  • Patent number: 11986270
    Abstract: Provided are an ultrasound imaging apparatus and a surgical operation support system for obtaining position information of a device outside an imaging area and presenting the position information to a user together with an ultrasound image. The surgical operation support system includes the ultrasound imaging apparatus, an ultrasonic source fixed to a therapeutic tool to be inserted into a subject body, a display device for displaying the ultrasound image and the position of the ultrasonic source. The ultrasound imaging apparatus is provided with a position estimator for estimating the position information of the ultrasonic source, and the position estimator analyzes a grating lobe artifact (false image) that is generated by the ultrasonic wave emitted from the ultrasonic source outside the imaging area, to estimate the position information of the ultrasonic source with respect to the imaging area.

  • Patent number: 11929307
    Abstract: A power semiconductor module, which is a semiconductor device, includes a semiconductor element 155 and a lead frame 318 that is disposed to face the semiconductor element 155 and connected to the semiconductor element 155 by a solder material 162. The lead frame 318 has the top surface 331 including a surface facing the semiconductor element 155, and the side surface 334 connected to the peripheral edge portion 333 of the top surface 331 at a predetermined angle with respect to the top surface 331. The top surface of the lead frame 318 includes the solder surface 332 that is in contact with the solder material 162 and the solder resistance surface on which the solder material 162 is less wettable than on the solder surface 332. The solder resistance surface is formed to surround the periphery of the solder surface 332. In this manner, when the semiconductor element and the lead frame are solder-joined in the semiconductor device, the region where the solder wet-spreads is appropriately controlled.
