Abstract: An interposer includes a housing having a plurality of through-holes penetrating a first surface and a second surface and a signal contact pair composed of a pair of signal contacts. Each of the signal contacts includes a base portion press-fitted in one of the through-holes, a first contact beam extending from the base portion beyond the first surface, and a second contact beam extending from the base portion beyond the second surface. The pair of signal contacts are positioned adjacently to each other widthwise and are each asymmetrical with respect to a width direction. A first minimum spacing between the first contact beams of the pair of signal contacts is narrower than a second minimum spacing between the base portions of the pair of signal contacts. The signal contact pair has a plane-symmetrical shape with respect to the width direction.

The interposer contact has a base portion with shoulder portions and contact arm portions. The base portion is closer to the first wall face. The contact arm portions are once bulged from both respective vertical ends of the base portion toward the first wall face and then curved toward the second wall face. The housing has a retaining protrusion and a pair of slit portions. The retaining protrusion retains the interposer contact inside the contact positioning hole. Each of the shoulder portions is inserted into the slit portion. The slit portion blocks the interposer contact from moving toward the second wall face.

Abstract: When displaying a plurality of images in different conformations in relation to information of a tissue motion typified by a heart wall motion, support information which is used to rapidly and easily visually confirm a relative positional correspondence relationship between an MPR image, a polar mapping image, and a three-dimensional image is generated and displayed. A marker indicative of a desired local position is set and displayed as required. Further, a position corresponding to the set or changed marker may not be present on the MPR image. In such a case, the MPR image always including a position corresponding to the set or changed marker is generated and displayed by automatically adjusting a position of an MPR cross section.

When the function present only in the other device is selected in the function selection screen, the remote connection section remotely connects the other device in which the selected function is present to the operation section of the reference device.

Abstract: The present invention increases noise immunity of an electrical leakage detection circuit. A first comparator COMP1 generates a first comparison signal indicating a comparison result between a voltage corresponding to a detected signal from a zero-phase-sequence current transformer and a predetermined first threshold voltage VTH1. A judgment circuit outputs a judgment signal indicating if there is electrical leakage based on the first comparison signal and outputs a mask signal corresponding to the first comparison signal. A mask circuit generates a latch input signal based on the judgment signal and the mask signal. An output stage comprises a latch circuit which latches a state of the latch input signal when the latch input signal is asserted. The output stage generates a drive signal corresponding to the state of the latch circuit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus has a plurality of image processing functions, executes processing based on an OS as an operation system, and includes an OS memory and a control device. The control device functions as an allocating device, a determination device, and a release device.
