Publication number: 20240122577Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasonic probe and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry causes the ultrasonic probe to perform a first scan and second scan in a same scan sequence, wherein the first scan is for calculating a first index value based on a displacement of tissue by a shear wave that propagates through a living body, the second scan for calculating a second index value indicating an attenuation of a reflected wave signal of an ultrasonic wave applied into the living body. The processing circuitry generates a first image based on the first index value, and generates a second image based on the second index value. The processing circuitry causes a display to simultaneously display the first image and the second image.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Canon Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Masaki WATANABE, Yasunori HONJO

Patent number: 11161290Abstract: The present invention prevents internal cracks occurring when an impeller molded using a fiber reinforced resin is manufactured by injection molding. This method for manufacturing an impeller is provided with: an injection step of filling a cavity with a molten resin containing reinforced fibers, from a gate side into which the molten resin flows, toward an opposite-gate side opposite to the gate side; and a dwell step of applying required pressure to the filled molten resin. In the injection step and the dwell step, directional cooling is performed with a temperature gradient such that the temperature becomes lower from the gate side toward the opposite-gate side. According to this method for manufacturing the impeller, the opposite-gate side shrinks with a decrease in the temperature of the molten resin since the temperature of the opposite-gate side is lower.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2015Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Ryoji Okabe, Yasunori Watanabe, Kosuke Ikeda
