Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic device is provided in an examination room, and a remote device is provided in another room. The remote device has a conversion unit that converts advice (voice) from an advisor into a character string. Data indicating the character string are transmitted from the remote device to the ultrasonic diagnostic device. The character string is displayed on a display device of the ultrasonic diagnostic device. An advisor image is also displayed on the display device.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes a wireless communication unit and a control unit. The wireless communication unit is connected to a communication line via a wireless relay device, communicates with an information terminal via the communication line, and transmits ultrasonic image information to the information terminal. The control unit selects a shared group ID, which is one of a plurality of registered group IDs registered in advance, according to an operation of a user. The control unit, together with the wireless communication unit, transmits the shared group ID to the wireless relay device. The wireless relay device receives an affiliated group ID from the information terminal to establish wireless communication with the information terminal for which the affiliated group ID matching the shared group ID is received.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes: a wireless communication unit connected to a communication line via a wireless relay device and configured to communicate with an information terminal via the communication line; and a control unit configured to control the wireless communication unit. The control unit reads a patient ID for specifying a patient, and transmits, together with the wireless communication unit, the patient ID to the wireless relay device. The wireless relay device receives a collation signal from the information terminal, and establishes wireless communication with the information terminal when the collation signal includes the patient ID. The control unit executes, together with the wireless communication unit, image transmission processing of transmitting ultrasonic image information, via the communication line, to the information terminal when the patient ID is in the collation signal transmitted from the information terminal to the wireless relay device.

Abstract: A display frame data array is transferred from an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus to a diagnosis assisting server. The display frame data array is analyzed in the diagnosis assisting server, and a diagnosis assisting data array is generated. The diagnosis assisting data array is transferred from the diagnosis assisting server to the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus. A display processing unit combines the display frame data array and the diagnosis assisting data array while synchronizing the data arrays.

Abstract: An information processing unit included in an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus executes image transfer processing and display processing below. The image transfer processing is processing of successively transferring ultrasonic image data successively generated as time elapses, to an external processing apparatus. The display processing is processing of successively receiving as time elapses externally processed image data transmitted from the external processing apparatus, and causing a display apparatus to display a real-time image in accordance with the externally processed image data. The information processing unit acquires a processing burden value (information indicating a processing ability) of the external processing apparatus from the external processing apparatus, and sets a transfer rate in the image transfer processing in accordance with the processing ability.

Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus is provided with a control unit that transmits to an information processing apparatus ultrasonic diagnostic data generated by transmission and reception of ultrasound, and acquires from the information processing apparatus external processing data in which the ultrasonic diagnostic data have been subjected to processing. The control unit executes a diagnostic apparatus interface program as an interface program common to a plurality of applications installed to the information processing apparatus, and constructs a diagnostic apparatus interface. The diagnostic apparatus interface performs, when the information processing apparatus is caused to execute an execution application that is one of the plurality of the applications, transmission of the ultrasonic diagnostic data and reception of the external processing data with respect to the execution application.

Abstract: A light control film includes a light control layer containing a material in which transmittance of electromagnetic waves changes when a voltage is applied, a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer that are respectively stacked on both sides of the light control layer and are configured such that the voltage is applicable to the light control layer, a substantially transparent first base material layer that is stacked on a side of the first electrode layer opposite to the light control layer and supports the first electrode layer, and a substantially transparent second base material layer that is stacked on a side of the second electrode layer opposite to the light control layer and supports the second electrode layer. At least one of the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer is a conductive DLC layer.

Abstract: When a basic mode is selected, a basic processing block in an ultrasound diagnostic apparatus operates in real time, to generate a first display image array, and the first display image array is displayed on a display. When an extended mode is selected, necessary information is transferred from the ultrasound diagnostic apparatus to an external information processing apparatus, and an extended processing block in the external information processing apparatus operates in real time, to generate a second display image array. The second display image array is displayed on the display.

Abstract: The present invention provides an internal combustion engine including an injection nozzle for injecting fuel. The injection nozzle is formed with a plurality of injection holes arranged in two rows concentrically relative to the center axis (L) of the injection nozzle. The injection holes in the upper row are arranged in a zigzag fashion relative to those in the lower row. Radially extending center axes (P) of the respective injection holes in the upper row are arranged on the periphery of a circle of which center is located at a position (O) on the center axis (L) of the injection nozzle, while radially extending center axes (P) of the respective injection holes in the lower row are arranged on the periphery of a circle of which center is located at a position (O) on the center axis (L) of the injection nozzle. The position (O) is spaced away from the position (O) by a predetermined distance (Z).
