Abstract: An imaging system includes: an information acquisition unit that acquires movement information about a movement of at least a part of a target; a periodicity estimation unit that estimates periodicity about the movement of at least a part of the target, on the basis of the movement information; and an image acquisition unit that controls a camera for imaging the target on the basis of the periodicity and acquires an image of the target. According to such an imaging system, it is possible to properly image a moving target.

Abstract: An information processing system (10) comprises: a distance acquisition unit (110) that specifies an iris area containing an iris of a target from a visible-light image of the target, and acquires an iris distance that is a distance to the iris area; an iris image acquisition unit (120) that acquires an iris image of the target by changing a focal length according to the iris distance; a score computing unit (130) that calculates a score relating to deviation of a focus in the iris image, based on the iris image; and a correlation update unit (140) that updates correlation between the iris distance and the focal length at a moment of acquisition of the iris image, based on the score. According to such an information processing system, since the correlation is updated with good accuracy, it is possible to acquire the appropriate iris image.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a guide generation unit that generates guide information about capturing a target image on the basis of the target image; a guide output unit that outputs the guide information; and a guide evaluation unit that evaluates the guide information on the basis of the target image captured before and after an output of the guide information. According to the information processing apparatus, the guide information may be properly evaluated.

Abstract: Lectin is extracted from seeds of bitter gourd (also known as balsam pear or Momordica charantia). A blood type checking reagent for checking a blood type includes the lectin. The lectin extracted from seeds of bitter gourd preferably has a molecular weight between 100,000 and 170,000 measured with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in existence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS-PAGE). A method of checking a blood type includes the steps of: extracting lectin from seeds of bitter gourd (also known as balsam pear or Momordica charantia); preparing a blood type checking reagent containing the lectin; and checking a blood type using the blood type checking reagent.

Abstract: A method of identifying a plant species includes the steps of: preparing a fragment of the plant; heating the fragment to obtain lignin from the fragment; gasifying the lignin at a high temperature to obtain components of the lignin; obtaining a flux profile of the components; and determining the species of the plant.
