  • Patent number: 9538977
    Abstract: An X-ray diagnosis apparatus detects X-rays output from an X-ray source and transmitted through a subject, and generates images of the inside of the subject, and comprises a detector, an X-ray intensity distribution data generator, and an entrance dose distribution data generator. The detector detects the intensity of the X-rays output from the X-ray source. The X-ray intensity distribution data generator generates X-ray intensity distribution data showing the X-ray intensity for each of a plurality of subdomains of an X-ray irradiation field from the X-ray source based on the detection outcome by the detector. The entrance dose distribution data generator generates entrance dose distribution data showing the dose of X-rays output from the X-ray source and irradiated onto the subject, based on the X-ray intensity distribution data.

  • Patent number: 9391369
    Abstract: An antenna device that includes coil antennas each having a coil conductor wound around a winding axis and a planar conductor including a surface and an edge end portion, the surface extending along the winding axis of the coil conductor, the edge end portion being adjacent to a coil opening of the coil conductor. A current flowing through the coil conductor induces a current in the planar conductor, this current produces a magnetic flux in a direction normal to the planar conductor, and thus the planar conductor acts as a booster antenna. The antenna device has directivity in the direction normal to the planar conductor because the magnetic flux produced by the coil antennas and that produced by the planar conductor are combined. This enables the antenna device to occupy a small area while achieving a predetermined communication distance.
