  • Patent number: 7515194
    Abstract: An image pickup optical system includes, in order from the object side, a front unit having at least one reflecting surface with power that is rotationally asymmetrical, an aperture stop, and a rear unit having at least one reflecting surface with power that is rotationally asymmetrical. In this case, F-numbers in two directions perpendicular to each other on a plane perpendicular to the optical axis are different. Decentration takes place in one of the two directions and the F-number in a direction perpendicular to a decentering direction is smaller than that in the decentering direction. When the F-number in the decentering direction is represented by FNY and the F-number in the direction perpendicular to the decentering direction is represented by FNX, the optical system satisfies the following condition: 1.1<FNY/FNX<2.0.

  • Publication number: 20090060309
    Abstract: A radiation image processing apparatus which processes non-spiral projection data obtained by radiation imaging performed by rotating a radiation generator and a two-dimensional radiation detector relative to a subject reconstructs the non-spiral projection data into first volume data subjected to an averaging process in a direction of a rotation axis of the rotation and second volume data not subjected to the averaging process. The radiation image processing apparatus performs planar reconstruction calculation using the first volume data to generate a cross section image in a first plane perpendicular to the direction of the rotation axis and performs planar reconstruction calculation using the second volume data to generate a cross section image in a second plane parallel to the direction of the rotation axis. The resulting cross section images are displayed on a display apparatus.

  • Patent number: 7472039
    Abstract: The system provides a technique for detecting changes in behavior of a computer system. An address data storing unit obtains an address being accessed by a CPU at prescribed sampling intervals, stores address data comprising the address and its acquisition time in an address record table in time series. Then an executed process detector detects the name of the process that was executed when the address data was obtained, and sets the process name for the address data in the address record table. When an analysis request specifying an analysis time period is made, an analyzer counts up each of the process names included in the address data being stored in the address record table for each specified analysis time period, and analyzes the breakdown of executed processes for each analysis time period. Then a display unit displays the analysis result of the analyzer.

[Means for solving the problem] The skeleton that is necessary for expressing a high catalyst activity of optically active titanium salan complex of formulae (1) and (1?) and the substituent that is useful therefor and the position of the substituent are identified, and it is found that optically active epoxy compounds can be produced with a high enantioselectivity and a high chemical yield compared with a case where the prior optically active titanium salan complex is used. The production method comprises subjecting a prochiral compound (formula (4), (5) or (6)) having carbon-carbon double bond in the molecule to asymmetric epoxidation to produce an optically active epoxy compound (formula (7), (8) or (9)).
