  • Publication number: 20140020935
    Abstract: A flexible circuit board 3a for mounting a light emitting element has base films 31a and 31b, a wiring pattern 32 formed on a surface of the base films 31a and 31b, and the cover films 33a and 33b that covers the base films 31a and 31b and the wiring pattern 32. At least one of the base film and the cover films 33a and 33b have a substrate 331 and 331a comprising a metal. The cover film 33a and 33b have such surface properties as to produce specular reflection or diffuse reflection of light or has substantially white reflecting films 36 and 333 on a surface of the cover film.

  • Patent number: 8428218
    Abstract: A dynamic tumor radiation treatment program for causing a computer to function. The program includes detecting an annihilation gamma ray with a gamma ray detector, storing the threshold of counting rate in a displacement threshold memory, computing the counting rate according to the detection signal of an annihilation gamma ray with a gamma ray counting rate computer, comparing the counting rate of annihilation gamma rays acquired from the gamma ray counting rate computer with the threshold of the counting rate acquired from the displacement threshold storage memory by means of a threshold comparator, judging whether or not the tumor is displaced out of the radiation irradiation spot by means of a tumor position judging unit, and making a control to stop radiation irradiation or outputting a stop command signal by means of an irradiation controller.

  • Patent number: 6307914
    Abstract: A moving body pursuit irradiating device has plural X-ray fluoroscopes for picking up the image of a tumor marker buried in the vicinity of a tumor, and recognition processing sections which execute template matching by a shading normalization mutual correlation method, further calculating three-dimensional coordinates of the tumor marker from the two-dimensional coordinates calculated by the recognition processing sections, and controlling the medical treatment beam of a linac.
