  • Patent number: 9978234
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a housing of a radiation detection cassette that can appropriately form a recess without a housing material depositing on an end mill or the like, in a case where a recess is formed by working the housing material formed of an alloy containing Mg and Li. A method for manufacturing a housing of a radiation detection cassette that houses a radiation detector in the housing includes preparing a housing material that is formed of an alloy containing Mg and Li and contains 0.1 mass % or more of Li, forming a recess using a working method other than cutting work on a surface of the housing material, and performing cutting work on the formed recess to shape the recess.

  • Publication number: 20180136345
    Abstract: A radiographic image capturing apparatus includes: a radiation detector in which a plurality of pixels for accumulating electric charges corresponding to emitted radiation are arranged in a two-dimensional manner; a control unit that controls the radiation detector; a radiation emission unit that emits radiation; a changing unit that integrally changes angles of the radiation detector and the control unit with respect to a predetermined direction; a heat sink in which a guiding unit for guiding an air flow in a predetermined guiding direction is provided and which dissipates heat of the control unit; and a housing unit in which the radiation detector, the control unit, and the heat sink are housed and which has a radiation detection surface irradiated with the radiation emitted from the radiation emission unit.

  • Publication number: 20170367666
    Abstract: Provided is a radiation detection cassette that can suppress an artifact resulting from scattered radiation generated within a housing and can further achieve weight reduction and improvement in corrosion resistance. The radiation detection cassette includes a radiation detector that detects radiation, and a housing that houses the radiation detector. A back housing part of the housing opposite to a radiation exposure side is formed of an alloy containing Mg and Li and containing 0.1 mass % or more of Li. A protective film is provided in a portion or all of an outer surface of the back housing part.

  • Patent number: 9700271
    Abstract: A portable radiographic image capturing apparatus includes a casing having a front face including a top plate and a rear face. The rear face is fitted in the front face such that second sides of the rear face are disposed inside of first sides of the front face. Water-resistant members are disposed in corner portions that are formed in the front face. The second sides have ridges for pressing and elastically deforming the water-resistant members toward the top plate. The ridges have slanted outer side surfaces.

  • Patent number: 8529128
    Abstract: A judging section judges whether the operating portion provided on a device is being operated. A correcting section performs correction such that the values of signals S that indicate the intensities and directions of external forces applied to the operating portion, which are output from a detecting section while it is judged that the operating portion is not being operated, are included in a dead zone range with respect to control of a movement assisting section that assists manual movement of the device by urging the device. A control section controls the movement assisting section to assist movement in the directions of the external forces indicated by the signals output by the detecting section, and to not perform movement assistance in the case that the signal values are included in the dead zone range.

  • Publication number: 20110253570
    Abstract: A radiographic cassette is provided with a slip-property changing mechanism for changing slip properties of a bottom side of a housing of the cassette housing. The slip-property changing mechanism includes a foot mounted movable between a retracted position inside the housing and a protruded position where a distal end of the foot protrude outward from the bottom side. A rubber is attached to an end face of the distal end of the foot, lowering surface smoothness of the bottom side in the protruded position.
