Patent number: 10485493Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image diagnosis system includes a gantry, a rail, an absorbing member and a carrier unit. The rail is disposed on a floor. The rail cover covers the rail. The absorbing member is formed between the floor and the rail cover. The carrier unit is formed in a bottom of the gantry, and is moved along the rail through a space between the rail and the rail cover, and along with movement, attaches and detaches the rail cover with respect to the floor via the absorbing member.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Canon Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Kohei Aoki, Shigeru Usuda, Yoshihito Abe

Patent number: 10441229Abstract: According to one embodiment, an X-ray CT apparatus includes a gantry, a table on which an object is placed, a bed, and processing circuitry. The gantry is equipped with an X-ray source and an X-ray detector. The bed includes a moving mechanism which is configured to move the table in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction. The processing circuitry performs a main scan and a prescan. The prescan is performed prior to the main scan. The processing circuitry calculates displacement of the table in the vertical direction and also calculates an angle of the table from the horizontal direction using data acquired in the prescan, and controls a position of the table and an angle of the gantry based on the displacement of the table and the angle of the table.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Canon Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Hiroki Osaki, Takahito Watanabe, Shigeru Usuda

Patent number: 6866944Abstract: An automobile fuel container material and container has good workability, corrosion resistance of internal and external surfaces and weldability. Excellent environmental adaptability arises from the material being free from the elution of harmful components such as lead and chromium(VI). The automobile fuel container material includes a steel sheet, 5 to 80 g/m2 zinc plating as a first layer on at least one side of the surface of the steel sheet, 10 g/m2 nickel plating as a second layer, and not more than 5 g/m2 of a post-treatment layer. The post-treatment layer forms by coating partially reduced chromic acid and a reducing organic compound or can be an electrolytic chromate film as a lower layer and a resin as an upper layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2001Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Assignees: Nippon Steel Corporation, Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Makoto Nakazawa, Kenichiroh Matsumura, Ryoh Maruta, Yoshinobu Matsumura, Shigeru Usuda, Mitsuhiko Hirano
