  • Patent number: 10007003
    Abstract: Accurate radioactive surface contamination measurement, regardless of the size of the hand of the subject, is obtained with a radiation monitor having a hand monitoring section including a first detecting unit that may be fixed and a second detecting unit that may be movable arranged opposite one another, an insertion opening connected to an insertion space defined between the units into which the hand is inserted, and a displacing mechanism that displaces the first detecting unit and the second detecting unit relatively to each other into closer proximity upon insertion of the hand. The hand monitoring section detects radioactive rays emitted from radioactive materials attracted to the hand of the subject with one of the palm of the hand or the back of the hand being made to face the fixed detecting unit side and the other being made to face the movable detecting unit side.

  • Patent number: 7601281
    Abstract: A flowable insulating resin 1 is placed in a sheet-like molding die space and conductive magnetic particles 2 are dispersed in the insulating resin 1. A first magnetic field G1 is acted in the sheet thickness direction on the position where a conductive path is to be formed in the die space, and conductive magnetic particles 2a are locally collected together to form a conductive path. Simultaneously, a second magnetic field G2 is acted in the sheet thickness direction on the intermediate region and the magnetic field G2 is moved in the lateral direction to move conductive magnetic particles 2b left in the intermediate region to join the collection forming the conductive path. As a result, the number of the conductive magnetic particles left in the insulating resin becomes smaller.

  • Patent number: 6346936
    Abstract: In order to remove high-frequency components contained in video signals and high-frequency components occurring in a processing stage of the video signals, a method of filtering the video signals has a problem that it has a strong side reaction that sharpness is greatly deteriorated and it is liable to suffer an effect of dispersion of elements when the filter comprises an analog circuit, and thus the problem of the present invention to be solved is to effectively remove the high-frequency components.
