  • Patent number: 10827988
    Abstract: An X-ray computed-tomography (CT) apparatus according to an embodiment includes an X-ray tube, a detector, a table top, and processing circuitry. The X-ray tube generates an X-ray. The detector detects the X-ray. On the table top, a subject is placed. The processing circuitry controls a moving mechanism to move the table top in a longitudinal direction. The processing circuitry displays information indicating magnitude of a vibration that occurs, when each position in the longitudinal direction on the table top is moved to a position intersecting a path of the X-ray, at the position.

  • Patent number: 10492739
    Abstract: An X-ray CT device according to an embodiment includes a gantry, a top board, and a movement mechanism. The gantry includes an X-ray tube that generates X-rays and a detector that detects the X-rays. The top board inserts the subject into the opening section of the gantry. The movement mechanism moves the top board in a longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the position of the top board in a vertical direction at the position that intersects with the path of the X-rays is changed at substantially the same slope relative to the movement distance of the top board when the top board is moved in the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 8991815
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a separating and taking out device has a feeding base, a takeout part, a support part and an ultrasonic vibrator. The feeding base places a piled stack. The piled stack is composed of a plurality of media stacked in a direction. The taking out part takes out the plurality of media one by one from one end in the direction of the piled stack. The support part has a facing surface opposing a side surface of the piled stack. The ultrasonic vibrator has a vibrating surface opposing the end in the direction of the piled stack and one end in the direction of the support part. The ultrasonic vibrator oscillates the vibrating surface along a line connecting the vibrating surface with a gap between the side surface of the piled stack and the facing surface of the support part.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a checkout apparatus includes a counter, a scanner, a register terminal, and a recognition unit. The counter is embedded at least one weight meter and to be put at least one of target objects. The scanner reads codes attached to the target objects. The register terminal settles payment for the target objects. The recognition unit identifies the target objects by referring to working property category information pieces indicating a category in scan work for the target objects, based on the codes read by the scanner, and obtains signals that represent states each including one of steady work and unsteady work for an operator, based on a time history of a weight of the target objects.
