Abstract: Provided is a shopping cart capable of simplifying equipment of a storage area of the shopping cart. A shopping cart allowed to be nested in a front-rear direction, including: a cart body; a battery configured to supply power to an electronic device attached to the cart body and displayed commodity information read by a reading device; a power receiving portion provided on a front side of the cart body and configured to be electrically connectable to an external power supply; and a power transmitting portion provided on a rear surface side of the power receiving portion and configured to supply power to a power receiving portion of another shopping cart nested in the shopping cart. Each of the power receiving portion and the power transmitting portion is provided with a magnet configured for holding a relative position.

Abstract: A radiation inspection apparatus is configured in such a way as to totalize pixels, whose gray levels represented by pixel gray level information, which is outputted from radiation detector, are within a preset gray level range of gray level profile from XL to XH, and to inspect from a result of the totalization whether or not a stockout of object occurs. Thus, the apparatus is enabled to correctly determine an occurrence of a stockout of the object by simple data processing without performing pattern recognition on a radiation perspective image.

Abstract: A radiation inspection apparatus calculates the difference between pixel data of each pixel, which is outputted from radiation detector 3, and pixel data of each of surrounding pixels thereof. Then, the apparatus obtains a total of circumference length of an object to be inspected WA by totalizing the number of pixels, the gray level data obtained by difference processing correspondingly to each of which is within a predetermined gray level range of gray level profile from XL to XH. Thus, the apparatus determines from the value of the total of the circumference length of the object whether or not a crack or a nick occurs in the object.

Abstract: An x-ray CT solid-state detector provided with detector blocks each having a substrate, a photodiode array secured to the substrate and a scintillator array secured to the photodiode array, and with a collimator device having a plurality of collimator plates secured to a support body, and arranged such that transmitted x-rays obtained by irradiating a fan-shape x-ray beam from an x-ray source onto a subject to be tested, are guided to the detector blocks through the collimator device. There is secured, to each substrate, a groove plate having at a predetermined position a groove into which a collimator plate is to be fitted. The scintillator and photodiode arrays are secured to each substrate with a predetermined positional relationship between the scintillator and photodiode arrays and the groove plate maintained. Each detector block and the collimator device are fixed to each other with a collimator plate fitted in the groove of the groove plate.

Abstract: A detector for an x-ray tomography apparatus has a plurality of detection elements arranged near an x-ray incident position in an array transverse to the slice direction. Each detection element is formed with a phosphorescent element for converting an incident radiation beam into light and a photoelectric conversion element for converting light from the phosphorescent element into an electrical signal. The phosphorescent element is shorter in the slice direction than the sensitive region of the photoelectric conversion element such that radiation reaching an edge area of the phosphorescent element can also be detected within a sensitive region of the photoelectric conversion element and generation of virtual and false images can be prevented.
