Abstract: A medical image processing apparatus includes: an obtaining unit configured to obtain a first image that is a motion contrast en-face image of an eye to be examined; and an image quality improving unit configured to generate a second image with at least one of lower noise and higher contrast than the obtained first image using the obtained first image as input data that is input into an image quality improving engine, wherein the image quality improving engine includes a machine learning engine that has been obtained by using training data including a second image with at least one of lower noise and higher contrast than a first image that is a motion contrast en-face image of an eye to be examined.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention provides (i) a method for producing a thermoplastic adhesive product which can be continuously and automatically supplied and (ii) an apparatus for producing the thermoplastic adhesive product. The method includes the steps of: a) extruding a long object through a discharge hole of an extruder, the long object being made of a thermoplastic adhesive and having a string shape or a sheet shape; b) cooling the long object having been thus extruded; and c) collecting the long object having been thus cooled. The production apparatus (100) includes an extruder (101), cooling equipment (102), and a winder (107).

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a thermoplastic adhesive product that can be automatically and continuously supplied to a hot melt tank and that can be produced easily. Provided is a thermoplastic adhesive product which is a long object in the form of a string or a sheet including a thermoplastic adhesive and which is rollable.

Abstract: In application of a foamed hot melt adhesive, a mixing ratio of foam can be selectably and quickly set, and also application of a foamed hot melt adhesive and that of a solid hot melt adhesive can be selectively performed by a single application device. A first gear pump and a second gear pump are driven by drive mechanisms independent from each other. The pressure of a liquid being sent by the pressure in the second compression process is detected, and this causes the speed of the first gear pump and the second gear pump to be sequence-controlled to automatically control the amount of mixing of gas. A gas suction opening is provided between the first gear pump and the second gear pump, and a mixer is provided between the gas suction opening and the second gear pump. The end of a return circuit is set on the downstream side of the first gear pump to prevent foam from returning to the tank side. A restriction valve is installed in a gun to produce a single bubble.
