Abstract: An X-ray diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes: an X-ray generator configured to emit X-rays; an X-ray detector having a detection surface parallel to a first direction and being movable in the first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and parallel to the detection surface; and processing circuitry configured to set a plurality of imaging ranges touching each other on the basis of reference information, to cause the X-rays to be emitted from the X-ray generator to each of the plurality of imaging ranges while sequentially moving the X-ray detector, and to generate X-ray images respectively corresponding to the plurality of imaging ranges, on the basis of a detection signal resulting from the X-ray detector detecting the X-rays.

Abstract: An x-ray diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes an x-ray tube holder, a supporter, an ultraviolet ray, a contact portion detector, and an irradiation controller. The x-ray tube holder holds an x-ray tube. The supporter movably supports the x-ray tube holder. The ultraviolet ray emitter is disposed to the x-ray tube holder and emits ultraviolet rays. The contact portion detector detects a contact portion touched by a subject of detection, which is at least one of a subject of examination and an examination technician. The irradiation controller controls the support to move the x-ray tube holder to a position corresponding to the contact portion, and controls the ultraviolet ray emitter to emit the ultraviolet rays toward the contact portion.

Abstract: Hollow particles having a shell including at least one layer, wherein the at least one layer contains a vinyl-based resin, and contains a phosphorus atom and/or a sulfur atom.

Abstract: An exposure management system according to an embodiment includes a processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to calculate a deviation index related to a difference between a target exposure index indicating an index of an exposure value that is set as a target of an X-ray image taking process and an image-taking-period exposure index indicating an index of an exposure value observed during the X-ray image taking process. The processing circuitry is configured to control so as to cause a display device to display history information from a predetermined time period indicating at least one selected from between image-taking-period exposure indices and deviation indices.

Abstract: A display processing apparatus has a color correcting unit for performing color correction with respect to display data, a color correction cancelled position setting unit for outputting information (correction cancelled position information) indicative of the position of a part of the display data which does not require the color correction, and a color correction canceling unit for canceling the color correction of the part of the display data color-corrected by the color correcting unit which corresponds to the correction cancelled position information.

Abstract: A transfer request processing portion 10 confirms the kind of requested data and sets, in a transfer mode setting portion 11, a transfer mode for respectively allocating a first data buffer 16 to a first DMAC 12 and a second data buffer 17 to a second DMAC 13 when parallel data transfer is necessary, or a transfer mode for allocating both of the first data buffer 16 and the second data buffer 17 to the first DMAC 12 or the second DMAC 13 that has been started at that time when parallel data transfer is not necessary. The first DMAC 12 and/or the second DMAC 13 performs data transfer by using the data buffer instructed by the transfer mode.

Abstract: The rendering performance of a graphic processor is improved by effectively using a data bus. An externally-input graphics command is stored in a work memory via the data bus. A display data generation section receives a graphics command stored in the work memory via the data bus, decodes the received graphics command, and outputs the display data to the data bus. An image display section receives display data stored in the work memory via the data bus, and displays an image on a display device. A bus control section monitors the status of use of the data bus, and controls the right to use the data bus according to the priority of each data transfer operation.

Abstract: The instruction supply control unit of this invention for appropriately selecting one master to be given a bus use right from a plurality of masters and supplying instructions issued by the selected master to the bus includes an instruction group end detection part for detecting the end of each instruction group composed of a batch of instructions issued by the selected master, and an arbitration part for giving the bus use right to the selected master until the instruction group end detection part detects the end of the instruction group.

Abstract: The data processor for processing operation data stored in a memory connected to an external bus in the order of operations includes: an interface section for holding a parameter required for transfer of the operation data; an operation section receiving the operation data from the interface section for performing predetermined processing; and an operation memory for storing the operation data transferred. The interface section sequentially transfers the operation data from the memory connected to the external bus to the operation memory using the parameter, and sequentially transfers the operation data from the operation memory to the operation section.

Abstract: In a data processor for processing instruction data composed of an advanced instruction part and a part of data to be operated, efficiency of cache memory control is attained. A predecoder predecodes the advanced instruction part of instruction data before the instruction data is processed. A cache memory controller loads instruction codes required for processing into an instruction cache memory from an instruction code memory based on the predecoding results.

Abstract: A method for preparing a sterilized liquid cooking sauce comprises the steps of: (a) mixing ingredients for liquid cooking sauces to form a liquid cooking sauce; (b) transferring the resulting sauce to a tubular sterilization means; (c) heating the sauce in the tubular sterilization means to thus sterilize the sauce; (d) establishing a back pressure within the sterilization means; and (e) packaging the sterilized sauce in containers; wherein the steps (c) to (e) are carried out while maintaining asceptic conditions and the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the sterilization step is equal to 10 kg/cm2 or less. The method permits the preparation of a high quality sterilized liquid cooking sauce which shows small or no reduction of its viscosity and does not cause any color change.
