Abstract

In a visibility information acquisition device, a display control unit displays a first identifier at a first position ahead of a subject and subsequently displays a second identifier at a second position spaced in the front-back direction from the first position, and moves the viewpoint of the subject from the first position to the second position. The display control unit then controls the display state of the second identifier according to the transition condition, and causes the visibility of the second identifier to transition from a reference state to an intended state different from the reference state. The visibility information on the second identifier during transition is acquired by an information acquisition unit. Accordingly, information required to allow generation of a virtual space image that achieves visibility close to that of the appearance of a real space can be acquired at high accuracy when the viewpoint is moved.

Abstract

In a visibility information acquisition device (1), a display control unit (32) displays a first identifier at a first position in front of a subject (S), and then displays a second identifier at a second position, which is spaced from the first position in the front-rear direction, to move the viewpoint of the subject (S) from the first position to the second position. Then, the display control unit (32) controls a display state of the second identifier in accordance with a transition condition to transition the visibility of the second identifier from a reference state to a target state which differs from the reference state, so that visibility information pertaining to the second identifier during the transition is acquired from the subject S by an information acquisition unit (34). Thus, it is possible, when the viewpoint moves, to obtain with high accuracy necessary information for enabling generation of a virtual space image which achieves visibility close to the appearance of a real space.

Provided are: a method for simply producing a tissue construct including a plurality of cell layers; and a method for effectively treating diseases by using the tissue construct. The method for producing a tissue construct comprises: a first preparation step for adding, into a tubular vessel with a bottom part, a suspension of first cells, which are cells among mesenchymal cells and epithelial cells; a first centrifugal step for subjecting the tubular vessel containing the suspension of the first cells to a first centrifugal treatment and forming a first cell layer on the bottom part via centrifugal force; a second preparation step for adding, onto the first cell layer in the tubular vessel, a suspension of second cells, which are the other cells among the mesenchymal cells and the epithelial cells; a second centrifugal step for subjecting the tubular vessel containing the suspension of the second cells to a second centrifugal treatment and forming a second cell layer on the first cell layer via centrifugal force; and a takeout step for taking out a tissue construct containing the first cell layer and the second cell layer from the tubular vessel.

Abstract

Provided is a cell transplanting kit including: a transplant containing a cell group; and a cell transplanting device. The cell transplanting device includes: a needle-like part that extends in a cylindrical shape and that has an opening at a distal-end section of the needle-like part; and a suction part that applies suction to the interior of the needle-like part. The needle-like part is configured so that the transplant can be taken into the interior thereof from the opening by drawing the transplant close thereto by means of the suction and is configured so that, in the state in which the transplant is taken in, the inner diameter of the needle-like part becomes smaller in an intermediate section between the distal end and a proximal end of the needle-like part. The suction part applies a suction pressure of -100 to -0.1 kPa, and the transplant includes a gel-like protective section that covers at least a portion of the cell group, wherein the outer diameter of the transplant is equal to or greater than the minimum value of the inner diameter of the needle-like part and the jelly strength of the protective section is equal to or greater than 100 g.

Abstract

A work vehicle includes: an operation tool that is operated by an operator; and a controller that determines a target flow rate for hydraulic oil fed to a hydraulic device on a basis of the amount of operation of the operation tool. The controller calculates a bleed-off target flow rate on a basis of the flow rate of hydraulic oil fed from a hydraulic oil pump and the target flow rate for hydraulic oil fed to the hydraulic device, calculates a bleed-off throttle differential pressure on a basis of a pressure of hydraulic oil fed from the hydraulic oil pump and a pressure of hydraulic oil in a hydraulic oil tank, calculates a bleed-off target opening area on a basis of the bleed-off target flow rate and the bleed-off throttle differential pressure, and controls a hydraulic oil control valve such that the bleed-off target opening area is achieved.
