Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a storage device, an arithmetic processing unit, a first converting device, and a second converting device. The storage device outputs data in accordance with a memory access request. The arithmetic processing unit performs an arithmetic operation on the data. The first converting device converts a memory access request issued by the arithmetic processing unit to a memory access signal and sends to the storage device. The second converting device converts a memory access request issued by the arithmetic processing unit to a memory access signal, acquires the memory access signal sent by the first converting device, and compares the content of a memory access performed by using the converted memory access signal with the content of a memory access performed by using the acquired memory access signal, and determines whether the first converting device has failed.

Abstract: An imaging system includes a first detection sensor configured to detect an imaging target area by the imaging system as a detection target and a second detection sensor configured to detect any portion of a path to the imaging target area as a detection target. The imaging system further includes a processor which performs imaging control by using a condition that a time interval when detection is not performed by the second detection sensor is a predetermined time interval or more and detection is performed by the first detection sensor as an acquisition condition for a captured image of the imaging target area.

Abstract: A colony image inspection device (10) acquires each of captured images of three or more petri dishes in each of which the same type of bacterial colony is cultured to be inspected. Furthermore, the colony image inspection device (10) calculates a similarity among the acquired three or more images. Furthermore, the colony image inspection device (10) selects two images indicating that the similarity is the lowest from among the three or more images. Furthermore, the colony image inspection device (10) outputs the selected two images as images that are arranged side by side.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores a colony inspection program that causes a computer to execute a process. The process includes: acquiring each of captured images of a plurality of petri dishes in each of which bacterial colonies are included; calculating similarity between the plurality of the images; and changing, based on the calculated similarity, whether an alarm is output.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium stores a colony examination program that causes a computer to execute a process. The process includes: obtaining, for each of a plurality of specimens from which colonies of bacteria are cultured, a piece of information used for identifying the specimen; arranging the pieces of information identifying the specimens, based on a time period a product represented by each of the specimens takes to arrive at a shipment delivery destination from a facility that produced the specimen, the time period being indicated in each of the obtained pieces of information identifying the specimens; and displaying the arranged pieces of information identifying the specimens, in a list.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a switch unit configured to connect some of the arithmetic processing devices and some of the storage devices in accordance with connection information, a first control unit being configured to output physical information converted from the logical information of the arithmetic processing device at the transmission destination and the physical information of the corresponding arithmetic processing device via a transfer path in accordance with the correlation information, a second control unit configured to change the connection information in response to occurrence of a failure of some arithmetic processing device in the system, and to control the switch unit such that the failed arithmetic processing device is replaced with another one included in the plural arithmetic processing devices.
