  • Publication number: 20230404500
    Abstract: X-ray images from multiple angles are acquired with a simple configuration. An X-ray imaging device 1 includes an X-ray generation unit 17a, an X-ray detection unit 17b facing the X-ray generation unit with a space therebetween, a support portion 13 that supports the X-ray generation unit and the X-ray detection unit, a strut 10 that stands upright from a placement face and holds the support portion, and a coupling portion 14 that turnably couples the support portion to the strut. The support portion may be bent so that both ends face each other, the X-ray generation unit and the X-ray detection unit may be disposed at both ends, and the coupling portion may rotate about a direction along both ends.

  • Patent number: 11128213
    Abstract: An inverter circuit of an embodiment includes a plurality of semiconductor switching elements constituting a bridge circuit; a transformer connected to the output end of the bridge circuit; an electric current detector that detects whether an electric current carried through at least one of the switching elements exceeds a predetermined value; a pulse generator circuit that transmits a periodic pulse signal; a flip-flop circuit connected to the detector and the pulse generator circuit; a field effect transistor (FET) turned on or off by a signal from the flip-flop circuit; and a gate signal generator circuit connected to the FET and the bridge circuit. The flip-flop circuit inverts an output signal by a detection signal of the detector and interrupts the output of the bridge circuit. The gate signal generator circuit switches the switching element at the diagonal position of the bridge circuit based on a signal from the FET.
