  • Publication number: 20240183801
    Abstract: A nondestructive inspecting device 1 is provided with: a neutron beam emitting unit 10 capable of emitting a neutron beam in a prescribed emission direction D1; a gamma ray detecting unit 20 capable of detecting a gamma ray incident from a prescribed detection direction D2 intersecting the emission direction D1; a device housing 30 which covers the neutron beam emitting unit 10 and the gamma ray detecting unit 20, and in which an opening portion 30a is formed in the emission direction D1 and the detection direction D2; an outer shutter 31 for opening and closing the opening portion 30a of the device housing 30; an external dose monitor 41 for detecting a radiation dose inside the device housing 30; an internal dose monitor 42 for detecting a radiation dose outside the device housing 30; and a control unit 40 for prohibiting opening of the outer shutter 31 if the radiation dose detected by at least either of the dose monitors 41, 42 exceeds a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220224800
    Abstract: An image reading apparatus for reading an image of an original includes an illumination portion for illuminating the original with light, a reflection member including a reflecting surface for reflecting the light from the original; a converting portion for photoelectrically converting the light reflected by the reflection member, and a casing for accommodating the reflection member. The casing is provided with an opening which is open to an outside of the casing. A surface of the reflecting member opposite from the reflecting surface and a portion defining the opening are bonded to each other with an adhesive.

  • Patent number: 10721371
    Abstract: An image reading apparatus includes a substrate, a light guiding member, an image reading portion, and a supporting member. The light guiding member has a first contact surface and a second contact surface. The supporting member has a third contact surface supporting the first contact surface and a fourth contact surface supporting the second contact surface. In a cross section crossing the longitudinal direction, at least one of the first contact surface of the light guiding member and the third contact surface of the supporting member is a curved surface. In the cross section crossing the longitudinal direction, at least one of the second contact surface of the light guiding member and the fourth contact surface of the supporting member is a curved surface.
