Patent number: 10788436Abstract: Ad. X-ray inspection apparatus includes a conveyance unit, an X-ray radiation unit, an X-ray detection, unit, and an image processing unit. The X-ray detection unit has a plurality of direct conversion-type X-ray detection element arrays disposed, side-by-side in rows along a direction intersecting both a conveyance direction in which an object is conveyed by the conveyance unit and a radiation direction in which X-rays are radiated by the X-ray radiation unit The image processing unit has an edge detection unit configured to carry out edge detection processing on an X-ray transmission image to generate an edge detected image, a horizontal direction gradation unit configured to carry out horizontal direction gradation processing on the edge detected image to generate a horizontal direction gradation linage, and a synthesizing unit configured to synthesize the X-ray transmission image and the horizontal direction gradation image to generate a post-processing X-ray transmission image.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2016Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: ISHIDA CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshinori Tarumoto, Kazuhiro Suhara, Osamu Hirose, Atsushi Iwai

Patent number: 10422757Abstract: An X-ray inspection apparatus includes an X-ray irradiation unit that irradiates an article with X-rays, an X-ray detection unit that detects the X-rays transmitted through the article, an inspection unit that generates an X-ray transmission image of the article based on a signal output from the X-ray detection unit and performs inspection of the article based on the X-ray transmission image, and a control unit that controls the X-ray irradiation unit and the X-ray detection unit. The control unit executes a first control of controlling the X-ray irradiation unit such that an irradiation output is increased if a detection output of the X-ray detection unit is decreased when the control unit controls the X-ray irradiation unit such that the irradiation output of the X-ray irradiation unit becomes a first irradiation output. The control unit executes the first control in a state where the article is not irradiated with the X-rays.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2017Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: ISHIDA CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuyuki Sugimoto, Kazuhiro Suhara

Patent number: 6907128Abstract: A noise canceling apparatus (1) comprises an amplifier (10) for amplifying a measured signal (ms) outputted from a measuring device (3), an analog filter (11), an ADC (12), a digital filter (14), a coefficient control section (13), and a data input section (15). The digital filter (14) is a notch filter for attenuating a frequency component of a quantitative signal D(n) outputted from the ADC (12) at a plurality of notches (stop bands). A transfer function of the digital filter (14) is expressed by the product of a plurality of factors each having a root that corresponds to each one of the plurality of notches. The coefficient control section (13) changes a frequency component of a root corresponding to a notch selected from the plurality of notches, and thereafter, expands in a polynomial the transfer function of the reconstructed digital filter (14). On the basis of the polynomial thereby obtained, a new series of filter coefficients is calculated.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2003Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Ishida Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Kimura, Masayoshi Nakajima, Shuuji Murata, Yukio Wakasa, Kazuhiro Suhara
