Abstract: Provided are a fat lump composition, including a granular material containing an oil and/or fat; and an edible ionically crosslinkable polymer that is crosslinked with a cation, in which b/a is 2.00 or more, in which in at least one of cross sections of the fat lump composition perpendicular to a longitudinal direction, b is a length of a line having a maximum length between two points, and a is a length of a line having a maximum length among lines perpendicular to the line having the maximum length between the two points, a fat lump mixture, a meat alternative, and a method of producing a fat lump composition.

Abstract: An electrode structure includes: a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged separately from each other; and a plurality of dielectric layers laminated in a first direction with respect to the plurality of pixel electrodes, in which the plurality of dielectric layers includes: a first dielectric layer that spreads over the plurality of pixel electrodes in a direction intersecting with the first direction; and a second dielectric layer that includes dielectric material having a refractive index higher than that of the first dielectric layer, sandwiches the first dielectric layer together with the plurality of pixel electrodes, and has a slit at a position overlapping space between pixel electrodes adjacent when viewed from the first direction.

Abstract: An image taking unit takes an image by exposing three color light receivers and an invisible light receiver. The three color light receivers are sensitive to light in an invisible region emitted by an invisible light projector, and concurrently sensitive to the respective three primary colors of light. The invisible light receiver is sensitive to the light in the invisible region emitted by the invisible light projector. A marker pulse generator generates an exposure timing pulse for the image taking unit, and an emission timing pulse for the invisible light projector on the basis of a reference signal. A color image creator creates a color image from outputs from the respective color light receivers. A synchronous detection processor creates a detection image by performing a synchronous detection process on the outputs from the color light receivers and the invisible light receiver by use of the reference signal.

Abstract: An image capture apparatus generates synchronous detection images under different exposure conditions in such a way that each synchronous detection image is obtained by subtracting the output values of an image captured with no light projected from the output values of an image captured with light projected, selects one or more pixels from the rest of the pixels at each position of the two or more synchronous detection images under the different exposure conditions excluding the pixel having the lowest output value, and generates a synchronous detection image by using the selected pixels.

Abstract: An image taking unit takes an image by using a specific light projector which emits specific light in a wavelength region corresponding to one of the three primary colors of light and by exposing light receivers which are sensitive to light in wavelength regions corresponding to the three primary colors of light. A marker pulse generator generates an exposure timing pulse for the image taking unit, and an emission timing pulse for the specific light projector on the basis of a reference signal. A color image creator creates a color image from an image taken by the image taking unit. A synchronous detection processor creates a detection image by performing a synchronous detection process on the image taken by the image taking unit by use of the reference signal.
