  • Patent number: 10688318
    Abstract: The radiographic imaging apparatus is configured so that an irradiation device is mounted on a rotary drum of a rotary gantry. A pair of X-ray sources is disposed outside the rotary drum and attached to the outer surface of the rotary drum. A pair of FPDs facing the respective X-ray sources is mounted in the irradiation device. When X-rays are irradiated, X-ray intensity information is calculated by a signal processing device based an output signal from each radiation detection element of each FPD, and stored in a memory. Based on FOV information set by an input device, an X-ray intensity acquisition device acquires multiple pieces of X-ray intensity information that are calculated based on the output signals from the radiation detection elements in small FOV areas (or large FOV areas) of the FPDs, which are included in the X-ray intensity information stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 9613635
    Abstract: In order to play waveform data back at a variable performance tempo by using waveform data which complies with a desired reference tempo, the present invention performs a timeline-expansion/contraction control on the waveform data to be played back, according to the relationship between the performance tempo and the reference tempo. The present invention also determines whether to limit the playback of the waveform data according to the relationship between the performance tempo and the reference tempo. In the case that playback is to be limited, the present invention stops playback of the waveform data, or reduces the resolution of playback processing and continues playback of the waveform data. The present invention stops playback of the waveform data when, for example, the relationship between the performance tempo and the reference tempo is a relationship in which the waveform data would be played back at a performance tempo which would cause a processing delay or a deterioration of sound quality.
