The present invention enables analysis work to be performed even if one is not an expert with sufficient underlying knowledge regarding scattering bodies, and makes automating analysis easy. One preferable aspect of the present invention is a device that calculates a spatial parameter distribution indicating a spatial structure of a sample on the basis of a scattering pattern, which is a projection of the spatial structure of the sample to a wave number space and which is obtained as a result of detecting scattering of a particle beam, which interacts with the sample, entering the sample. The device has an interaction estimation unit that performs estimation by associating a point on the spatial parameter distribution of the sample at which there is interaction, during the scattering process, with a signal on the scattering pattern. In addition, the device has a parameter distribution calculation unit that aggregates the estimation results of the interaction estimation unit, and calculates a spatial parameter distribution of the sample matching the aggregated results. In addition, the device has a spatial parameter accuracy improvement calculation unit that improves the spatial parameter distribution estimation accuracy by alternately performing, multiple times, the estimations of the interaction estimation unit and the calculations of the parameter distribution calculation unit. This particle beam measurement results analysis device is characterized by being configured as described above.

The object is aimed to provide a monitoring instrument, an attached condition sensor and a remote monitoring system that are configured to realize remote monitoring relating to safety of an article, wherein a battery-driven monitoring can be performed at all times or at predetermined intervals and for a long term.

The monitoring instrument and remote monitoring system have a means for discriminating only the region of a physical value to be detected in order to make the attached condition sensor used in the monitoring instrument operable at all times or at predetermined intervals and for a long term, thereby making a transmitting function operable only when abnormality is detected and reducing the electric power consumption.
