Abstract: An identification apparatus that keeps the conditions for imaging uniform among successive identifications and requires a user to perform only a series of simple maneuvers. An identification apparatus comprising a guide member, a light source, and an imaging unit. The guide member includes a pattern or a structure that inspires a user to position his/her finger thereon or to approach his/her specific finger region thereto. A contact member such as a button switch is preferably located at a position in the guide member at which a fingertip is to be positioned. An optical opening is formed at a position coincident with a position at which a portion of a finger to be imaged for identification should be placed. The light source radiates near-infrared light through the portion of the finger to be imaged. The imaging means acquires an image of the finger, and the apparatus compares the image to previously registered images.

Abstract: A multi-beam cellular base station is for sending a spread spectrum signal to at least one mobile station, the base station comprising: first antenna for sending a common channel by a common beam that a directional pattern is formed previously; second antenna for sending a dedicated channel by a dedicated beam that a directional pattern is formed for each mobile station; and switching means for switching a sending time section of the common beam and a sending time section of the dedicated beam so that the sending time sections do not overlap within a time slot, the common beam and the dedicated beam are sent by same frequency.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an upper magnet and a lower magnet arranged oppositely and concentrically, a pair of columns installed over the outer part of the upper magnet and the lower magnet in a vertical direction, and a bed having a top plate on which an object to be examined is placed and which is inserted into a measurement space between the upper magnet and the lower magnet, wherein the pair of columns are arranged oppositely with respect to a central axis of the upper magnet and the lower magnet, a cross sectional area of one of the pair of columns is made smaller than that of the other, and a direction of bed insertion is inclined to the side of the column with small cross sectional area with respect to a line perpendicular to a line connecting the centers of the pair of columns and passing through the center of the pair of magnets.

Abstract: A magnetic field measurement apparatus is downsized and excellent in the handling ability by the measurement engineer without imposing the person to be measured on the load or anxiety. The magnetic field measurement apparatus includes a bed part having a stage on which the person to be measured lies on its top face, and a pipe-like magnetic shield room located on a floor in a predetermined positional relationship with the bed part. The bed part includes a measurement department move mechanism part that moves a measurement part disposed on one end side of the stage in the longitudinal direction to a center side of the stage, and a stage move mechanism part that moves the measurement part that has moved to the center side of the stage to an interior of the magnetic shield room together with the stage.

Abstract: In a magnetically shielded room, a cryostat that is filled up with liquid He serving as a coolant and that houses magnetic sensors is installed. A bed for laying down a suspect to be inspected thereon is disposed on a floor surface under the cryostat. After the subject to be inspected is laid down on the bed, the bed is positioned by the inspector. Near the door of the shielded room, an intra-shielded-room operation input device for the inspector to conduct operation on a system control device is provided. A through hole is opened through a part of the wall, and a projector is disposed outside the through hole. An inspection result and so on are projected from the projector onto a wall surface of a partition wall, and used for head positioning and so on.

Abstract: A large thin display unit has a chassis structure with a first horizontally or vertically disposed enclosure, a second vertically extending enclosure mounted to the upper side of the first enclosure, and a third vertically extending enclosure mounted above the first enclosure behind the second enclosure. The second enclosure has an opening that opens toward a front of the unit and has a margin along the perimeter of the opening. The thin display section is fixed to the margin in a vertical position. Further, an air route is formed between the third enclosure and a planar portion of the second enclosure, and an air route is formed between the thin display section and the planar portion of the second enclosure. Also, a wiring space is formed between the thin display section and the planar portion of the second enclosure. Preferably, the thin display section is a large liquid-crystal display provided with a plurality of backlights.
