  • Patent number: 11047754
    Abstract: A physical-quantity-measuring device includes: an outer-case including a bottom and a cylindrical body; a synthetic-resin-made inner-case provided inside the outer-case; a detector that detects a physical quantity; a terminal base including a terminal for transmitting a signal from the detector outward; a cover covering an opening of the outer-case and being different in hardness from the inner-case; a cable whose first end is connected to the terminal; and a cylindrical-cable-drawing portion drawing a second end of the cable and projecting from a circumferential surface of the outer-case. The inner case includes: a case threaded-portion; and a terminal-base-setting portion on which the terminal base is set. The detector includes: a bottom connector connected to the bottom; and a joint attachable to a target. The cover includes: a cover body covering the terminal-base-setting portion; and a cover threaded-portion provided to the cover body and screwable with the case threaded-portion.

  • Patent number: 10111625
    Abstract: A position of a target designated based on a tomosynthesis image is identified as a first designated position. The first designated position is virtually projected to a radiation detector from two calibrated-stereotactic tube positions which have been calibrated into a tomosynthesis coordinate system so as to obtain two projection positions. The first designated position is converted into a second designated position in a stereotactic coordinate system based on stereotactic tube positions and the projection positions. A biopsy needle is inserted into a subject to be examined based on the second designated position. The biopsy needle is driven based on a biopsy coordinate system calibrated with respect to the stereotactic coordinate system.

  • Patent number: 9952114
    Abstract: A circuit board including an electronic circuit unit and electronic adjusting units is disposed in a case. A signal transmitting member connected to the circuit board is mounted in a mount hole of a cover member. Operation holes corresponding to a plurality of operable portions of the electronic adjusting units are provided to the cover member. A cap member including a plurality of cap bodies and a connection portion connecting the cap bodies is attached to the cover member to close the operation holes. The operation holes for adjusting the electronic adjusting units are thus covered/uncovered by the simple cap member. The operation holes are reliably waterproofed by the cap member.

  • Patent number: 9581518
    Abstract: A plate-shaped circuit board configured to receive a detection signal from a detector is housed in a case and is held by a holder with a flat substrate surface thereof intersecting with a bottom surface of a cover member. The holder is attached to the cover member. The cover member includes a cover body, and elongated supporting portions projecting from the bottom surface of the cover body into the case. The supporting portions each include a pair of support projections that support one of opposite side surfaces of the circuit board along a projecting direction of the supporting portions. The holder includes a flat portion provided with engagement pieces engageable with a second substrate.

  • Patent number: 8755843
    Abstract: A portable telephone includes key backlight light-emitting units 41, 42 that are provided corresponding to a plurality of operation keys 31, 32 and control unit 5 that instructs key backlight light-emitting units 41, 42 about the colors of the light that is to be emitted. Key backlight light-emitting units 41, 42 respectively include a plurality of light-emitting devices 411, 421 that produce different colors and lighting control units 412, 422 that control the plurality of light-emitting devices 411, 421 in accordance with instructions from control unit 5. Control unit 5 instructs to cause light to be emitted in a specified color to key backlight light-emitting units that correspond to one or a plurality of operation keys and instructs to cause light to be emitted in colors other than the specified color to key backlight light-emitting units other than the key backlight light-emitting units that are lighted in the specified color.

  • Publication number: 20120069951
    Abstract: Provided is a tomographic image displaying method and apparatus capable of displaying a plurality of tomographic images in an easily viewable manner and enabling viewers to immediately understand a region of interest or the like. A predetermined target tomographic image is specified among a plurality of tomographic images, a weighting factor is multiplied to each of the plurality of tomographic images, and the weighted tomographic images are added to thereby generate and display a combined tomographic image. The weighting factor multiplied to the specified target tomographic image is set so as to be larger than the weighting factors multiplied to at least one of the tomographic images other than the target tomographic image.
