  • Publication number: 20220369904
    Abstract: An endoscope system that illuminates an object and captures reflected light from the object includes a control processor. The control processor acquires an examination image and determines whether the examination image shows a swallowing state or a non-swallowing state. In addition, the control processor detects a high pixel value region from the examination image and determines that the examination image shows the swallowing state in a case in which an area of the high pixel value region is equal to or greater than a first threshold value. Further, the control processor performs grayscale conversion on the examination image to obtain a grayscale image and performs a binarization process for obtaining the high pixel value region in a case in which a density value of a pixel of the grayscale image is equal to or greater than a second threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20220249858
    Abstract: A magnetic stimulator includes a magnetic core, conductors, and a casing. The magnetic core includes a body portion, and leg parts that protrude in the same direction from the body portion. The conductors are wound in a coil manner respectively around the leg parts. The casing is a container for housing the magnetic core and the conductors. The leg parts of the magnetic core are formed such that cross-sectional areas thereof that are parallel to a plane which simultaneously crosses the leg parts gradually decrease from base parts on the body portion side toward tips.

  • Publication number: 20210244959
    Abstract: A magnetic stimulation device includes: a U-shaped magnetic core including a core body and a pair of legs extending in the same direction from the core body; conductors including a conductor having conductive layers that are wound around the leg and stacked in different levels and a conductor having conductive layers that are wound around the leg and stacked in different levels. The conductive layers are each formed of a wire having a rectangular cross section that is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the legs, and are connected in parallel to the respective legs. Between the legs, the wires of the conductive layers around the leg are respectively connected, at each level, to the wires of the conductive layers around the second leg.

  • Patent number: 10303994
    Abstract: A non-contact data receiving/transmitting body is provided which includes an IC chip, a first antenna to which the IC chip is connected, and a second antenna for use as a booster that resonates with the first antenna in a non-contact manner. The first antenna is a ring-shaped antenna having at least three straight portions. The second antenna has a central portion that is bent such that parts of the central portion extend respectively along the three straight portions of the first antenna and are at an angle equal to or greater than 90° to each other. The IC chip is provided on the three straight portions of the first antenna and is connected to the first antenna at the straight portions.
