  • Patent number: 11581690
    Abstract: A robot apparatus includes a clamp mechanism; a transport mechanism; and a control unit. The clamp mechanism includes a first finger that has a first support surface and a housing portion and a second finger. The first support surface supports an aligned wire group that includes a plurality of wires, the housing portion includes a guide wall that is connected to the first support surface and regulates an amount of movement of the band member in a width direction. The second finger has a second support surface facing the first support surface and a facing portion being connected to the second support surface and facing the housing portion. The transport mechanism is capable of moving the clamp mechanism. The control unit controls a grip force of the clamp mechanism and a direction of movement of the clamp mechanism by the transport mechanism.

  • Patent number: 10632617
    Abstract: An attachment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a hand portion and a control unit. The hand portion includes a restriction portion that restricts a movement of a flat cable in a width direction and a holding portion that holds at least one of both surfaces of the flat cable. The control unit causes the flat cable to be held by a first holding force while restricting the movement in the width direction at a first position on the flat cable, causes the hand portion to move to a second position on the flat cable while maintaining the first holding force, and causes the flat cable to be held at the second position by a second holding force to attach the flat cable.

  • Patent number: 10417446
    Abstract: An information sharing apparatus (management apparatus) for medical care data of a patient body includes a data uploader for classifying the medical care data into confidential data for a primary use in medical care of the patient body, and published data published for a secondary use different from the primary use, to store the confidential data and the published data in a storage medium. A problem event detector monitors the confidential data being added or updated, to check occurrence of a problem event of clinical exacerbation of the patient body. An activation processor checks occurrence of a flag signal for activating relocation of the confidential data to the published data upon the occurrence of the problem event. A relocation unit filters the confidential data at least partially to produce published data upon occurrence of the flag signal after the occurrence of the problem event.

  • Publication number: 20160140305
    Abstract: An information collection apparatus for collecting information related to a diagnosis support program with a purpose for performance monitoring is provided. The diagnosis support program is for data processing of patient health data of a patient body and for outputting diagnosis support information for reference in determining a treatment plan for the patient body. A first information collector collects judgment information of approval or non-approval as to whether the treatment plan for the patient body for which the diagnosis support program is used is based on the diagnosis support information. A second information collector collects treatment result information of a treatment result of the patient body. Preferably, the treatment result information includes at least one of occurrence or non-occurrence of rehospitalization of the patient body, a cost of hospitalization of the patient body, and a cure level of a symptom of the patient body.

  • Patent number: 7903854
    Abstract: Volume data formed of tomographic images (medical images) is stored in a storage unit of a data center. Recorded in a tag area of each tomographic image is site information indicating the site contained in each tomographic image. A data server of the data center reads the volume data from the storage unit in response to a transmission request from a medical facility. Then, the data server extracts from the volume data the tomographic images of the same site as designated by the transmission request. The data server transmits the extracted tomographic images to the medical facility which made the transmission request.
