  • Publication number: 20240070830
    Abstract: A radiation image processing apparatus for executing image processing on an image obtained by emitting radiation to an object, executes, in order to improve a contrast of the image, processing of extracting a low-frequency component of an input signal of the image to generate a first signal of the image, processing of dividing the input signal of the image by the first signal of the image to generate a second signal of the image, processing of executing non-linear processing on the second signal of the image to generate a third signal of the image, and processing of outputting an output signal of the image obtained by multiplying the input signal of the image by the third signal of the image.

  • Patent number: 11655126
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a diagnostic system includes a conveyor device first and second sensors and a diagnostic device. The conveyor device includes an endless chain having a plurality of rollers coupled at regular pitches and each fit into a bush, to circularly move between a first sprocket and a second sprocket. The first and second sensors diagonally are disposed apart from each other on a moving path of the chain, irrespective of an operating direction of the conveyor device, to detect a passage of each of the rollers of the chain. The diagnostic device measures an amount of elongation of the chain based on a first detection signal output from the first sensor and a second detection signal output from the second sensor according to movement of the chain during operation of the conveyor device.

  • Patent number: 8118344
    Abstract: There is provided a slide door structure of a vehicle which has a slide door to slide in a vehicle longitudinal direction at a side of a vehicle body, comprising a center rail which extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction at the side of the vehicle body so as to guide a roller provided at the slide door, and an expansion preventing bracket which is provided at a front end portion of the center rail so as to connect a pair of guide-face portions which face to each other for preventing an expansion of a center-rail end. Accordingly, the expansion of guide-rail end can be prevented in case the outward load acts on the slide door when the slide door is in the closed state.

  • Publication number: 20110022764
    Abstract: A function for enhancing the operability of a user by strengthening the cooperation of a TV and an external apparatus furthermore by communication is attracting attention. Although various technologies are provided, it is not possible to acquire information such as the state or the type of an apparatus itself by simply connecting the apparatus and to control an AV rack itself. Furthermore, the profile of an electronic apparatus being inserted into the rack and the location of the terminal are limited. The AV rack system of this invention is characterized in that a physical address is allotted to a terminal mounted on an AV rack, and the AV rack is controlled in association with the terminal of a connected electronic apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7520557
    Abstract: A pin having an enlarged head is fixed to a lower end portion of a sliding rear side door. The pin is disposed at a point corresponding to a door slide opening formed in a side sill, and the enlarged head of the pin is goes into a box member incorporated in the side sill through the door slide opening when the sliding rear side door is closed. A lower rail having a downward-opening U-shaped cross section is welded to a top plate portion of the box member. A lower roller unit fixed to the sliding rear side door fits into the lower rail, whereby the lower rail guides the sliding rear side door during opening and closing operation thereof. A vertical wall portion of the box member is welded to a first reinforcement member which passes generally vertically through the side sill.

  • Patent number: 6971706
    Abstract: A side structure of a vehicle in which a rear periphery, formed correspondingly in position to an area where a second window opening area is located, is positioned at the rear side of a second rear periphery formed at the lower side of the first rear periphery. When slide door is fully opened, the longitudinal length between a front periphery and the first rear periphery is larger than the length between the front periphery and the second rear periphery. For a rear periphery of the slide door, when the slide door is fully closed, a lower portion, substantially corresponding in position to the second rear periphery, is located in front of an upper portion, substantially corresponding in position to the first rear periphery.

  • Patent number: 5372401
    Abstract: A sliding roof includes a light transmitting sliding sunroof and a light isolating sliding sunshade disposed beneath the sunroof. The light transmitting sliding sunroof opens a roof opening only while the light isolating sliding sunshade is in its open position. Also, the light isolating sliding sunshade closes the roof opening only while the light transmission sliding sunroof is in its closed position. Damage to the light isolating sliding sunshade, therefore, is prevented.
