  • Patent number: 11806181
    Abstract: A display system includes a hardware processor and a display that has a display screen and presents a display on the display screen on the basis of control exerted by the hardware processor. In a case of causing a thumbnail related to consecutive images sequentially acquired using X-rays at a plurality of different times to be displayed on the display screen, the hardware processor selects, as the thumbnail, an image in accordance with a setting previously determined for the consecutive images. An image other than a leading image of the consecutive images is included in the thumbnail.

  • Patent number: 8013695
    Abstract: A magnetic circuit includes a stationary iron core, a permanent magnet, and an armature, in a circular pattern. A contact mechanism spring separates the armature from the stationary iron core to open the magnetic circuit to switch a contact mechanism to a reset position. A coil on the magnetic circuit generates a magnetic flux in a direction same as that of the permanent magnet when an overload is detected and in an opposite direction when a predetermined time is elapsed after detecting the overload. A reset bar switches a movable stopper between an engaging position and a non-engaging position with the contact mechanism against a biasing force of the contact mechanism spring.
