Abstract: An anomaly detector includes a writing unit that writes anomaly detection data readable by an external diagnostic device to an external memory when an anomaly is detected in an on-board device. Further, the anomaly detector includes a determination unit that determines whether a failure is occurring in a memory, which is used when a processor is operated during the writing unit performs the writing. Also, the anomaly detector includes a resetting unit that resets the memory by activating a specified one of reset functions of the processor when the determination unit determines that a failure is occurring in the memory. When the determination unit determines that a failure is occurring in the memory, the writing unit writes the anomaly detection data after the memory is reset by the specified one of the reset functions.

Abstract: Provided is a sheet glass production process for properly producing sheet glass having a convex shape in section in a width direction orthogonal to the advancing direction of a glass ribbon. A glass ribbon G2 advancing on molten metal 22 is heated so as to have both edge portions G2B heated more intensely than a central portion G2A in a width direction thereof in an upstream zone of the molten metal bath, and a plurality of rolls 23 are rotated in contact with both edge portions G2B of the glass ribbon G2 such that upstream rolls 23A in an advancing direction F1 have a lower peripheral speed than downstream rolls 23B in the advancing direction.

Abstract: Each of a plurality of slices of medical image data is adaptively processed using a noise reduction mode selected according to a target noise magnitude for all slices to an estimated noise magnitude for the respective slice to obtain consistent processed images for across slices, different size patients' and different reconstruction thickness. Unnecessary noise reduction and over-cleaning images resulting in inconsistent noise-level image data across slices or waxy/unnatural appearing processed images is avoided.

Abstract: A dental coupling member which can easily adjust the position of the lower jaw of the user without increasing the size of the coupling member is provided. The dental coupling member is attached to upper and lower oral appliances to couple them, and regulates displacement of the lower oral appliance to rear side. The dental coupling member has; an outer which is a cylindrical member having a through hole, to be attached to one oral appliance; an inner having a rod-shaped insertion portion to be inserted into an interior of the cylindrical portion and slidably held by the outer, the inner to be attached to the other oral appliance; and a stopper adjustably positioned inside the cylindrical portion, the stopper serve to limit a slide width of the insertion portion inside the cylindrical portion by adjustment of its position along the axial direction of the cylindrical portion.

Abstract: A method of healing an external wound involves applying an external wound-healing agent to an external wound, or bringing the external wound-healing agent applied to a substrate into contact with an external wound, wherein the external wound-healing agent includes, as an active ingredient, at least one compound of a glycerol alkyl ester represented by defined Formula (I) or a diglycerol alkyl ester represented by defined Formula (II). In a further embodiment, the method involves bringing a fiber aggregate or a film into contact with an external wound, wherein the fiber aggregate or the film each includes a thermoplastic resin and at least one compound of the glycerol alkyl ester or the diglycerol alkyl ester.

Abstract: An oral appliance may include a first jaw retainer piece, a second jaw retainer piece, a holding member, and a rod. The holding member may be mounted on a front-facing portion of the first jaw retainer piece, and have an opening for receiving a rod. The rod may have a leading end slidably inserted into the opening of the holding member and a trailing end mounted on a front-facing portion of the second jaw retainer piece. The oral appliance may further include a restrictor that restricts sliding of the rod relative to the holding member.

Abstract: Targeting of a lesion which is performed by a stereoscopic biopsy device or the like is performed simply and highly accurately. Designation of a predetermined position in the stereoscopic image is received to acquire position information when a stereoscopic image is displayed, radiological images of radiographing directions are displayed as two-dimensional images, a mark based on the position information, which is designated in the stereoscopic image, is displayed in the two-dimensional images, designation of a predetermined position in the two-dimensional images is further received to acquire the position information after the mark is displayed.

Abstract: A mouthpiece with which the advancement amount of a lower jaw mouthpiece can be more easily adjusted, without increasing the size of the mouthpiece, is provided. The mouthpiece has: a pair of upper jaw and lower jaw mouthpieces facing each other; a male screw; a female screw; a front holding part provided to one of the mouthpieces, holding the male screw or the female screw; and a rear holding part provided to the other mouthpiece, holding the female screw or the male screw further rearward than the front holding part. The female screw and the male screw position the lower jaw mouthpiece in the front-rear direction with respect to the upper jaw mouthpiece, as a result of the turning of the male screw which is screwed into the female screw at a denture tooth surface or further rearward than the denture tooth surface.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an aluminum circuit board including a step of spraying a heated metal powder containing aluminum particles and/or aluminum alloy particles to a ceramic base material, and of forming a metal layer on a surface of the ceramic base material. A temperature of at least a part of the metal powder is higher than or equal to a softening temperature of the metal powder and lower than or equal to a melting point of the metal powder at a time point of reaching the surface of the ceramic base material.
