  • Patent number: 9316750
    Abstract: A radiation image capturing system includes a radiation source and a radiation image detecting device. The radiation image detecting device includes a solid-state detector and a wavelength conversion layer disposed in this order from a radiation incident side. The wavelength conversion layer has a first phosphor layer having first phosphor particles dispersed in a binder, and a second phosphor layer having second phosphor particles dispersed in a binder. The average particle diameter of the second phosphor particles is smaller than that of the first phosphor particles. The first phosphor layer is disposed on the side of the solid-state detector relative to the second phosphor layer, and joined to or pressed against the solid-state detector. The first and second phosphor particles are distributed in the first and second phosphor layers, respectively, such that the weight of the binder per unit thickness is gradually decreased to the side of the solid-state detector.

  • Publication number: 20140312125
    Abstract: A one-dimensional barcode resizing device includes a device obtaining information regarding a structure of a one-dimensional barcode, a device obtaining information regarding a resolution of a display device displaying the one-dimensional barcode, and a device determining a scaling factor of the one-dimensional barcode based on the information regarding the structure of the one-dimensional barcode and the information regarding the resolution of the display device, the scaling factor at which a space width of the one-dimensional barcode is equal to an integral multiple of a width of a display pixel of a display device displaying the one-dimensional barcode, the one-dimensional barcode is within a display area of the display device, and a length of the one-dimensional barcode is equal to a read width of a barcode reader required for reading the one-dimensional barcode or more.

  • Publication number: 20120241627
    Abstract: A radiological image detection apparatus includes: a radiation image conversion panel including: a phosphor having a group of columnar crystals in which crystals of the fluorescent material have grown into columnar shape, the fluorescent material which emits fluorescent light when exposed to radiation and a protective film which covers at least a fluorescent light emission surface of the phosphor, a surface of the protective film being subjected to plasma processing; a sensor panel detecting the fluorescent light emitted from the phosphor; and an adhesive layer which is sandwiched between the protective film and a photodetecting surface of the sensor panel and with which the radiation image conversion panel and the sensor panel are bonded to each other, a thickness of the adhesive layer being in a range of 10 to 40 ?m.
