  • Publication number: 20180168434
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a surgical system, a surgical device, and a surgical method with which startup time can be shortened. Upon receipt of an instruction from a startup execution process, a high-speed startup driver creates a high-speed startup image and writes it to an SSD. The startup execution process is a process that is executed first after an OS is started up, and has the function of executing, in cooperation with the high-speed startup driver, startup of various processes in an endoscope program, creation of a high-speed startup image, and return from the high-speed startup image. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a surgical system provided with an imaging device including an endoscope or a microscope.

  • Publication number: 20180149892
    Abstract: Provided is a liquid crystal display apparatus such that a liquid material for an alignment film can be prevented from entering a region for forming a sealing member so that the peeling of the sealing member caused by the deterioration of adhesion between the sealing member and a substrate can be prevented and a narrow frame can be attained. A display panel includes a rectangular-shaped TFT substrate and CF substrate bonded together with a sealing member formed at a periphery thereof, a liquid crystal layer provided at a region surrounded by the sealing member between the two substrates to form a display region, and an groove and protrusion part provided between the display region and the sealing member having a groove formed along a circumferential direction in a region between the display region and the sealing member, the groove and protrusion part having wave-like shape in a plan view.

The outer cover covers the electric wires and extends from a first atmosphere to a second atmosphere less explosive than the first atmosphere. An outer surface of the outer cover is supported by a partition separating the first atmosphere from the second atmosphere. The first cover includes a thermosetting resin and covers an exposed portion of the electric wires, which is not covered by the outer cover in the second atmosphere. The second cover covers the first cover and includes a material higher in fracture strength than the thermosetting resin.

  • Publication number: 20180044046
    Abstract: A horn and an anvil are moved toward and away from each other by axially reciprocating a driving rod and thereby reciprocatingly rotating a forked lever in a predetermined angle range. The horn and the anvil are moved toward and pressed against each other with a predetermined force with a bag mouth b held therebetween. A sensor detects the position of a second mounting block secured to the rear end of a sliding shaft of the anvil, thereby detecting the distance between respective pressing surfaces of the horn and the anvil, i.e. the thickness m of a portion of the bag mouth held between the pressing surfaces. When the thickness m is not less than a predetermined threshold value M, a vibrator is activated to perform sealing. When the thickness m is less than the threshold value M, no sealing is performed.

  • Patent number: 9340309
    Abstract: To exhaust a holding rail that has been emptied by a simple mechanism after pushing a plurality of spout-equipped bags from the holding rail to a transfer rail. An elongated-shape holding rail 14 aligning and holding many spout-equipped bags W in a straight line is moved to transfer positions c1 to c4 by a rail supply part 80. The conveyed holding rail 14 is held by a retention mechanism 3 in a state of being opposite to a transfer rail 60. A pushing member 52 reciprocates in a longitudinal direction of the holding rail 14 by having a bag conveying face 52b3, which contacts on the spout-equipped bag hung from the holding rail 14 and pushes the spout-equipped bag toward the transfer rail 60, and a rail pushing face 52b2, which contacts on the holding rail 14 and exhausts opposite the transfer rail 60.

  • Patent number: 9340308
    Abstract: A supply apparatus for spout-equipped bags conveys in parallel spout-equipped bags to a multiplex packing machine by changing intervals. An elongated-shape holding rail 14 aligning and holding many spout-equipped bags W in a straight line supplies the spout-equipped bags W to taking-out or removal positions c1a, c1b sequentially in a state where they are disposed at an interval P1 in a front-back direction a1 by an intermittently conveying part 1. An interval change conveying part 2 receives a plurality of holding rails 14 supplied to the taking-out or removal positions c1a, c1b and moves them to a pushing mechanism 4 by changing the interval P1 among the holding rails 14 to an interval P2. The interval change conveying part 2 includes a plurality of conveying members 20, 21 and an interval change mechanism part 23. The interval change mechanism part 23 changes an interval between the conveying members 20, 21 from the interval P1 to the interval P2 while the conveying members 20, 21 are moving.
