Shoichi NAKANISHI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10520453
    Abstract: Provided are an image acquisition device and an image acquisition method capable of acquiring the internal and external contours of a measured object with a high degree of accuracy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 3, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 31, 2019
    Assignee: Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Technology Research Institute
    Inventors: Akira Monkawa, Shoichi Nakanishi, Shinya Abe
  • Patent number: 10521936
    Abstract: The present invention provides a device and a method for image reconstruction at different X-ray energies that make it possible to achieve image reconstruction with higher accuracy. A device for image reconstruction at different X-ray energies includes: an X-ray source 1 that irradiates a specimen to be imaged 2 with X-rays; an energy-dispersive detector 4 that detects a characteristic X-ray emitted from the specimen to be imaged 2; a signal processing means that quantifies the peak of the characteristic X-ray detected by the detector 4; and an image reconstruction means that reconstructs an image on the basis of a signal from the signal processing means.
    Type: Grant
