Abstract: The gas-supply system includes a gas supply device that automatically supplies gas on the basis of the detection result of a pressure sensor that detects the pressure within a body cavity such that the pressure within the body cavity becomes a predetermined pressure, and a gas supply pipe for supplying the gas supplied from the gas supply device into the body cavity. The gas supply pipe is provided with a side face light leakage type optical fiber, and the gas supply pipe functions as a linear light emitter by controlling lighting of an LED according to the supply state of the gas due to the gas supply device and makes the light from the LED incident on the side face light leakage type optical fiber. Therefore, the supply state of the gas supplied into the body cavity may be easily grasped.

Abstract: The endoscope reprocessor includes a basin for receiving an endoscope to be reprocessed, a rack which secures thereto a portion of the endoscope and moves vertically within the basin, a drive unit for vertically moving the rack, a positioning member for adjusting a rack stopping position when the endoscope is to be set on the rack and a drive control unit for controlling the drive unit based on computed results from the positioning member.

Abstract: An endoscope cleaning system of one aspect of the subject matter includes: a first cleaning device configured to clean an endoscope; a second cleaning device configured to clean the endoscope according to a method different from that of the first cleaning device; and a cleaning evaluation device configured to determine whether or not a cleaning level of the endoscope cleaned by one of the first cleaning device and the second cleaning device satisfies a predetermined criterion, wherein one of the first cleaning device and the second cleaning device cleans the endoscope in accordance with a determination result of the cleaning evaluation device.

Abstract: An endoscope cleaner includes a cleaning chamber for containing an endoscope. A vibration plate is disposed in a lower portion of the cleaning chamber. A basket portion is disposed substantially at a center of the vibration plate, for containing small parts removed from the endoscope. A nozzle opening supplies cleaning fluid into the cleaning chamber through the basket portion. Plural ultrasonic vibrators include at least one disposed under the basket portion, for vibrating the vibration plate. Furthermore, a drain port drains the cleaning fluid. A circulation line circulates the cleaning fluid from the cleaning chamber by use of the nozzle opening and the drain port. A disinfectant nozzle ejects disinfectant to disinfect the endoscope and the small parts. The basket portion has an upwards open shape, and prevents the small parts from scattering in vibration. The small parts are plural button parts or cap parts.

Abstract: There is disclosed a film scanner for scanning picture frames on photographic film. A plurality of filmstrips are spliced into a long photographic film web (17) and wound around a reel when placed in a film supply device (42) of the film scanner. The photographic film web is advanced from the supply reel through a film passageway to a film wind-up device (44). The film supply device and the film wind-up device are provided with loop formers (83, 91) for forming loops (17c, 17d) of the photographic film web before and behind a movable film table (52). After a picture frame of the photographic film web is positioned and fixed in a light permeable window (56) of the film table, the film table is moved back and forth along the film passageway. In synchronism with the reciprocating movement of the film table, the film scanner sequentially makes pre-scanning, focusing and fine scanning.

Abstract: A line CCD scanner includes a photo film passageway in which developed photo film is positioned. A light source illuminates an image in the photo film positioned in the photo film passageway. A line CCD reads the image being illuminated. A mask member is secured to the photo film passageway. The image is positioned at the mask member. A mask slit is formed in the mask member, for directing light from the light source toward the photo film. The mask slit has a small width with reference to a predetermined direction. Furthermore, a protrusion portion is disposed on the mask member to extend in the width direction of the photo film, provided with the mask slit formed in a middle thereof, for flexing the photo film in the longitudinal direction to remove flexing in the width direction.

Abstract: A film carrier including a cartridge in a cartridge loading section, wherein a photographic film is wound around a cartridge winding shaft; a base section for processing the photographic film at a predetermined printing position on the photographic film; a transporting mechanism for transporting the photographic film on the base section after the photographic film has been pulled from the spool shaft; and a film accommodating section provided downstream from the base section, with respect to the cartridge loading section, wherein the photographic film is accommodated. A driving-force transmitting mechanism is rotated by a driving mechanism, which includes a rotating shaft provided to be rotatable relative to a spool shaft provided in the film accommodating section for winding the photographic film.

Abstract: A film carrier including a cartridge in a cartridge loading section, wherein a photographic film is wound around a cartridge winding shaft; a base section for processing the photographic film at a predetermined printing position on the photographic film; a transporting mechanism for transporting the photographic film on the base section after the photographic film as been pulled from the cartridge; and a film accommodating section provided downstream from the base section, with respect to the cartridge loading section, where the photographic film is accommodated.

Abstract: A film carrier is constructed in that a cartridge where a photographic film is wound around a winding shaft is loaded in a cartridge loading portion, the photographic film is transported on a base portion by a transporting device while being pulled out of the cartridge. Image frames recorded on the photographic film are successively disposed at a predetermined printing position, and the photographic film is accommodated in a film accommodating portion on the side opposite to the cartridge loading portion.
