  • Patent number: 10278668
    Abstract: Provided is a mobile X-ray apparatus that is capable of safely charging multiple mobile X-ray apparatuses. A power supply device 10 includes a plug 7; an electrical outlet 8; a battery 12; a control unit 20; a current detector 26; and a power supply circuit 30. The power supply circuit 30 includes a power limiting circuit 40; an external output circuit 50; and a charging circuit 60. The power limiting circuit 40 limits power together with the control unit 20. In the power supply circuit 30, i) if an external output circuit 50 side is current-limited, charging is preferentially performed, and ii) if the charging circuit 60 side is current-limited, power is output preferentially to external equipment. In the power supply circuit 30, the current of one current path is limited, and a large amount of current is allowed to flow preferentially in the other current path.

  • Patent number: 7110487
    Abstract: An x-ray measuring apparatus comprises an x-ray source, an x-ray detector, a rotating device, and a processor. The x-ray source generates x-rays to be emitted to a subject. The x-ray detector detects measurement data regarding the subject. The rotating device changes a relative position of the x-ray source and the x-ray detector with respect to the subject. The x-ray detector is shifted by a distance shorter than half the length of the x-ray detector along a line parallel to the plane of rotation, in a tangential direction of the plane of rotation generated by the x-ray source. The processor obtains projection data by executing a logarithmic converting process for the measurement data, multiplies a value of the projection data by a weight, and obtains reconstructed data therefrom.
