  • Patent number: 11944478
    Abstract: An X-ray fluoroscopic imaging apparatus reduces the number of memory switches and performs an auto-positioning for a larger number of rotation positions. The apparatus includes a C-arm 9 supporting the X-ray tube 5 and the X-ray detector 7 face to be rotatable around two axes orthogonal to each other. A rotation position memory storage element 61 stores the rotation position information of the C-arm 9 in correspondence with any of memory switches 55; and a touch panel 43 displays the rotation position information stored in correspondence with selected memory switches 55. The rotation position memory storage element 61 stores a plurality of rotation position information corresponding to the respective memory switches 55, and the touch panel 43 displays any of the plurality of rotation position information stored in correspondence with the memory switches 55 in a predetermined display manner.

  • Patent number: 11628710
    Abstract: A light control system for a windshield can change a visible light transmittance of an upper part and a non-upper part of each of a front windshield, a right side windshield, and a left side windshield. A controller that controls a change includes a mode changing unit that changes a mode depending on whether a vehicle is not in a driving state or in a driving state. When the vehicle is not in a driving state, a change of reducing the visible light transmittance of the upper part and the non-upper part to be lower than a predetermined value is permitted. When the vehicle is in a driving state, a change of reducing the visible light transmittance of the upper part to be lower than the predetermined value is permitted and a change of reducing the visible light transmittance of the non-upper part to be lower than the predetermined value is prohibited.

  • Patent number: 10983324
    Abstract: Provided is a light detecting apparatus including: a phase locked loop portion that generates a sampling clock based on a synchronization signal output from a light source that emits pulsed laser light; an A/D convertor that performs sampling of signal light output from a sample as a result of radiating the laser light thereon in accordance with the sampling clock; and a received-data processing portion that accommodates, every time N items of the sampling data are continuously acquired, the N items of data in a single data sequence. The phase locked loop portion is provided with a clock generating portion that generates a clock that has a frequency that is N times a pulse frequency of the laser light and that is synchronized with a phase of the laser light, and a delay adjusting portion that generates the sampling clock by adjusting a delay amount of the generated clock.
