  • Patent number: 10488534
    Abstract: A portable radiography device includes a housing with a front plate, a back plate, and a sensor panel accommodated therein. Electronic components disposed on the back plate side of the sensor panel are used to read a charge generated by the radiation detection element as a signal value and generate heat when reading the signal value. A heat conduction member is pressed by the back plate and the electronic components resulting in close contact of the heat conduction member with the electronic components and the back plate.

  • Publication number: 20190018151
    Abstract: A portable radiation image capturing apparatus is provided with a sensor panel in which a plurality of radiation detecting elements are arranged two-dimensionally and a case which is formed with a front plate on a side where radiation enters and a back plate on an opposite side. The sensor panel is stored in the case. The portable radiation image capturing apparatus includes the following. An electronic component is provided on the back plate side of the sensor panel and generates heat when charge generated in the radiation detecting element is read out as a signal value. A heat conductive member is provided between the electronic component and the back plate. The heat conductive member is positioned pressed between the back plate and the electronic component in a state in which the heat conductive member is in close contact with the electronic component and the heat conductive member is in close contact with the back plate.

  • Patent number: 9864078
    Abstract: A portable type radiation image capturing apparatus may include a sensor panel which converts irradiated radiation to an electric signal and which obtains image data; and a case which stores the sensor panel and which is formed from material including carbon fiber. A foam body layer may be embedded in the case. The case may be formed so that a thickness of a layer on an outer side than the foam body layer is thicker than a thickness of a layer on an inner side than the foam body layer.

  • Publication number: 20080128197
    Abstract: An electric steering apparatus includes a posture adjusting mechanism having a motor for adjusting tilt and/or telescopic position of a steering mechanism, a speed command unit for outputting a speed command for position adjustment, a motor control unit having a feed-forward control module into which a speed command outputted from the speed command unit is inputted for controlling the motor, and a disturbance load estimation unit for estimating a disturbance load from a deviation between a load torque based on speed information of the electric motor and a command torque based on the speed command. One of the disturbance load estimation value and a command values which is equivalent to the disturbance load estimation value is positively fed back to an output side of the feed-forward control module. A transfer function of the feed-forward control module is set to a transfer function with which a target speed is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6225868
    Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillation circuit for use in a Phase Locked Loop circuit has a plurality of voltage controlled current generating circuits(60A,60B,60C), a current adder(62), and a current controlled oscillation circuit(70). Each of the voltage controlled current generating circuits has a control voltage-output current characteristic different from each other so as to stabilize a control voltage-oscillation frequency gain of the voltage controlled oscillation circuit against manufacturing variation of a voltage-current characteristic or a threshold voltage of transistors comprising said voltage controlled oscillation circuit.

  • Patent number: 5687134
    Abstract: In a synchronous semiconductor memory having a memory section (MS) for memorizing a particular datum, a single output latch circuit (32) is connected to an output side of the memory section and controlled by the use of a pulse signal whether or not the particular datum is passed through the output latch circuit. The pulse signal is produced in a pulse generator (31) to synchronize with an internal clock signal which is produced in an internal clock signal producing arrangement (21 and 22). The pulse signal has a pulse width which is independent of the internal clock signal and determined dependent on a timing when the memory section outputs the particular datum.
