  • Patent number: 11953498
    Abstract: An image processing device includes: a processor; and a memory encoded with instructions executed by the processor, including: imaging pluripotent stem cells with time in a culture process and acquiring a plurality of images, extracting a colony region of the cells from the image, extracting a high luminance region on the basis of a group of pixels with larger luminance values than a standard value from among pixels constituting the image, extracting an extraction target region with relatively high contrast in the colony region on the basis of the colony and high luminance regions, and outputting the extraction target region as an extraction result, wherein as a relationship among the colony, high luminance, and extraction target regions, the colony region is formed, the high luminance region is then formed therein, and the extraction target region is then formed in the high luminance region in the culture process of the cells.

  • Publication number: 20170280248
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a loudspeaker with small distortion. In order to achieve the object, a magnetic circuit of the present disclosure includes a yoke having a first facing part and a magnetic part having a second facing part. The magnetic part supplies magnetic force to a magnetic gap. The second facing part faces the first facing part through a magnetic gap. A second upper end of the second facing part is disposed so as to be separated by a first distance from a first upper end of the first facing part. Meanwhile, a second lower end of the second facing part is disposed so as to be separated by a greater distance than the first distance from a first lower end of the first facing part.

  • Publication number: 20170180868
    Abstract: A loudspeaker includes a frame, a diaphragm, a magnetic circuit, a voice coil body, and a cover. The magnetic circuit includes a first surface facing a diaphragm, a second surface opposite to the first surface, a magnetic gap, a through-hole, and a first corner portion. The through-hole penetrates between the first surface and the second surface. The first corner portion has a first radius of curvature, and formed in such a manner as to extend over a section facing the through-hole and at least one of the first surface and the second surface. The cover has a second corner portion having a second radius of curvature larger than the first radius of curvature, and formed so as to cover at least a part of the first corner portion.
