Abstract: A vibrating element includes a movable part, a substrate made of metal, a driving source, and a holding member holding the substrate. The substrate includes a pair of support beam parts, a support part, and a torsion beam part. Each of the support beam parts has a first end part and a second end part. The support part supports the first end part. The torsion beam part swingably supports the movable part. The second end part of each of the support beam parts is provided with a fixing part fixed to the holding member. By adjusting an inclination with respect to the holding member, the fixing part is fixed to the holding member in a state in which each of the support beam parts applies tension to the torsion beam part in a direction away from the movable part in a first direction in which the torsion beam part extends.

Abstract: Provided is a vibrating mirror element including: a mirror part; a substrate made of metal, including a pair of beams, a support supporting each of the pair of beams, and a torsion part swingably supporting the mirror part; a driving source generating a plate wave that swings the mirror part; and a vibration suppression part suppressing vibration transmitted to the pair of beams. The vibration suppression part is configured to suppress the vibration transmitted to the pair of beams by abutting against the pair of beams at a position between a second mirror end among ends of the mirror part that is opposite a first mirror end near the support and the torsion part in a first direction in which the pair of beams extends.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a device management apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires information indicating occurrence of a first failure prediction of a first device. The processing circuitry adjusts detection sensitivity of a second failure prediction of a second device relating to the information based on relevance between the first device and the second device. The second device is different from the first device.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasonic probe, a memory, and processing circuitry. The ultrasonic probe includes ultrasonic transducers. The processing circuitry measures first reflected wave signals generated by the ultrasonic probe at a first time point. The processing circuitry stores information concerning the first reflected wave signals in the memory. The processing circuitry measures second reflected wave signals generated by the ultrasonic probe at a second time point. The processing circuitry performs correction to suppress variations between the second reflected wave signals respectively generated by the ultrasonic transducers based on the information concerning the first and second reflected wave signals.

Abstract: A medical information processing apparatus comprises processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains from each of the patients entering a facility, identification information. The processing circuitry extracts when it is discovered that at least one of the patients has contracted a predetermined disease, an action taken in each of positions in the facility by a target patient who has contracted the disease, from action history information recording actions taken in the facility by each of the patients, on the basis of the identification information of the target patient. The processing circuitry calculates with respect to each of the positions in the facility, a first risk value of a risk imposed by the disease on a surrounding environment, on the basis of the actions of the target patient. The processing circuitry generates a risk map indicating the first risk values so as to be kept in association with the positions.

Abstract: A clinical trial matching apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry receives patient information. The processing circuitry retrieves a clinical trial matching the patient from clinical trials based on the patient information, by referring to storage circuitry that stores data for associating a clinical trial in which medication conditions are set with the results of the clinical trial, for the clinical trials. The processing circuitry presents the retrieved clinical trial. The processing circuitry collects, and stores in the storage circuitry, the results obtained by conducting the retrieved clinical trial on the patient and patient's clinical information. The processing circuitry updates the conditions of the retrieved clinical trial based on the clinical information, when there is clinical information that can identify a significant difference in drug efficacy in the collected clinical information.

Abstract: A health management apparatus according to an embodiment is provided with processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire vital data and activity history information of a subject. The processing circuitry is configured to estimate a disease candidate of the subject based on the acquired vital data and the acquired activity history information. The processing circuitry is configured to cause a display, a speaker, or a terminal to output a notification regarding the estimated disease candidate or an interview item for determining a disease of the subject from the disease candidate. The activity history information includes at least information on a temperature of a space around the subject, information on a movement history of the subject, and a history of position information of the subject.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes a storage, a comparison function, and an evaluation function. The storage is provided in an ultrasound probe, and stores, in advance, an initial value of transmitting/receiving sensitivity measured with respect to each channel, of the ultrasound probe. The comparison function compares transmitting/receiving sensitivity newly measured with the initial value. The evaluation function evaluates the degree of the deterioration of the ultrasound probe based on a comparison result and a predetermined threshold value.
