Abstract: Provided is a sputtering target including (Co and Pt) or (Co, Cr, and Pt); SiO2 and/or TiO2; and Co3O4 and/or CoO. A magnetic recording film having a granular structure and high coercivity can be formed by performing sputtering using the aforementioned sputtering target. By producing the sputtering target by sintering a powder of raw materials at 1000° C. or lower, SiO2, TiO2, Co3O4, and CoO can be prevented from being reduced during the sintering to give a more effective sputtering target.

Abstract: A scope of medical treatment as an object of medical treatment is predetermined, and an image for treatment region considered as already completed treatment in the course of medical treatment is acquired. Time up to completion of the whole scope of intended treatment regions is estimated on the basis of the already completed treatment region. Further, any changes of sites under treatment are displayed by color indication. Still further, the time up to completion of medical treatment is determined in a way easy to understand by simulating an image of treatment completion with respect to multiple treatment periods. By virtue of these characteristics, not only can an improvement of medical treatment accuracy be attained but also the total time and exposure for medical treatment can be minimized.

Abstract: The present invention provides a laundry detergent sheet with significant improvements in solubility. That is, the invention provides a sheet of laundry detergent comprising a layer containing a detergent composition and a water-soluble substrate provided on both sides of the layer, wherein said layer comprises a water-soluble or disintegrating-in-water particle group, having an average particle diameter of 60 to 2000 &mgr;m, consisting of a particle group. The water-soluble or disintegrating-in-water particle group means less than 0.025 g of residue on a screen after 0.5 g of the particle group is introduced into 1 L water at 10° C., stirred at a revolution rate of 800 rpm for 10 minutes, and sifted through a screen of 200 mesh size.

Abstract: A plurality of viewpoints are set in a blood vessel included in an original image obtained in such a way that a plurality of CT images are stacked. The viewpoints are manually or automatically set along the blood vessel in the central projection method. Next, a curved surface including the viewpoints (composed of straight lines intersecting the viewpoints) is set. Then, the original image is cut along the curved surface to construct a sectional image of the original image including a sectional image of the blood vessel, and the constructed sectional image is displayed. The displayed sectional image is a longitudinal sectional image of the blood vessel. Therefore, a longitudinal sectional image of an object such as a blood vessel and an intestine cut along a curved surface along the object can be easily constructed.
