Abstract: Provided is an X-ray CT apparatus capable of suppressing an entry of foreign matter into an inside of a bearing without incurring a cost. The X-ray CT apparatus of an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixed frame, a rotation frame, and a bearing, in which the bearing includes an outer ring connected to the fixed frame and an inner ring connected to the rotation frame, and the fixed frame includes a seal portion that seals the bearing.

Abstract: An object is to provide an X-ray CT apparatus capable of improving workability of maintenance. An X-ray CT apparatus includes a plurality of components including an X-ray source and an X-ray detector; a rotation frame on which the plurality of components are mounted and which rotates; and a support frame that rotatably supports the rotation frame, in which the support frame includes one or more lock mechanisms including a fixing shaft and a support member that movably supports the fixing shaft, the support frame includes one or more lock fixing units engageable with the fixing shaft, and the lock mechanism switches between a locked state in which rotation of the rotation frame is restricted and an unlocked state in which the rotation of the rotation frame is allowed.

Abstract: A visual simulator designs a spectacle lens based on acquired lens design data. Original image data representing an image viewed through the lens and frame data including shape data and layout information of a spectacle frame to which the spectacle lens is fitted are acquired. Image data is generated from the original image data and frame data and displayed on a screen. In an entire display mode, a visual field based on the shape data is entirely displayed on the screen. In a partial display mode, a part of the visual field determined by a distance from the spectacle wearer to the screen and a dimension of the screen is displayed.

Abstract: A visual simulator for a spectacle lens including: a lens design data acquirer that acquires lens design data on design items of a spectacle lens including a prescription for a spectacle wearer's naked eye; a lens designer that designs the spectacle lens based on the lens design data; an original image data acquirer that acquires an original image data for the simulation; an image processor that processes the original image data acquired by the original image data acquirer and generates image data representing an image viewed through a lens processed based on the frame data; a display that comprises a screen that displays the image based on the image data generated by the image processor; a partial enlargement information acquirer that acquires partial enlargement information of a visual field, the partial enlargement information including a distance from a spectacle lens wearer to the screen of the display and a dimension of the screen, wherein a processing mode of the image processor includes: an entire dis

Abstract: A graphics system improves the efficiency in measurement operations of three-dimensional objects by enabling a user to easily and accurately specify the measurement point of the three-dimensional objects on a screen. A user can obtain the display of horizontal and vertical distances between surfaces of three-dimensional objects by specifying a point on the screen displaying the sectioned three-dimensional objects. Also, the graphics system can display three-dimensional objects whose parts are readily distinguishable by color from each other.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition prepared by fermenting enzymatically-deactivated garlic with Aspergillus and/or Monascus, to a process for preparing the same, and also to foods and drugs containing the same. The composition is free from any unpleasant odor and is useful as a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for diabetes, hepatic diseases, cancer, immunopathy, hyperlipemia, and the like.

Abstract: The present invention provides dihydropyridine derivatives represented by the following formula (I) ##STR1## and salts thereof. They have extremely strong, slow and long-acting vasodilating action and antihypertensive action with less adverse effects so that they are useful as therapeutic agents for cardiovascular diseases.
