  • Publication number: 20150074820
    Abstract: A security enhancement apparatus is provided which is capable of preventing infection by malware that requires writing of important files of the OS or system, by protecting the important files from writing if data protection is implemented in units of files. The security enhancement apparatus relays IO of a PC, control device, or the like. A hard disk, USB device, display, or the like is connected via the security enhance apparatus. As for data protection in a storage, data is handled not only in units of sectors but also in units of files. The apparatus directly performs secure data transfer or display, setting/input therefor, or the like, thereby being able to correctly make an alert or inquiry to the user even in the case where a vulnerability of the OS or application program is attacked and control of the PC or control device is taken by an unauthorized program. Also, during communication, the security enhancement apparatus can authenticate a communication-partner device and encrypt communication content.

  • Patent number: 7601385
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a radiation image conversion panel exhibiting excellent properties in luminance and sharpness, and a preparation method thereof. Provided also is a drastically increased amount of stimulated luminescence of a post-manufacture radiation image conversion panel. Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a radiation image conversion panel in which a stimulable phosphor layer having a thickness of not less than 50 ?m is formed on a support vapor deposition and then is heat-treated, wherein a ratio of transmittance T/T0 (T represents transmittance after heat-treating, and T0 before heat-treating) at a stimulated luminescence wavelength of the stimulable phosphor is 0.5?T/T0?10. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing a radiation image conversion panel via conducting a process of soaking in a halogenated solvent, as well as a process of heating a phosphor panel possessing a stimulable phosphor layer.
