Abstract: Specified types of words are extracted from a plurality of radiology reports archived in an archive configured to archive a plurality of radiology reports. The words extracted from a single radiology report are stored in combination. In response to an input operation using an operating part of inputting the specified types of words, combinations including the specified types of words as one part are searched. A list of the specified types of words included as the other part in the searched combinations is generated. In response to an input operation using the operating part of selecting any word from the word list, a list of radiology reports including the inputted word and the selected word is generated. In response to an input operation using the operating part of selecting any report from the radiology report list, the selected radiology report is outputted from the archive to a display.

Abstract: A report generation support system has a storage that previously stores body-area information identifying various areas of a human body, and a display that displays a report generation screen, a medical image, and the body-area information. This report generation support system records a string into a radiology report in response to an operation of inputting the string and, in response to an operation of designating at least one medical image and the body-area information that are displayed, links the designated medical image and body-area information to the radiology report. Consequently, search of previous radiology reports connected to various areas of a human body is facilitated.

Abstract: A hard disk drive includes a base having a bottom plate. A magnetic body is embedded in the bottom plate. The magnetic body is allowed to serve as a magnetic shield in the hard disk drive. The magnetic body is allowed to have a sufficient thickness without requiring an additional space outside the base, since the magnetic body is embedded in the base. The magnetic field directed outside the base can reliably be absorbed at the magnetic body. The magnetic body may be received in a depression defined in the bottom plate. The depression may be formed based on a reduction in the thickness of the bottom plate.

Abstract: A magnetic disk device comprises a magnetic disk in which a data zone is formed. An actuator has a voice coil and a head slider carrying a magnetic head, the actuator being swung to move the magnetic head over the disk between an innermost position of the data zone and an outermost position of the data zone. A magnet has a magnetization center and is opposed to the voice coil so that a voice coil motor which swings the actuator is formed, the magnet having a north pole and a south pole confronting each other via the magnetization center. The magnetic disk device is provided so that a deviation of a center of the voice coil from the magnetization center when the magnetic head is in the innermost position of the data zone is substantially equal to a deviation of the center of the voice coil from the magnetization center when the magnetic head is in the outermost position of the data zone.

Abstract: An illumination optical apparatus successfully realizes mutually different illumination conditions in orthogonal two directions on an illumination objective plane. A magnification-varying optical system for similarly changing the entire size of a secondary multiple light source is arranged in an optical path between a first optical integrator for forming a first multiple light source on the basis of a light beam from a light source and a second optical integrator for forming the second multiple light source having light sources of a larger number on the basis of a light beam from the first multiple light source. The apparatus further comprises an aspect ratio-changing element for changing the aspect ratio of the incoming light beam in order to change the angle of incidence of the incoming light beam into the first optical integrator in a predetermined direction.

Abstract: An illumination optical system for illuminating an illumination area on an illumination surface based on a light from a light source has a wavefront dividing type optical integrator and a light source image enlarging member. The wavefront dividing type optical integrator is arranged in an optical path between the light source and the illumination surface which forms a plurality of light source image. The light source image enlarging member is arranged in an optical path between the light source and the optical integrator at or near a position optically conjugate with the illumination surface. The light source image enlarging member enlarges the light source image. The illumination area has a slot shape with a first dimension and a second dimension which is perpendicular to the first dimension and the light source image enlarging member stretches the light source image along the first direction corresponding to the first dimension.

At least one of the auxiliary optical members is disposed corresponding to one of the unit optical systems.

Abstract: The present invention is aimed at providing a wavefront dividing type optical integrator which can yield a uniform illuminance distribution substantially over the whole illumination field formed thereby even when the size of each micro lens constituting the optical integrator is made smaller so as to set a large number of wavefront divisions. The optical integrator in accordance with the present invention is a wavefront dividing type optical integrator, having a number of micro lenses arranged two-dimensionally, for forming a number of light sources by dividing a wavefront of an incident beam; each micro lens having a rectangular entrance surface and a rectangular exit surface, and satisfying at least one of the following conditions: (d1/2)(D1/2)/(&lgr;·f)≧3.05 (d2/2)(D2/2)/(&lgr;·f)≧3.

Abstract: A method and illumination optical system forms a modified illumination configuration on an optical integrator so that a secondary light source having a desired modified illumination configuration is formed and light loss is minimized. A light beam shape changing element that diffuses illumination in a plurality of directions, and an angular light beam forming element that forms a plurality of light source images operate together to create a modified illumination configuration on the optical integrator. Since the secondary light source has a desired modified illumination configuration, an aperture stop used to restrict the size and/or shape of the secondary light source blocks only a small amount of illumination, or can be eliminated altogether.

Abstract: Electric bipolar tweezers include a pair of elongated portions that extend from a base of the tweezers in a forked manner. An electrode is located on the distal end of each electrode. When a legion is held between the elongated portions, high-frequency current is supplied to the electrodes. A perfusate tube is attached to the tweezers and has an outlet that opens near one electrode. A gas line is connected to an intermediate portion of the perfusate tube. Gas is thus mixed with perfusate in the perfusate tube such that perfusate mist is blown from the outlet of the perfusate tube. The mist blows away perfusate between the electrodes, thus preventing the electrodes from short-circuiting.
