Publication number: 20130274539Abstract: This radiation therapy device controller selects, for a plurality of body motion phases, computed tomography image data obtained which shows a diseased portion, and generates, for each rotation angles of a ray source and a sensor array, a reconstructed image. The control device generates a radiation projection image which shows the diseased portion when the radiation is radiated if the rotation angle is a predetermined rotation angle, compares the reconstructed image of each of the plurality of body motion phases with the radiation projection image, and determines a body motion phase indicated by a reconstructed image in which a difference is small, to be a current respiratory phase. As a result, a position of the diseased portion calculated for the computed tomography image data in the computed tomography image data group of the respiratory phase in advance is identified to be a current position of the diseased portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2011Publication date: October 17, 2013Applicant: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Masahiro Yamada, Yasunobu Suzuki, Kunio Takahashi

Patent number: 8367183Abstract: The breadth and width of a sheet-like filler material before it is placed in a cell of a honeycomb material is set greater than those of the honeycomb material, and after the placement, peripheral edges of the honeycomb material are fringed with filler materials to prevent a filler material from falling out of an end section cell. A liquid adhesive agent is applied to the top of cell walls facing one surface of the honeycomb material, and a surface material is pressed to that surface of the honeycomb material to which the adhesive agent is applied. Then, before the adhesive agent hardens, water-absorbing foam materials are placed in cell spaces by pressing them into the cell spaces from the other surface of the honeycomb material until they are in contact with the adhesive agent. The foam material is quickly adhered to the honeycomb material.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2011Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ShizukaInventors: Kouichi Take, Kunio Takahashi
