摘要:
In order to investigate an object, such as a culture of micro-organisms, the image of the object is repeatedly picked up at two different magnifications by a suitable image pick-up device (21, 22, 24). The images at the two different magnifications are then analysed by a suitable picture image recognition device (25, 31) and the results of the repeated analysis are compared, thereby to derive a measurement of the change in the object with time. Thus, for a culture of micro-organisms, the number of cells can be determined at one magnification and the number of microscopic spherical bodies can be determined at another magnification, to obtain a measure of the activity of the culture. Preferably, one or more conditions of the object are then controlled on the basis of the measurement of change.

A method for extracting as knowledge causal relationships between input variables and an output variable of a neural circuit model, said neural circuit model being of a hierarchical structure constructed of an input layer, at least one hidden layer and an output layer and having performed learning a limited number of times by determining weight factors between mutually-connected neuron element models in different layers of the input layer, hidden layer and output layer, wherein with respect to plural routes extending from a neuron element model, corresponding to a particular input variable, of the input layer to a neuron element model, corresponding to a particular output variable, of the output layer by way of the individual neuron element models of the hidden layer, a product of the weight factors for each of the routes is determined, and the products for the plural routes are summed, whereby the sum is employed as a measure for the determination of the causal relationship between the particular input variable and the particular output variable.

This invention provides an apparatus for culturing animal cells, which comprises diagnosis means to make it possible to diagnose by measuring sizes of the cells by means of image processing while a system of culturing the animal cells is cut off from the outside of the apparatus system, control means to control the culture conditions of a culturing cistern on the basis of a result of the diagnosis, and culture medium regenerating means to remove waste contents in a culture medium. In the apparatus of this invention, the culture system and diagnosis system are cut off from the outside of the apparatus system. Therefore, no infection of miscellaneous microorganism, etc., occurs, nor does consumption of valuable cells and products occur. Further, since it is possible to easily obtain data of the proportions of division potential-possessing cells and living cells, the environmental factors to the culturing cistern can be easily and instantly controlled based on the data, and therefore, the culturing efficiency can be enhanced.
