  • Patent number: 11874177
    Abstract: An image display device generates a temperature information image indicating, by a numerical value, a temperature of each pixel contained in a predetermined area including a position on a thermal image specified by a user, and causes a display to display the temperature information image while a temperature of a pixel corresponding to the position specified is displayed at a center of the temperature information image. The image display device sets a temperature range that has a predetermined temperature width and a center which is a temperature of a pixel corresponding to a position the temperature information image specified by the user, updates the temperature-color conversion information based on the set temperature range, regenerates the thermal image and the temperature information image based on the temperature-color conversion information updated, and causes the display to display the regenerated thermal image and the regenerated temperature information image.

  • Publication number: 20210231502
    Abstract: An infrared camera captures a subject to generate a thermal image thereof. A distance sensor detects distances from an information processing apparatus to points on the subject. A storage device stores a temperature-to-color conversion table indicative of correspondences between temperatures and pixel colors. A control device processes the thermal image based on the conversion table, to display the processed thermal image on a display device. The control device identifies a region of interest within a range of a predetermined distance from a reference point of the subject based on the distances detected by the distance sensor, sets lower and upper limits of a temperature range based on temperatures of points within the region of interest, updates the conversion table based on the lower and upper limits, and regenerates the thermal image based on the updated conversion table, to display the regenerated thermal image on the display device.

  • Patent number: 10793540
    Abstract: The present invention provides an industrially applicable method for production of a fluorine-containing cyclopropane carboxylic acid compound useful as an intermediate for pharmaceutical and agrichemical products. A fluorine-containing cyclopropane monoester is obtained by: forming a fluorine-containing cyclic sulfate with the use of a fluorine-containing diol compound and sulfuryl fluoride (as a cyclic sulfuric esterification step); reacting the fluorine-containing cyclic sulfate with a malonic diester, thereby forming a fluorine-containing cyclopropane diester (as a cyclopropanation step); and hydrolyzing the fluorine-containing cyclopropane diester (as a hydrolysis step).

  • Publication number: 20200225023
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to control the whole of the information processing apparatus, a display unit, an input unit layered on the display unit, a visible light camera configured to acquire a visible image of a subject, and a distance-measuring camera. The processor displays the visible image acquired by the visible light camera on the display unit, detects a user-specified position on the visible image specified by a user via the input unit, and confirms whether each position on the visible image is located on a near side by a predetermined value or more relative to the user-specified position on the basis of information on distance measured by the distance-measuring camera and corrects, when positions located on the near side by the predetermined value or more are present in the predetermined range, the user-specified position to a position located on nearest side out of the positions.

  • Publication number: 20200165653
    Abstract: A method of measuring a fluid secretion function of epithelial cells includes: seeding organoids established from epithelial cells in a culture receptacle and culturing the organoids in a gel in each well of the culture receptacle for a prescribed period of time; capturing a multi-pixel image of each organoid-containing well; detecting as organoids regions in the captured image that are regions surrounded by edges having at least a prescribed difference in pixel intensity value with respect to that of a background; calculating an area inside the edges for the object; selecting whether or not the object is an organoid-derived object; and determining whether or not an object selected as being derived from the organoid is subject to analysis. No cell staining product for staining the organoids is added when performing the imaging process.
