  • Publication number: 20220292779
    Abstract: A meniscus projection plane setting apparatus, a meniscus projection plane setting method, and a meniscus projection plane setting program appropriately set a projection plane when generating a projection image of a meniscus from a three-dimensional image including a knee joint. An image acquisition unit acquires the three-dimensional image of the knee joint. A plane setting unit sets a plane that approximates a joint surface of the knee joint as the projection plane for generating the projection image by projecting the meniscus at the knee joint included in the three-dimensional image.

  • Publication number: 20220287894
    Abstract: It is possible to quickly and efficiently support a user with a limited lower limb motor function in a posture transition with a simplified configuration. A support mechanism that supports a posture transition includes a first link that does not change a posture, a second link that is rotatably coupled to the first link, and an actuator configured to rotate the second link with respect to the first link, in which, when a load on a connection part of the second link and the first link changes due to a change in an upper body posture of a user, based on a relative positional relationship between an ankle joint and a knee joint of the user in a direction orthogonal to a vertical direction in a sagittal plane of the user, the actuator drives the second link while changing a support moment on the user according to a relative positional relationship between the knee joint and an upper body centroid of the user, or a knee joint angle.

  • Publication number: 20220290294
    Abstract: A method includes: forming a titanium nitride base film containing silicon by alternately repeating: precipitation of titanium nitride by alternately and repeatedly supplying a titanium-containing gas, and supplying a nitriding gas to a substrate on which a recess is formed; and precipitation of silicon nitride by alternately and repeatedly supplying a silicon-containing gas, and supplying a nitriding gas to the substrate; and subsequently, forming a tungsten film so as to bury tungsten in the recess in which the titanium nitride base film is formed, by alternately and repeatedly supplying a raw material gas containing a tungsten raw material and a reaction gas reacting with the raw material gas, to the substrate. A supply flow rate of the silicon-containing gas is adjusted so that a content of the silicon in the titanium nitride base film is high on an opening side rather than on an inner side of the recess.
