Abstract: An image capturing device includes an imaging device and circuitry. The imaging device captures an image. The circuitry defines a point of interest in the image, converts the defined point of interest in accordance with attitude information of the image capturing device, and cuts out a viewable area from the image. The viewable area includes the converted point of interest.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted temperature controller 100 provided with a compressor 2 having a compression part 2a compressing a refrigerant and a drive motor 2b driving the compression part 2a and using waste heat accompanying driving of the compression part 2a to make the temperature of the refrigerant rise, a blower 61 blowing air to a heater core 145 raised in temperature by receiving heat of the refrigerant and blowing air exchanged in heat with the heater core 145 to the inside of the passenger compartment, and an electronic control unit 51 controlling a current phase of the drive motor 2b to a phase by which a ratio of change of an output of the drive motor 2b to a change of the current phase becomes relatively larger to thereby drive the drive motor 2b by an inefficient drive operation when the blower 61 is in a nondriven state and controlling the current phase to a phase by which a ratio of change of an output of the drive motor 2b to a change of the current phase becomes relatively smaller to thereby drive the

Abstract: To extract and detect Bursaphelenchus xylophilus DNA without isolating Bursaphelenchus xylophilus from a piece of wood taken from a tree belonging to the genus Pinus and the like, provided are a method for extracting Bursaphelenchus xylophilus DNA from a collected piece of wood that includes Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, a LAMP primer set including primers that anneal to a specific region of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus DNA, and a method for detecting Bursaphelenchus xylophilus from a piece of wood by amplifying a DNA by a LAMP method using this primer set.
