摘要:
An interest degree estimating device, which estimates a degree of interest of a user in a video displayed on a screen, includes: an eye gaze detecting unit for detecting an eye gaze direction of the user; a saliency information obtaining unit for obtaining saliency information on a saliency area having salient attractiveness in the video; and a user response analyzing unit for calculating a correlation between the saliency area specified from the obtained saliency information and the detected eye gaze direction, and estimate the degree of interest of the user in the video, the degree of interest being higher as the calculated correlation is higher.
摘要:
If control periods at sensors are equal to each other, a control terminal transmits control commands intended for the sensors at a time to the sensors at the earliest control timing and the latest control timing among control timings at the sensors. If the control periods are different from each other, the control terminal transmits control commands intended for the sensors at a time to the sensors at the start timing and the end timing of the shortest control period. Further, if reception periods in data reception from a sensor is longer than a control period at the sensor, the control terminal transmits a control command to the sensor in response to data reception from the sensor.
摘要:
The present invention provides a transformant having a gene expression inducing system having better responsiveness. The transformant of the invention has a galactose induction system and retains a coding region having a galactose induction system and encoding an assisting protein assisting transcription activation by a protein having the Gal4 activity under control of a constitutive promoter, and a coding region encoding an endogenous or exogenous desired protein under control of a galactose-inducible promoter.

A sheet holding cassette comprising a box-shaped main body open at its base and closed by a sheet receiving plate pivoted to the main body, means for releasably locking the sheet receiving plate, and means for resiliently locating the uppermost sheet of a stack of sheets charged into the main body at a given position irrespective of change of the number of the sheets.
摘要:
A gaze target determination device includes an event setting unit that generates, for each object at different times, a display event which triggers a movement of the gaze direction of the user who is gazing at the object and which indicates a movement or a change of the object; and a gaze trajectory calculation unit that calculates a gaze trajectory based on the detected user's gaze direction. An eye movement event detection unit detects an event detection time which is a time at which the gaze direction moves according to the display event, based on the calculated gaze trajectory. A synchronization structure analysis unit calculates, for each object, time difference between the event detection time and event occurrence time; and a gaze target determination unit determines the object at which the user is gazing from among the objects, based on the calculated time difference.

Slaves are respectively provided corresponding to electric devices, measure, in real time, power usage states and disposed positions of the electric devices to transmit to a master. The master detects operational states of electric devices on operation based on power usage states received from the slaves, and detects a positional relation between electric devices on operation based on disposed positions of the electric devices. Then, the master estimates the number of residents in the house by determining achievability of operational states of electric devices based on the detected operational states and positional relation of electric devices.

A distance measuring technology capable of stably and accurately performing distance measurement of an object without any highly accurate focus control mechanism is provided. A distance measuring apparatus has a mask for restricting light so as to pass through two or more different light passing positions; a lens system for focusing the light passed through the mask; an image taking-in means for taking in images from the light focused by the lens system; and a distance calculating means for calculating a distance from an imaging element to an object using the taken-in images. The mask restricts the light so as to pass through only specified positions.
摘要:
An anti-inflammatory ophthalmic solution containing (A) 2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)propionic acid or its ophthalmologically acceptable salt and (B) .beta.-cyclodextrin or .gamma.-cyclodextrin. The ophthalmic solution makes easy operations conducted for diseases in ophthalmic region, and is useful for early recovery or reduction of inflammation by pre- and post-operative topical instillation thereof or by intraocular perfusion with a perfusate to which the ophthalmic solution is added, or for treatment of inflammatory eye diseases.
