Abstract: A CPU acquires a distance image which indicates a distance to an imaging target and is captured by a TOF camera that captures the distance image using, as the imaging target, a mammography apparatus which is an abnormality determination target. In addition, the CPU acquires reference distance image as reference distance information related to a reference value of a distance between the abnormality determination target in a reference state and the TOF camera. Further, the CPU performs determination on an abnormality appearing in an outward appearance of the abnormality determination target on the basis of the distance image and the reference distance image.

Abstract: A CPU acquires a distance image or a visible light image captured by a TOF camera or a visible light camera that has, as an imageable region, a region including an irradiation region which is a space in which a breast of a subject imaged by a mammography apparatus is irradiated with radiation emitted from a radiation source and detects whether or not a foreign object other than an object to be imaged is present in the irradiation region on the basis of the distance image or the visible light image.

Abstract: A CPU acquires a distance image or a visible light image obtained by imaging a marker for measuring an SID as an object to be imaged using a TOF camera or a visible light camera. In addition, the CPU derives a marker distance between the TOF camera or the visible light camera and the marker from an image of a marker region corresponding to the marker in the acquired distance image or visible light image. Further, the CPU derives the SID on the basis of the derived marker distance and information indicating a positional relationship between an acquisition unit and the marker.

Abstract: A main controller of an immunological test apparatus counts an elapsed time TP. An information output unit outputs required determination time information regarding a required determination time so as to be associated with information of a determination result. The required determination time information is at least information indicating that the elapsed time TP exceeds a set time TS at which sensitization processing, in which a chemical solution for sensitizing the coloration state of a reagent that is combined with influenza virus to be colored is spread onto a carrier, is started, that is, information indicating that the sensitization processing has been performed.

Abstract: A clinical laboratory test apparatus of a health care information system includes a reading section that reads an optically readable code array, an extraction section that extracts, from a plurality of the code arrays read by the reading section, a rule that is common between the plurality of code arrays, a storage section that stores the rule extracted by the extraction section, and a determination section that determines authenticity of each of the code arrays read by the reading section based on the rule stored in the storage section. In testing a sample, in a case where it is determined by the determination section that the code array read by the reading section is true, the test is executed, and in a case where it is determined that the code array is false, the execution of the test is suspended.

Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus (1) is disclosed which is provided with multiple systems of utilization-side heat exchangers (20, 30, 40) and in which liquid-side interunit piping lines (53, 54, 55) are combined into a single liquid-side interunit piping line in multiple systems of liquid lines. When the refrigeration apparatus (1) provides space heating of 100% heat recovery without the use of an outdoor heat exchanger (15), the flow of refrigerant in a refrigerant circuit (50) is stabilized even when the temperature of outside air is low, thereby preventing the capacity to provide refrigeration from decreasing.

Abstract: In a refrigerant circuit (20), an air conditioning unit (12), a cold-storage showcase (13), and a freeze-storage showcase (14) are connected in parallel to an outdoor unit (11). When placing an indoor heat exchanger (71) of the air conditioning unit (12) in the thermo-off state, a degree-of-opening control means (101) provides control so that an indoor expansion valve (72) is placed in the fully closed state. Thereafter, the degree-of-opening control means (101) detects the accumulated amount of refrigerant within the indoor heat exchanger (71) and then adjusts the degree of opening of the indoor expansion valve (72) depending on the refrigerant amount detected.

Abstract: A refrigerant circuit (20) includes a low stage compressor (101, 102, 121, 122), a high stage compressor (41, 42, 43), an outdoor heat exchanger (44) and a utilization side heat exchanger (83, 93). During a defrosting operation of the refrigeration system (10), the high stage compressor (41, 42, 43) is driven. Refrigerant discharged from the high stage compressor (41, 42, 43) is pumped into the utilization side heat exchanger (83, 93) to heat frost on it from its inside. Thereafter, the refrigerant evaporates in the outdoor heat exchanger (44), is then compressed by the high stage compressor (41, 42, 43) and is sent again to the utilization side heat exchanger (83, 93).

Abstract: The loss of refrigerant pressure which is caused in a return-side interconnecting piping line (19) comprising return-side interconnecting piping lines respectively extending from outlet ports (24, 34, 44) of single-stage side utilization units (12, 13, 14) to an inlet port (61) of a heat source unit (11) is set such that the lowest valued refrigerant pressure loss is caused by a said return-side interconnecting piping line of the return-side interconnecting piping line (19) that is connected to the lowest of the single-stage side utilization units (12, 13, 14) in compartment preset temperature.

Abstract: A pressure regulating valve (71) is connected to the discharge side of a low stage compressor (55) to make the pressure in the suction side of high stage compressors (11, 12) lower than the pressure in a dome of the low stage compressor (55). Further, an oil return path (72) is connected to the dome of the low stage compressor (55) at one end and to the suction side of the high stage compressors (11, 12) by bypassing the pressure regulating valve (71) at the other end. With this configuration, refrigeration oil accumulated in the dome of the low stage compressor (55) is returned to the high stage compressors (11, 12).

Abstract: A refrigerator circuit (110) and a freezing circuit (30) are connected to an outdoor circuit (40) in parallel in a refrigerant circuit (20), and a freezer circuit (130) and a booster circuit (140) are connected in series in the freezing circuit (30). The booster circuit (140) includes a booster compressor (141) and three-way switching mechanisms (142, 160). During cooling operation of a freezing heat exchanger (131), first operation is performed in the three-way switching mechanisms (142, 160) so that the refrigerant evaporated in the freezing heat exchanger (131) is compressed in the booster compressor (141) and is sucked into a variable capacity compressor (41).
