Publication number: 20190320991Abstract: A controller generates, based on a position of a marker in an X-ray image, an intermediate image in which a device inserted into a subject's body is displayed. After the generation of the intermediate image, the controller matches the marker of the X-ray image with a marker of the intermediate image based on the position of the marker in the X-ray image and a position of a marker in the intermediate image to align the X-ray image and the intermediate image with each other every time the X-ray image is newly generated. The controller then controls the display to display an overlaid image generated by overlaying the X-ray image and the intermediate image aligned with each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2019Publication date: October 24, 2019Inventor: Takanori YOSHIDA

Patent number: 10349907Abstract: The disclosure provides a radiographic imaging device that improves visibility by preventing a phenomenon in which a stent image is inverted in an enlarged displayed video of a stent image that appears in a live image. Specifically, the present disclosure is provided with a trimming unit that performs editing such that, from among two stent markers indicating the position of a stent image that appears in a superimposed frame generated by superimposing source frames that serve as the source of a live image, a specific stent marker is constantly oriented in the same direction on the frame. As a result of using the trimming unit to edit superimposed frames that are continuously generated, a problem seen in the prior art wherein an object to be displayed within video playback is inverted does not occur.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2015Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Shimadzu CorporationInventors: Kazuhiko Tsutsui, Shouta Satou, Keiichi Gotoh, Takanori Yoshida

Patent number: 9279354Abstract: A heating-controller controls an electric power supply from a battery to a urea-water heater based on a voltage of the battery detected by a voltage detector and an engine-state of an internal combustion engine obtained by an engine-state detector. When a voltage of the battery is low or when the internal combustion engine stops, the heating-controller prohibits the electric power supply from the battery to the urea-water heater. A urea-water adding device can avoid an excess decrease of a battery power by intermittently energizing the urea-water heater according to the engine-state of an internal combustion engine and the battery voltage VB.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Takanori Yoshida, Masakazu Toukairin
