Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus captures a morphology image and a function image that are captured with respect to an equal imaging region of an object under examination. Processing for deforming the morphology image is performed using a deformation parameter and moving positions of structural objects included in the morphology image to respective positions of structural objects of a previously determined standard morphology. Then, the function image is deformed using a value of the deformation parameter used in deforming the morphology image to cause a position of a region included in the function image to coincide with a position of a corresponding region of the standard morphology or by using the standard morphology in an opposite direction using the value of the deformation parameter to cause a position of a region of the structural object thereof to coincide with a position of a corresponding region included in the function image.

Abstract: Provided is a solvent separation method and a solvent separation apparatus that make it possible to efficiently retrieve the thermal energy possessed by an exhaust atmosphere released in a solvent-removal step to suppress reductions in a temperature of the exhaust atmosphere. In the solvent separation method and the solvent separation apparatus, a vaporized solvent is removed from a gas while heat exchange between the gas within a condensation part and the gas within a dust-collection part is conducted by using a heat exchange part that is placed between the condensation part that introduces the gas into a first direction and the dust-collection part that introduce the gas into a second direction opposite to the first direction the gas discharged from a downstream side of the condensation part.

Abstract: A damping apparatus includes a damping unit 30 composed of a plurality of damping plates 36 having plasticity, a holding member 31 holding at least one ends of the damping plates 36 in a manner to allow deflection of the damping plates 36 with the damping plates 36 laminated together, and a contact member 33 provided at a position spaced from a holding position of the holding member 31, and attached to an outermost one of the damping plates 36, or extending through and held by the damping plates 36 in such a manner that it can be brought into contact with the outermost one of the damping plates 36 and can be moved in an extending direction thereof. The damping unit 30 is supported by a support mechanism 2 in such a manner that the contact member 33 can be brought into contact with an object W.

Abstract: Provided are a solvent separation method, a solvent separation apparatus, and a solvent separation system that make it possible to easily collect a solvent removed from an exhaust atmosphere and that make it possible to easily carry out maintenance of exhaust gas pathways. An impeller placed in a storage space of a casing is rotated to introduce a gas including a volatilized solvent from an inlet of the casing into the storage space, and the volatilized solvent is cooled and devolatilized by a collection face that has been cooled so as to have a surface temperature lower than the temperature of the gas, to thereby separate the solvent from the gas.

Abstract: An inline vacuum processing apparatus includes a deposition unit, a process execution unit, a determination unit, and a control unit. The deposition unit causes one deposition chamber of a first deposition chamber and a second deposition chamber to execute a deposition process. The process execution unit causes the other deposition chamber to execute a process necessary for the deposition process. The determination unit measures the number of substrates processed in one deposition chamber and determines whether all substrates included in a first lot have undergone the deposition process. The control unit switches, based on a determination result from the determination unit, a process to be executed in each of the first deposition chamber and the second deposition chamber.

Abstract: The two ends of an article to be processed which is in the form of a sheet are held by means of a fixed clamp and a movable clamp, the article being held by applying bias by means of a biasing cylinder to the movable clamp in a direction such as would separate it from the fixed clamp and hole-forming processing being performed by means of a laser beam. Since the sheet-like article is held under tension, flatness of even a thin sheet can be maintained and since the underneath space is open, there is no reflection of laser light after passing through the holes that are formed and any processing waste can easily be removed.
