Patent number: 11953116Abstract: A valve body has an inflow passage for a working fluid, an outflow passage for the working fluid, and a pressure relief passage, which connects the inflow passage and the outflow passage by bypassing a normally close valve seat. A pressure relief valve is located in the pressure relief passage. The pressure relief valve closes the pressure relief passage, if a pressure of the working fluid in the outflow passage is lower than, is equal to, and is higher by a pressure difference less than a predetermined relief pressure than a pressure of the working fluid in the inflow passage. The pressure relief valve opens the pressure relief passage, if the pressure of the working fluid in the outflow passage is higher by a pressure difference equal to or higher than the relief pressure than a pressure of the working fluid in the inflow passage.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: HAMANAKODENSO CO., LTD.Inventors: Fumiaki Kaneko, Masashi Sugano, Yutaka Sato, Masahiro Hisada

Patent number: 11940520Abstract: For a complex image to be complexly added, appropriate phase correction is executed by a simple method to prevent occurrence of an artifact in a signal region and to reduce noise in a background region. Two or more types of smoothing processing with different smoothing degrees are executed on a phase image of the complex image to obtain two or more types of smoothed phase images having different smoothing degrees. A weight for each of these smoothed phase images is calculated based on a signal value (SNR) of an intensity image, and addition is performed by a weight for each signal value to obtain a smoothed phase image for correction. After a phase of the complex image is corrected using the smoothed phase image, a phase-corrected complex image is complexly added. As a result, phase correction equivalent to phase correction in which a smoothing degree is weakened in the signal region and a smoothing degree is strengthened in the background region is realized.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: FUJIFILM Healthcare CorporationInventors: Ryota Sato, Suguru Yokosawa, Toru Shirai, Kazuho Kamba, Yoshitaka Sato, Masahiro Takizawa
