  • Publication number: 20150266629
    Abstract: A cork stopper is coated by a resin coating layer, having a columnar cork stopper body constituted with a molded cork body, and a resin coating layer covering an outer surface of the cork stopper body. The resin coating layer has a resin adhesion layer directly adhered onto the outer surface of the cork stopper body, and a resin layer adhered onto the outer surface of the cork stopper body with the resin adhesion layer interposed therebetween, and the resin coating layer on a circumferential face of the cork stopper body has a layer thickness from 100 to 240 ?m.

  • Patent number: 8792612
    Abstract: A radiation imaging system includes a radiation sensor unit and a main control unit. The radiation sensor unit includes, a radiation sensor that detects a radiation image based on radiation that passes through an object, a sensor characteristics correction unit that performs sensor characteristics correction on the radiation image based on image reception characteristics of the radiation sensor, an image analysis unit that analyzes the radiation image in which the sensor characteristics correction has been performed and calculates an analysis parameter, and a transmission unit that transmits the analysis parameter as a gradation conversion parameter and the radiation image which has been subjected to the sensor characteristics correction to the main control unit. The main control unit includes a gradation conversion processing unit that performs gradation conversion processing on the radiation image which has been subjected to the sensor characteristics correction using the gradation conversion parameter.

  • Patent number: 8618494
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus configured to output an imaging enabling signal in response to an imaging instruction includes an imaging unit, a control unit configured to cause the imaging unit to repeatedly perform initialization driving for reading an accumulated electrical signal, and a determination unit configured to determine whether to start new initialization driving before the imaging enabling signal is output, according to an elapsed time from completion of the last initialization driving to the time of receipt of the imaging instruction.
