltage.

Abstract: A medical data processing method includes the steps of inputting or obtaining image data, temporarily storing the inputted or obtained image data, and automatically deleting the temporarily stored image data in accordance with a predetermined delete condition.

Abstract: A medical data management method comprising the steps of: providing a personal identification information to a portable communication terminal of a patient via a communications channel; and determining whether or not medical data of the patient, received from a communication terminal of a medical institute via the communications channel, can be accepted, based on the personal identification information and a corporate identification information received in association therewith.

Abstract: A medical data processing method includes the steps of inputting or obtaining image data, temporarily storing the inputted or obtained image data, and automatically deleting the temporarily stored image data in accordance with a predetermined delete condition.

Abstract: A medical data sharing method for sharing medical data through a communication network, the method including the steps of entering medical data of a patient and data on a peculiar physical feature read from the patient in a database connected to a data providing side server; requesting the medical data of the patient from a data requesting side terminal to the data providing side server through the communication network, and transmitting the peculiar physical feature data read from the patient; collating, in the server, the physical feature data of the patient transmitted from the terminal with the physical feature data of the patient stored in the database; and transmitting the medical data of the patient stored in the database from the server to the terminal through the communication network in response to the data request from the terminal only when a collation result indicates a match.

Abstract: A fundus measuring apparatus which measures a three-dimensional configuration of a fundus on the basis of stereoscopic images of the fundus. With respect to a left image and a right image of inputted stereoscopic images of the fundus, integration data is obtained by integrating density information concerning at least one direction of its vertical direction and horizontal direction. Parallax information is measured on the basis of differential data obtained-by further differentiating the integral data. The height of each portion of the fundus is determined from left and right images extracted from the stereoscopic images of the fundus on the basis of this parallax information, so as to generate a three-dimensional configuration of the fundus.
