  • Patent number: 6133930
    Abstract: A thermal transfer recording apparatus for thermally transferring a film of a transparent resin as a top coat layer to an image formed surface of a recording paper, includes a thermal head which generates heat in proportion to a supplied energy, and a control unit to keep the supplied energy under control such that the energy supplied during an application of film to an initial area of recording paper extending a length from the starting position of an application of the supplied energy, is greater than a supplied energy during an application of film to remaining areas of the recording paper. The apparatus promptly obtains the temperature appropriate for the transfer of film and faultlessly transfers the film to the recording paper, including an initial printing area of such recording paper.

  • Patent number: 5684398
    Abstract: A bolus of magnetized blood is formed by at least two radio frequency magnetic fields, and readout gradient magnetic fields are repeatedly applied at a proportion of 1:-2:1 along a blood vessel so as to continuously obtain a first echo signal whose phase change due to velocity is corrected, from the moving bolus. This first echo signal provides velocity information on the blood stream. The sequence of the readout gradient magnetic fields is repeatedly applied at a proportion of (.sqroot.2-1):-2:2:-(.sqroot.2-1) so as to continuously obtain a second echo signal whose phase change due to velocity and acceleration is corrected, from the moving bolus. Acceleration information of the blood stream is extracted by calculating the difference between the first echo signal and the second echo signal. The velocity information and/or the acceleration information is displayed in superposition with a specific blood vessel of an angiogram shot in advance.
