  • Patent number: 8546769
    Abstract: A charged particle beam irradiation apparatus includes an accelerator that accelerates the charged particle beam; a first transport line that transports the charged particle beam which is delivered from the accelerator; a plurality of second transport lines that may be provided for each of plurality of irradiation chambers and further transports the charged particle beam to be transported by the first transport line to the respective irradiation chambers; and a line switching unit that may be provided between the first transport line and the second transport lines, wherein the plurality of irradiation chambers may be radially disposed around the line switching unit, the line switching unit has an electromagnet that induces the charged particle beam, and a rotating mechanism that rotates the electromagnet, and the second transport lines of the induction place may be switched by rotating the electromagnet.

  • Patent number: 6975568
    Abstract: A disc has a first area for recording musical data and a second area for recording information (first-area recorded-content information) related to the content of what is recorded in the first area. In each block constituting the second area, a character code of the block and language codes of all blocks are recorded in addition to the first-area recorded-content information. The disc is loaded into a disc player. When a system controller in the disc player reads the first-area recorded-content information from a designated block and displays it, the system controller counts and saves a read count corresponding to the language code of the block. When a new disc is played back, first-area recorded-content information is read from a block having a language code which has the maximum count and displayed in a language corresponding to the language code.
