Patent number: 10786227Abstract: The ultrasound examination system automatically detects a lesion, based on a dynamic image including a plurality of frame arrays that are temporally continuous and are output from the ultrasound examination apparatus with an ultrasonic probe being manipulated. Detection accuracy of the ultrasound examination system can be increased. A feature extractor in a frame checker extracts cubic higher-order local autocorrelation features from each frame of a plurality frames that constitute a dynamic image of a human body part as obtained from an ultrasound examination apparatus while an examiner manipulates an ultrasonic probe on the examinee. A final determinator determines that the frame in question is a normal frame when a speed determinator determines that the speed of the ultrasonic probe is not a normal speed even though the frame in question can be determined as an abnormal frame containing a lesion.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2015Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED INDUSTRIAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGYInventors: Hidenori Sakanashi, Hirokazu Nosato, Masaya Iwata, Eiichi Takahashi, Yuudai Yamazaki

Patent number: 10238774Abstract: Provided is a biological implant which exhibits high binding ability to a biological tissue after having been embedded in a living organism, which secures an appropriate strength depending on a site to which the implant is applied, and in which a micropore structural portion is less likely to be removed from a macropore structural portion. The biological implant includes a macropore structural portion which defines macropores of the biological implant, and a micropore structural portion which has micropores therein, the micropores having a pore size smaller than that of the macropores, the biological implant being characterized in that the macropore structural portion has substantially no pores therein; the micropore structural portion is provided on the surface of the macropore structural portion; the macropore structural portion and the micropore structural portion are formed of the same engineering plastic material; and the macropore structural portion is formed of a single material.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2014Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinjiro Kasahara, Masaya Iwata, Takenori Sawamura

Publication number: 20060242686Abstract: The present invention detects a computer virus at high speed from digital data acquired through a network using hardware in virus monitoring. With the invention, in an information processing terminal 002 capable of communicating with other information processing apparatus through a communication network 005, a virus checking apparatus 001 constructed of a hardware circuit is disposed in the side of an input channel of the network 005 and a virus is checked from input data from the network 005 by the virus checking apparatus 001. In order to change a virus pattern collated with the input data by hardware, the hardware circuit is detachably mounted or a rewritable logic device is used in the hardware circuit. The virus pattern of the logic device can be rewritten by sending virus definition information of a server 004 or control data generated based on this information to the virus checking apparatus 001.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2004Publication date: October 26, 2006Inventors: Kenji Toda, Tetsuya Higuchi, Eiichi Takahashi, Masahiro Murakawa, Masaya Iwata
